As much as I hate the austerity cuts across the board. I believe this is a good idea as long as the money stays in the UK and has proper procurement rules, which I would trust labour to do better than the Tories, and can’t see Reform or Greens being as good.

It would lead to growth as a lot of that money would go to wages of UK employees and come back as taxes. Plus we need to be realistic about not relying on the US. We have strong university education and should build back up our engineering sectors.

It was illegal but not enforced at all or followed by the locals, so not followed by anybody else either. During the day was fine but in the evening and night it was like there was no law

Really? And did they self regulate their fees? Oh wait no, it took EU enforcement to cut down their fees and stop businesses passing them onto customers. The EU also enforced more security regulation, and more use of those by the banks themselves using these credit card processors who washed their hands of levels of security

Yeah, went to Spain, and woke up with a sore throat and really smelly clothes. Took me back to before the ban and realised how good that was for everyone

I use a curve card which links to existing credit cards. Their app allows me to add it as a payment option for NFC on my fairphone with /e/os

And thank god it changed back. Of all the issues in my life, having to look at a red passport once every few months affected me so much that you can’t even imagine the hardship. That and something about wonky bananas that I’ve been told was a massive problem that’s only going to be fixed if I vote for that party which definitely represents me as I can have a beer with it’s leader. I’m guessing he’ll buy the round given his wealth that the woke London elite keep trying to take but he’s stood up to them

Are US citizens allowed to join the armies of other countries? I’m surprised by that

I completely agree and think you can’t arrest everyone but I don’t see that happening though. Look at the numbers on the street. If more people surrounded them so they could not physically leave, it might be different. What I see is a few brave people trying to stop them and not succeeding, and everyone else staying inside or filming from afar

They won. They got exactly what they wanted, plus anybody who tried to intervene got arrested along the way. From the headline I thought it would be more like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZcoXdZeabA . There’s still massive problems here and our version of ICE have got away with a lot but thankfully nowhere near this stage
