Ah, so there were actually jobs to be had back then. You must have been living the life of Riley! Tom

Thank you Norman Tebbit! Tom

I'm sure it was and if you wish to only use an air weapon to reduce your rat population, you will be a long time trying. There are other methods which, if used safely, will work better than secreting yourself for hours on end in a good spot to hopefully kill rats. If you imagine that...

If you were able to cook meals, you couldn't have been all that poor. I have known people without the means to cook and without the money to buy anything that might require cooking. I'm not at all convinced that you really do have any grasp of what life is like for poor people in this second...

Oh, how awful for you! One thing for certain is that Southend doesn't have a monopoly on street beggars - you can find them in almost every town and city across the UK. Have you ever wondered how or why these people became reduced to such a state or is your mind closed to gaining such an...

Several other regions of the UK are also desperately trying to understand how they will manage without guaranteed funding from either the EU or the government. Tom

I'm not sure I understand the connection between having a good memory and being good at arithmetic when justifying one's comprehension of poverty. I'm inclined to agree with OG's opinion of your perception of the state of being extremely poor. Have you ever had to spend much of your life beneath...

Will hard/no deal 'Brexit' improve or exacerbate this situation? Tom

I'd go further and say that the UK, Italy and Spain all need to solve their corruption problems! Tom

Is that how you see the future of the nation? It's the world of Arthur Daley and Del Boy, a world of fly-by-night traders, operating in a cash-only environment with just the mugs on PAYE actually contributing anything to the exchequer. Tom

I don't remember reading that anywhere and I'll take a wild guess and say that no such mechanism exists as no country has ever ventured into this divorce situation before. If I understand correctly, the EU representatives have expressed that it isn't too late for the UK to withdraw from the...

We can trade with whomsoever we wish right now and that has always been the case so your assertion is wrong. There is no compulsion to trade purely with any EU 'white-listed' group of countries. I really think you actually believe all the distortions purveyed by the tory 'Brexit' wing in order...

Most of us are perfectly aware of the order of events but you seem to imagine that, once out of the EU, the 27 are going to agree to give the UK everything we have now for free. Any deal will mean worse terms for the UK than those we enjoy currently and that simply has to be the case. Your...

Ever the optimist 'Woosh'! Tom

For some silly reason, I'm reminded of the Oscar Wilde remark about foxhunters and the animal they seek to brutalise: 'The unspeakable in pursuit of the uneatable'. Very few foxes survive once identified and chased down. Tom

Not long to wait now for that gentleman; DE day, (defeat by Europe.....but in reality, a self-inflicted injury) is just the other side of the coming winter. Like OG, I am now rather looking forward to it and I'm pretty sure some of our more entrepreneurial retailers will do a nice line in...

From Cabinet to cabaret.....is there no beginning to that man's talent? Tom

Clearly, you are in denial 'Woosh' and quite frankly, I think you should be ashamed of the comments you have made. Tom

There are none so blind as those who will not see! The Jews of Israel have turned into the Nazis of the 1930s and '40s and are now committing atrocities against an oppressed people. What part of that have you failed to notice? Tom

Really! I'm so glad I refrained from making any such comparison. Tom
