Makes me laugh the saying “kids going soft” because they want more equality and fairness and are less hardline patriotic and in general more multicultural and diverse.

How exactly is it they are ‘going soft'? Doesn't really make much sense.

They wear shoes.

I bet Scozza never wore shoes until his feet stopped growing.

Others moisturise or have time consuming beard maintenance regimes. Soft as you like.

There's a saying king Jon, "tuff as old boots" if that is what you are looking for?

Whereas you would rather try and blame the government for not having any shoes or not paying for peoples shoes

Homeless? Skint? In danger of getting pissed on while you sleep? That'll be £100 pounds please, or a grand if you don't pay up.

Yet another headline but no substance! How do they think this will be enforced and who will enforce it. The police won't and the local council wardens won't.

You need an address to serve a warrant to summons to court so basically a non starter, or a real name.

Heres a shocker, why not send the immigrants fleeing war torn France straight back and use the money from housing and supporting them to support and provide outreach services for the rough sleepers.

... but they need us more than we need them ... The German car industry ....

I get the feeling the EU have given up caring. The UK will still buy German cars even if they cost more, what's the alternative, start making Austin Allegros again?

They obviously see us as a threat wanting us so closely aligned even once we have left........

Take fishing for instance, France will suffer massively if they can't fish in our waters, German car industry will also suffer as VW, BMW and Mercedes sell less to us........

I don't mind German cars costing more because I won't be buying one. Nothing political just not bothered about them.

In reply to Post #397
The alternative is to buy cars built in Japan, eastern countries or even Sunderland, or if you're dead keen on buying an EU car then maybe you'll have to pay more for it.

All easy choices for me as I've said I'm not really bothered about cars.

Almost certainly true. Once out of EU employment laws UK based manufacturers will be able to undercut EU competitors by opening sweatshops full of hard working Brits working 7 days a week on a fiver an hour. British built iPhone anyone? Seen the working conditions in Foxconn?

I wouldn't be holding out for Sunderland if recent trends are anything to go by. Unfortunately I can't see anyone wanting to build cars here (unless the allegro does make a comeback) if there's a no deal Brexit

I do find it unbelievable that parliament still took the summer break with so much going on / going wrong.

I don't imagine many business owners would take 6 weeks off in similar circumstances

Their arse really isn't twitching Wayne. The EU is bored of Brexit and no one is talking about it anymore.

No deal, so what? How many things I buy in Italy come from the UK and will get more expensive?

Cars? No.
Tech? Not much.
Food and drink? Hardly any

How much stuff in UK shops comes from the EU? Significantly more.

Even Farage has shut up about it now and is trying to get the Gammon Army wound up about refugees rather than rejoicing over the soon-to-be-enjoyed Brexit.

Still, you'll blame the EU for punishing the UK, or Greta Thunberg, or remainers, or something - anything other than facing up to the fact that you've been had and voted for a ****show which will set the UK back years and take it from a top worldwide influence to an international irrelevance. Well done.

Don't mention Greta the scientific expert on global warming ********.......another lie!!
