    [Other Sport] *** 2024 Autumn Budget Official Thread ***

    Glad you've calmed down. I'm in no way go to even attempt to give credence to that pratt. I'm not trying to justify brexit, only offering a suggestion of something that I think is better as a result. It was just an observation. I'd been interested in this since I came across a demo at Shoreham...

    [Other Sport] *** 2024 Autumn Budget Official Thread ***

    While the UK was in the EU we could not ban the export of live animals, that was the part I highlighted. Freedom of movement meant that we did not have the power to block the shipment of animals from Ramsgate. When we left the EU, we were able to introduce a law in May this year that banned the...

    To educate you: There have been a number of campaigns against live animal exports for slaughter on welfare grounds; and concern about cases such as that of 40 sheep that were euthanised in 2012 at the Port of Ramsgate following transport problems. In the case that followed the High Court ruled...

    That's deliberately manipulating my response (and you know it). You also know that in the EU we were unable to stop the export of livestock or the import of various animal products. I didn't suggest people were force fed like geese, rather that we can now ban imports of low animal welfare...

    Banning the export of live animals is a good one.

    It's imaginative thinking like this that we need more of. It would not be a tax and those paying more would know exactly what they were paying more for. That would be very difficult to argue against going on the evidence of this thread. You could see that as a social responsibility/obligation...

    Damn you! I think that's a very sensible idea, just like the internet packages for OAPs and other groups. It would also be easy to do as it would be the suppliers problem to regulate the new tarrif. If it came with insulation and energy efficiency updates that would be even better. We already...

    Want to put any numbers to this or is it just better as a meaningless slogan? The reality is a small number of (whatever you define extremely wealthy) people who may get WFA, There's an even huger number of extremely poor people who will now get nothing.

    Amusingly, it seems that the punched man was arguing about WFA. The puncher had been to a police meeting about community safety before drinking.
