Re: Reform UK's chronicles

Apparently we need immigration to help the economy grow, while businesses are laying off staff or closing.

On the other hand:

If you want your nails painted a pretty colour - 6 establishments per square mile.
Fancy chicken nuggets and fries? - 17 establishments per square mile.
Need that hair cutting? - 8 establishments per square mile.
Getting the car washed - 12 establishments per square mile.
Need advice on home energy efficiency? - you'll usually get an unsolicited phone call 7 times a day

Planning a train journey? - check the 'strikes' timetable
Need a doctors appointment? - set the alarm for 7:30 am and get in the phone queue to grab one of the 7 appointments available
Have a query about a change of disability benefits? - expect being shunted around on the phone all day and still get no answer.
Need a dentist? - good luck on that one.
