My mrs gets her nails done by some Polish woman. She has been here a while (kids were born here etc) but she is moving back to Poland soon as “money doesn’t go far anymore” and “everyone is rude and miserable these days”.

 

You can’t really argue with that.

I've mentioned it on here before, but I used to work with a Polish lad who was saying there was a point in the last ten or so years when he realised, travelling between here and Poland, that it had flipped and he now felt like he was going back to a better run country with better infrastructure when he was headed to Poland, rather than before when he'd felt that when he came here.

Probably the same colour, complexion and expression as Elvis had just before he bit the dust trying to curl one out on the Graceland throne.

I’ll let others decide how accurate all this is. One thing is for sure we wouldn’t be able to achieve it ourselves if we’re outside the EU (despite what he says) or via either of our two main political parties

It's complete bollocks is what it is.

Who's this knacker? Whinging about the left being in power (apparently he also regards the tories as being "left"). :lol:

Poland, whose leader is that we ll known right-winger Donald Tusk. :lol:

Poland, who have benefitted massively from EU membership as we stagnate. :lol:

Also the stupid Cunt doesn't know the difference between GDP and GDP per capits. bin under the file "absolute moron".

Lass I used to work with said it was quite an autocratic right wing government. And also quite a sexist society, mainly driven by the former. Paying women to stay at home and have kids, under the guise of Catholic theocracy, keeping them out of the workplace to an extent. Especially  what’s deemed to traditional male jobs. Which includes basically almost everything that pays well.

No doubt but Poland are one of the few countries that in recent history have rejected popularism and drifting to a more left leaning society I think. I work with quite a few polish health economists, all of them female, some have kids to juggle which doesn't seem easy for them, admittedly.

 

That said when we had our latest round of redundancies they were hard hit as they had much worse employment rights. But aye, they are going to surpass us on GDP per capita, but personally I think that is because of the EU, while I am in no doubt he was a Brexiter. Even Romania will surpass us in a decade.

My understanding of the assisted dying bull is it's so narrow it's not going to make much difference. You need to be close to death, have a terminal illness, have capacity to choose to die and be signed off by a number of Doctors.

 

Its not like they're going to be emptying the care homes anytime soon

The song that got away for Bob Marley and the wailers. :(

That's exactly what I thought of too. 

 

🎵 "Cause, 'cause, 'cause I remember when we used to sit

In the Fleet street bar  in London

Oba, observing the hypocrites, yeah

Mingle with the good gammons we meet, yeah

Good gammons we have, oh, good gammons we've lost

Along the way, yeah

In this dystopian future, you can't forget your imperial past

So dry your tears, I say, yeah

 

No farmers no food

No farmers no food

My little gammon, don't shed no tears

No farmer no food." 🎶

The plan is to put decoy missile silos on uk farmland which exceeds the inheritance tax values. 
 

Once Mad Vlad slings a few janky owld bits of 1990s Russian missiles at them, they’ll drop in value and won’t be eligible for IT   
 

Sorted. 
 

 

 

( We can start by putting a full fake tactical warfare HQ and missile factory on Clarksons gaff.

Went to my kids parent teacher night tonight. My vote is for teachers.

Did one by zoom yesterday. Basically a 10 minute exposition dump monologue from the worst film you've ever seen. I can repeat the full insight I got into my boy's scholastic performance; He likes school, he's got mates, he's doing fine, his handwriting could be smaller 👍

 

No time for questions, no room for clarification. Could have been an email.

My lass likes these ones cos the timer has a hard cutoff at 10 minutes and if flips to the next parent's. So you don't have to deal with the parents who want a full half hour debrief on their kid, knowing full well that there are another 30 in the class to get through.
