Perhaps in the broadest sense that could be considered correct, but there is certainly a difference moving taking money abroad for tax purposes, and purchasing services from abroad. The second feels more more of a "balance of payments" imports/exports style argument.

Probobly more humane for them to be shot with a rifle, than mauled by Lynx, some Venison in that too.

Should there be a levy for moving large amounts of money out of the country?

I suppose the example would be planning (unfortunately, not online, but I'd recommend some of Private Eyes articles on that), which whilst it is a case of the (local) government engaging in consultation, is likely not the target of this.

Nige will say anything if he thinks it is a distraction that will buy his chums a few more years of asset-stripping our country.

As with anything, consultation is not inherently bad, and can help avoid bad decisions being made, and expensive rectificatons becoming needed. Equally, we probably have found ourselves over emphasising this, particuarly when to comes to special-interest groups, that have seemingly gone from...

Suggesting that using the flag that is more exclusive is an inclusive gesture is an odd take. 1788510152 Is it someone elses property?

How? The union flag by design represents all nations in said union. It is not the flag of England. 1788440683 There was a referendum, the result was clear. No dobut this democratic fervour for up-to-date representation will vanish as soon as the result you prefer happens, and then you will...

They also do Laundry, but not for clothes.

Usually that's the case. I think Debenhams was notable for owning a lot of it's stores, but that quickly changed when they were bought out. I think it was broadly, Sell off the stores, massive payout to shareholders, debenhams struggles to pay the leases on the newly sold off stores, debenhams...

I am of the view that it is not possible to make a train with comfortable suspension for the UK network with a 26m carriage length. The suspension has to devote too much effort to keeping the vehicle in-guage to have comfortable ride characteristics.

Ah yes, the "carrot" of barely being able to make ends meet working a dead-end warehouse job.

I feel it's important to remember that newspapers are not unbaised in their views of social media - lets of the advertising money that once supported many papers now gets spent on social media advertising. Don't get me wrong, there is cetainly a lot of criticism that can legitimately be made of...

Indeed, in generations gone by, there would have been many industries happy to take on apprentices, and give those not-so-acedemically inclined another chance to make something of themselves, in a workplace that could work to smooth off some rough-edges. Unfortunately, across much of the country...

In my previous interactions with you on this forum I have always found you to be able to engage in sensible discussion. I hope that is still the case, and that the straw-man argument above is just a symptom of having a lot of quotes to to respond to. I do wonder if it would be worth splitting...

Unfortuantely, longer sentences are politically expedient, they fit the "tough on crime" narrative, and the costs don't surface till later.

We already have one of the largest per-capita prison populations in Europe, which doesn't support the idea that the "tough on crima" mantra is all that effective. Whilst this approach might appear satisfying, it seems unlikely to solve the problem in the long term, and exacerbates the shortage...

From a socialist perspective, I can understand the desire to repay international solidarity, but the logical leaps required to turn that into "I'll repay the ukranians by fighting against them" shows either some remarkable mental gymnastics, or a unquestioning belief of Russian propoganda.

The understanding that I have is that gaming state welfare is inactuality a lot harder than the tabloids present it to be.

If there is one things that is detrimental to my mental health, dealing with off shore call centers is it.
