It’s International Women’s Day today. Can we please give all the best jobs to women, present them with every award and accolade available and pay them more than men, regardless of their ability? I think this would be a price worth paying in order to put an end to the relentless bleating.

:-) You are welcome.

Has it ever crossed your mind that sometimes newspapers report the truth? They are not slavishly bound to reporting only lies, sometimes there is truth within their columns. When a person becomes obsessed and highly passionate regarding one particular agenda, as you are, there is a tendency to...

The staff at Border Force do their best. The actual organisation and running of the department is yet another Teresa May triumph during her time as Home Secretary, just like the police.

Is the state pension a benefit? I've always viewed it as a compulsory investment product sold to me by the government. I will simply be honouring the T&Cs when I reach state retirement age. Governments have already broken the terms of the contract twice since we agreed on the deal 40 years ago...

Serves those benefit scrounging pensioners right. They sit on their @rses all day, reminiscing, complaining about the price of food, whinging about being cold and clogging up hospital admissions. And if that wasn’t enough, the miserable old b@stards are now living far too long. Have you ever...

Sandie Shaw, pure 1960s. It all went downhill from Brotherhood of Man onwards.........

I see that another billionaire has waded into the Brexit debate and donated £400000. No doubt Oldgroaner will be telling us that this billionaire stands to benefit in some way, probably by reducing the U.K. workforce into slavery via erosion of employment rights. Or that he will more easily be...

Will the U.K. still be able to participate in The Eurovision Song Contest post Brexit? That could be a dealbreaker.

I wouldn’t like to say. There is violence already and Merkel hasn’t even brought the supplementary money fountain on line yet.

I can only find stats for 2015 which shows that the U.K. contributed more than Italy, but slightly less than France & Germany, that year. Maybe Italy overtook us the following year, I hope so. That said, take away any of those 4, of which the U.K. is a significant and important part, and there...

There are still plenty of basket case economies in the EU, they’ve not gone away. When the UK money hose is turned off the Germans will feel it most Because they will be expected to make up the shortfall. I don’t think the average German will be grinning then. The reality is that there is a lot...

I was just making the point that most of the 27 are bit part players, freeloaders, so the EU’s pain will not be distributed evenly across all 27 nations. Whether we will become a sideshow is a matter of opinion.

But all 27 are not equal with many having been bribed into membership and just along for the ride and the free money. The effects will impact on the real EU, Germany and France and not all the side show nations.

Maybe they want to work in the Gig economy, I know several people who do and it suits them. They wouldn’t have it any other way. I don’t know what that bit of cut & paste from the ramblings of Fruit Gum man’s foundation has to do with anything. There are workshy layabouts all over the place...

Errr No. They work, they improve themselves, they become a more valuable commodity in the employment market. That leads to better wages. This one is interesting. Did anyone ever hold a gun to someone's head and say, "You must have more children than you can afford support, or else I will...

I know Anna Souffle'. I once worked with her before she became an MP, then a few years later we travelled to London by bus and walked from the bus stop to Trafalgar Square with Tony Benn. I've not seen her for a few years, but unless she has changed, she always seemed level headed and competent...

Not easy money at all. Raising the capital to make the initial purchase requires hard work, sacrificing the flashy holidays, not buying the new Audi every two years and being generally responsible as far as money is concerned. Then the rewards for the previous years of financial sacrifice can be...

True. There needs to be better support for those who find themselves without employment or income through no fault of their own. The rest can FO.
