A very simplistic way of looking at it....

Consider the following.

Most processing plants operate in out of town areas.

Most 'dole scrounging druggies' live in centralised urban environments.

Most 'dole scrounging druggies' don't have cars & therefore rely on public transport.

Public transport doesn't run services either
1) At the time that people need to start their shifts
or
2) Near enough to processing sites for people to get to.

The processing plants in and around my local area don't offer a company owned bus service.

Whilst I'm all for people who are able to work actually working, let's set about the issue with a degree of realism as to what can be achieved rather than spaffing sun-esque gibberish.

You'll love chicken in a can !

Damn I forgot that the low skilled, low paid foreign workers all have country estates and drive Range Rovers. Not one of them have I seen living in bedsits/multiple occupancy and car sharing to get to work. I really must try harder eh :rolleyes:

You're being puerile, a lot of foreign workers will live in relative proximity as you state and may well split the cost of a taxi.

Whilst i wish it was as simple as you make it out to be, unfortunately, it's not.

So, yes, please do try harder.

You know nothing . . .

You've never worked in a factory, probably never set foot inside one.

Probably an office worker, all spread sheets and no idea of what goes on outside the air conditioned world you inhabit :p:

I'm an 'office worker' now and my home office doesn't have air conditioning, but in my younger years worked in manufacturing environments.

BTW Dahling do keep up. Spreadsheets are so passé ;)

That's a question for Hugh, not me.

In the meantime, does anyone know whether the EU has responded to the UK's grace period extension request?

That's what happens when you make the political decision to try and make a profit out of what should be a public service :mad:.

Let’s try to bear the topic in mind, eh? ;)

The EU is trying to ban/reduce UK TV and film content from Europe’s screens.

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/202...aign=DM1446704

Doesn’t Russia, China and N Korea resort to that stuff? “Our friends in Europe” are definitely the enemy. Gloves need to come off and the public should be made aware that there are better friends available with whom we can spend our money.

Remainers - what do you say to the latest EU wheeze? They are the enemy.

EDIT:

Quote:
Britain has hit back at an EU plan to slash the “disproportionate” number of British TV and films shown in Europe.

The European Commission has been asked to carry out an impact study on the risk of British cultural imperialism, in possible first step towards tough rules banning UK shows from screens.

British dominance on TV and streaming services, thanks to hit shows such as The Crown and Downton Abbey, was described as a threat to Europe’s “cultural diversity” in a leaked EU document.

The commission impact study could be a first step towards regulations to cut down the number of UK shows, which could have ramifications on fundraising for future British blockbusters.

A Whitehall source accused Brussels of "cutting off their nose to spite their face" to punish the UK for having the temerity to quit the bloc.

Such was EU anger at Brexit, the source said, Brussels was willing to deprive Europeans of feel good romantic comedies such as Bridget Jones’ Diary or brooding, sensual and sumptuous period dramas like Poldark.

Please don’t post paywalled links unless you’re also going to post enough of a quote for the rest of us to work with.
