    About as similar as Surrey and the Cotswolds, GP…but you’re right, ‘Cottonopolis’ isn’t what it once was and the vision of a ‘Northern Powerhouse’ seems a long way off.

    I think Joseph Malins from Bethnal Green might object to this suggestion.

    And first in UK was possibly opened by one of rA's ancestors...
    Hardly he was a Jewish immigrant, from central or eastern Europe! Seems not much changes in reality.

    Chips apparently originated in Portugal and fish and chips was supposedly first served in Belgium

    I'd like the lad to show me just one person that doesn't have mixed, foreign descendance. Which brings me to the lad himself. I wonder what % of foreign he has in his DNA?
    I can tell you that. One of my ancestors came from France in the early 1700's.

    Here's one that probably hasn't crossed your mind either. This country has been invaded and overrun many times. Romans/Saxons/ Normans to name but a few. Every time was mass blood shed and a re drawing of the lines.
    In the last 40 years, more immigrants have come to the UK than in the previous 2000 years.
    Folks think that change in such a short space of time is good?
    You're seeing it now, play out in crime and politics.

    Anyway, you get back to your collars and cuffs…think you might have missed a bit there.
    Lol, you think immigration isn't an issue based on Council results?
    Here let me help you

    Remember it seems that Gaza is more important than the bins in some councils, Allahu Akbar

    I’ve never suggested ‘immigration isn’t an issue’…I’ve said it isn’t as important an issue as you make it out to be. It isn’t the ‘be all and end all’ issue you want it to be.
    We’ve just had local and mayoral elections across the country and the Party that wants to put all it’s proverbial eggs in the electoral basket of ‘stop the boats’ and send people to Rwanda has, you have to agree, been hammered just about everywhere.
    How do you explain that? I’d suggest it’s perhaps because issues such as the cost of living, the state of the NHS, the state of our roads, rivers, seas and schools, the repeated lack of honesty and integrity shown by so many in government since the last election, the cost of borrowing and the inability to run a transport network etc. are all currently seen as more important than immigration.

    Yet the surveys say otherwise. Nobody told me there'd be days like these - strange days indeed.

    When you're strange
    Faces come out of the rain
    When you're strange
    No one remembers your name

    Yet it remains number 3 on the most heated topics.
    We'll see where it ends up, when Labour get in and Starmer does feck all about it,
    He's used it in his rants in parliament, yet has NO PLAN to deal with it.

    In fact we are still waiting for any solid plan on anything from him. He's only there, due to Tory incompetence and failure to follow through what was promised.

    So now, at last, we (nearly) know. Looking very like 4th July…when hopefully the country can claim independence from this bunch of incompetent clowns and 14 years of misrule.
