@Prae54Rae So Malta became independent in 1964. It was so successful that it signed a support package with the UK in 1972 for financial aid and military protection until 1979. 👍🏻

Try asking the Maltese if they would like Westminster to take back control of their country? 😀😀

@narindertweets @BobWhit17001444 You seem very confused. They’re supposed to scared for their lives and fleeing from war and persecution, did you forget that bit of your argument? So is it dangerous where they came from or not?

I won't tolerate any idiotic replies. I don't appreciate the scare mongering im seeing - the approximate number is 1, 300. My understanding is the Spanish PM Is comfortable with immigrants coming as the economy depends on it. The question to ask is - what us happening in Morocco for these poor ppl to become this desperate?

@Matthew96296853 @ATaylorFPGA @charles_forsyth @BellaWallerstei Airport delays caused by us leaving the EU, and a desire to see a closer relationship with the EU in due course, is neither being unable to accept the results of a democratic vote nor is it ascribing every adverse impact in everyday life on that decision.

@andrew_lilico I earn £230k and own a £1.2m house with no mortgage. I pay £96k a year in tax vs less than £5k per year in tax for £30k salary. I’m more than paying my share. When the care costs at 6k a month roll in. Who’s covering it?? Not Mr £30k a year

Any government that taxes people on £30k a year to give the money to people with millions of pounds in assets is not going to find itself very popular for very long.

@AlexBarnicoat_ Makes you wonder why it is so expensive to deliver council services in Hartlepool, eh?

A modest £200k family home in a northern town like Hartlepool pays over £2,200 a year in council tax. A multi-million pound penthouse in Kensington & Chelsea pays less. The valuations are still stuck in 1991. Working families in struggling towns are charged more for worse services than people living in London mansions. The system taxes ordinary people harder to prop up the richest postcodes. Is council tax the most unfair tax in Britain?

@FeartheBeardy No one should be putting more in than they are taking out. This is why we need higher income taxes and other disincentives to work to raise the percentage of net beneficiaries of government money

47% of UK households are net tax payers 53% take out more than they put in That one statistic lays bare the problem with taxation. It’s not that “the rich don’t pay enough” It’s that not enough people pay anything! The UK is a welfare system with a private sector bolted on.

@Wishfullthinki9 They think they know everything…and it’s always been that way with the younger generation throughout history! They’ll learn as they grow up, then they’ll be the older ones and they’ll eventually be in your position complaining about the young!!

Why am i constantly being told when I engage in conversations and online that at 82 I am to old and I should keep my opinions to myself as they are no longer important. Maybe I am missing something and should just let the younger generation get on with it.

@Matthew96296853 @carmenthunder @zicopriv1 women are getting into jobs with said degrees, these jobs make money, money they use for a down payment on a home, and the mortgage. why are men not buying homes? U dont need a family to do that. the clear point is, money used to be an incentive for womem to date men, not anymore

@RavenNe62037273 Everyone I know who has lived under communism and escaped very much disagree Do you think the walls around North Korea and Iron Curtain was to stop all the people trying to get in? Russia is currently offering incentives for westerners to move there. Maybe you should consider

@roniwithana @carmenthunder @zicopriv1 Females have historically done better at school More men than women are go into jobs that don’t require a degree Higher Ed now includes subjects that women are more likely to choose More women are buying their own homes because men are opting out of relationships, of course

@Matthew96296853 @carmenthunder @zicopriv1 is that so? so how come women are outpacing men in higher education and sole homeownership (first time buyers) then? men placed themselves in the cashcow position, and now that women are making their own money and buying their own homes, and men’s only value to women is absolete.

@JossSheldon Such a dumb post on so many levels I don’t know where to start. Owning an asset and renting it to users who don’t want to buy is just a service and is subject to supply and demand like anything else. Like hotel rooms, taxis, airplane seats, all kinds of large equipment etc

I love the idea that rent controls might make landlordship unprofitable... + Landlords would be forced to sell their properties. + Property prices would plummet. + Former renters would be able to afford to buy their own homes. + Landlords would be forced to find productive work.

@roniwithana @carmenthunder @zicopriv1 You expect men to approach you first, pay on first dates, provide for you and be your protector. Yet you want be seen as “strong independent women”. But “men are enforcing gender roles”! Of course there should be something in return, relationships are a partnership.

@carmenthunder @zicopriv1 exactly! and men do benefit from going out of their way to enforce gender roles, because they always expect something in return. a man’s kindness isn’t free.

@SportingNest @Talk2frank44 @RosaZambonini Top 3 countries for small boat arrivals are Iran, Afghanistan and Eritrea. None of which were colonies of the British Empire. UK is one of the top 3 countries in the WORLD for hosting illegal immigrants. So no, “most” other European countries don’t “get more”. Check facts.
