    I havent seen them. Theres that jealousy again. The poor being poor will always want a hand out, and put their hands in someone elses pocket.

    You will only be ok if everyone is as poor and miserable as you.

    So not only did you miss out on Rishy crisps but you probably have never been on the La’al Ratty.

    I remember being taken there on a school trip when I was about 9 years old.

    Trip on the train and then afternoon on the beach at Seascale. Came back with a warm glow.

    Remember Psaw, in the words of Charles Spurgeon.....

    "It is not how much we have, but how much we enjoy, that makes happiness".

    Money, cars, heating, food, houses, clothes, holidays, gifts, philanthropy, looking after family, curry, pets, giving of all sorts, makes me happy. Happier than being poor.

    What a load of tosh.

    Money counts.

    On 2 January 2021, DFDS will commence sailings on a new freight ferry route between Rosslare in the Republic of Ireland and Dunkerque in Northern France.

    The route will be serviced by three ferries, each with a capacity for up to 125 lorries and their drivers in Covid-19 safe single cabins.

    There will be six weekly departures from each port, either in the afternoon or evening, with a crossing time of 24 hours.

    “We are extremely pleased to offer customers in the Republic of Ireland the opportunity to transport their goods directly to or from other EU countries without the customs formalities and possible waiting times that the end of the Brexit transition period will bring about for road haulage passing through the UK,” says Peder Gellert, EVP and Head of DFDS’ Ferry Division.

    We have been around this loop already. There is vast corruption in the EU on a scale that most folk would find difficult to even imagine. Those given the job of stopping it become part of it.

    Certainly the UK has corruption but not only is it substantially less than in the EU but there is a great deal more chance of it being discovered and the miscreants punished.

    There will in future be no arguments about the EU because with the UK no longer subsidising it the EU is bound to go bankrupt.
    To begin with, there is a serious problem in getting the EU budget for 2021 to 2027 passed. It seems that there are folk in the EU who are so delusional that they imagine that it has actually got a pot to p­iss in.

    This load of b­ollocks about customs checks causing delays of lorries between the UK and EU ports is extremely silly. The UK left the EU at the end of January this year and it will be entirely free of any EU crap at the beginning of January 2021.

    In all the years before the UK joined the EU there was no customs problem. It is nonsense to believe that with the current technology that is more than 40 years in advance of that time there will be problems. Furthermore there is no problem in customs between any other country and the EU.

    Anyone who raises the issue of delays in customs is really reaching the bottom of the barrel for an argument. Such a person has no credibility.

    To be fair to Peder Gellert, he did say "possible waiting times that the end of the Brexit transition period will bring about for road haulage passing through the UK".

    If he has misread the business opportunity DFDS could easily go the same way as half of the UK post Brexit.

    "Britain and France signed a new agreement to try to stop illegal migration across the Channel on Saturday, upping patrols and technology in the hope of closing off a dangerous route used by migrants to try to reach the UK on small boats."

    The UK has paid France £150m over the last 10 years to stop "illegal migration".

    Hopefully this is just a short term advance because the suspicion has to be that by this time next year, with the UK offering no jobs and no benefits, the small boats will be heading in the opposite direction.

    The long term financial effects of the Covid 19 situation will occur for at least two generations worldwide. So if we consider the relative viability of economies worldwide this is unaltered. Now let's consider the effect of the UK leaving the EU. The UK has currently got more than 50 free trade deals worldwide and is in negotiations with many more countries. It is much easier for the UK to get trade deals than it is for the EU because the EU has to have all its members to agree to the deal before it can proceed. On lots of occasions one or more EU countries have stymied the deal because the object country seriously competes with it in a key business aspect.

    Of course the viability of the EU is in serious doubt because the UK, which was one of the two countries permanently subsidising the entire organisation, left the EU at the end of January this year. Thus that is a lot of money that the EU is not getting and the UK is keeping. So that alone seriously tilts the economic comparison between the EU and the UK in favour of the UK.

    The UK is now free to trade in the World Premier League. It can stride forward confidently with its renowned initiative and enterprise. In this respect the EU is seriously inhibited because for the reason given above the EU detests worldwide competition whereas the UK is gagging for it.

    There can only be increasing demand to get to the UK. A lot of this demand is by naive people who think that if they can reach the UK they will be housed, given money and will not have to work. Clearly this is not true. In the UK you can prosper and although there are other ways to do that the main way is to work hard, have skill and be competitive. The competitive aspect sets the UK substantially economically above the EU, which cannot avoid going bankrupt.

    I would of course be chanting your name over and over, like at a football match. This cant happen of course. Way to go. The other aspect is that i object to british money being spent on development around the EU.

    I object to Polish sewers being fixed by british money. If it ever happens at all. Money goes missing.

    Big is not beautiful and powerful, which is the thinking behind it.

    Big is corrupt, and ends up serving its own purpose. Look at the BBC, it lost its soul in the 70s.
