Coming back over here, taking our jobs?The relaxation of visa rules for lorry drivers which absolutely wasn't going to happen, is happening

Good, no idea why it's taken so long.....I mean I realise it makes them look foolish but, well, that was already a known.The relaxation of visa rules for lorry drivers which absolutely wasn't going to happen, is happening
As long as they arrive via an Eastern port so that they can pick our Autumn fruit and return in the same direction before Xmas to pluck our turkeys all will be grandWonder what the excuse (would say plan, but it's the government) is if foreign drivers say " nah, we're not going back to the uk to work, you hate us" , I'm guessing the government think the drivers are already en route to the ferries ready to go Monday morning and save us
Sadly in a lot of people's minds it does. I have a mate who isn't particularly interested in politics but he likes Boris "because he's different, he's a bit of a character". Sad but true. Hopefully at the next election Labour won't give people like him the comfort that they can justify voting for him "as the alternative is the IRA sympathiser Corbyn".He thinks making jokes covers up for lack of substance. He is so wrong.
I'm not a Trump supporter at all, but I think I'm of the view that Labour need a name to break through the soundbite wall. Someone like a Gary Neville. I know that's not going to happen and probably shouldn't, but it's the only way I can see them cutting through to Joe Public who just don't seem to care or take on board how incompetent this lot are. If there's an election tomorrow, in a year, 2 or 3 Johnson walks back in against anyone in the current Labour PartySadly in a lot of people's minds it does.

We live in times where the cult of personality rules. Tragic really. I know the Labour candidate for one of the Nottingham seats at the last election and he was a Corbyn supporter and was convinced that if he spoke to people and explained policies in detail they liked what they heard. Sadly that will never happen. The best we can hope for is probably Andy Burnham who seems to come over better than any other mainstream Labour politician.I'm not a Trump supporter at all, but I think I'm of the view that Labour need a name to break through the soundbite wall.

One hates to reply to oneself but hey ho. That post above was on my way for a swifty at the Western after work. The queue was about six cars out of the garage.Texaco on Stafford road had a nice big queue when I went by. Blocking an arterial route to the ring road so that’s nice. Fortunately I have a nice little independent I use out near Four Ashes for my fuel. Quite out of the way and not many know about it so I feel no urge at all to panic buy.
He was talking about himself right?
Andy Burnham looks like leadership potential whenever I hear him on TV.I'm not a Trump supporter at all, but I think I'm of the view that Labour need a name to break through the soundbite wall.
