Ha! I’ve just been refused entry onto a plane from Stansted to Bologna because my passport issue date is March 2016. The expiry date is August 2026 but the rule is 10 years from issue date. Another Brexit benefit. Apparently. Go home now.
@LawrenceBr82505@EssexPR@ZackPolanski There’s no strong evidence that the policy itself is failing because it is too expensive, most research and public health assessments still view the system as largely successful overall, even if under pressure
@ftf_nr@EssexPR@ZackPolanski The reason it's beginning to fail in Portugal, is due to the cost and their financial situation.
The cost of the Greens policy would come at a huge cost that would be picked up by the Tax payers.
@LawrenceBr82505@EssexPR@ZackPolanski In the UK, cigarettes cost the NHS and society the most overall, followed by alcohol, with illegal drugs generally costing less in direct NHS spending.
@ftf_nr@EssexPR@ZackPolanski Actually it would cost far too much along with their other moronic ideas.
We need Romania's stance on drugs and more police back on the streets.
@EssexPR@ZackPolanski Prostitution is effectively already decriminalised in practice, as it’s widely visible online and rarely met with police intervention.
@SucramAloFiel@LozzaFox@TPointUK Black communities have reclaimed a variation of the N word.
This kind of “reclaiming” happens in other groups too, where a word that was once offensive is reappropriated by the people it targeted.
@ftf_nr@LozzaFox@TPointUK Not really, but if it would become completely unhip to blacks perhaps we wouldn't have to hear it every second or third word of some peoples mouths.
There should not be a single word which only certain groups can use.
Either words belong to everyone or they belong to no one.
That includes this word.

@ftf_nr@LozzaFox@TPointUK Well you heard him; he’s not getting out of his way to provoke people, so there’s that. Then if one would say just using the word is a provocation; I’d say everyone within a country should have the same set of freedoms and legal consequences.
£850 million paid in benefits to dead people…
This is what government waste looks like. Reform will end this and put your money back where it belongs: serving the British people.
😂 You’ll love this…
The “tax expert” pushing the Tice story is literally a Labour Party member and has even sat on their executive committee.
Totally unbiased, I’m sure.
As already explained, this is a small technical issue.
Tax was paid by Tice personally instead of via the trust.
So what happens?
✅ Tice gets a rebate from HMRC.
✅ The trust pays the withholding tax it should have paid.
That’s it.
A routine fix being dressed up as a scandal.
With the tax expert exposed as a Labour member, I’ve got nothing else to add.
A non-story being driven by a literal member of the Labour Party.
