The little thing that was ended with the Good Friday/ Belfast Agreement

No problem.

From the UK Government "Between 2015 and 2019 Pakistan was the largest single recipient of direct UK government-to-government bilateral aid. However, since then, overall UK aid has been cut from 0.7% of UK national income to 0.5% and aid to Pakistan has been reduced dramatically. After...

Failure to take action on CO2 is also borrowing from the future. It is cheaper and easier to fix things over time rather than deal with the consequences.

I don't understand why some sections of the press are telling refugees how good things are for them here, which they are not, if they do not want them to come here. They should be saying they will have to live in some grotty bedsit with little money for a couple of years whilst the bureaucracy...

The thread maybe a rotisserie.

Some people think it is a good idea to help refugees to stay in or near their own country. It is cheaper than your idea of spending the money on them when they get here. Boosting the economy of other countries also boosts the potential for UK exports. If you went to a school built with Germany...

I would agree that you did a great job ten years ago and its good to hear that you are still restoring.

We have cut the overseas aid budget which can help people to stay in or near there own country from 0.7% to 0.5% of GDP. Of that 0.5% we now spend half of it in the UK on the refugees. We have cut the overseas aid budget in effect by two thirds. The government is doing the opposite to what you...

Why would Albanians be sending money to Romania. I doubt that many more Albanians are criminals than any other place. The problems is criminal gangs which can have an undue influence. In the past gangs like the Kray's had an undue influence in this country but the overwhelming majority of...

The majority of asylum seekers who appeal are successful. The government has failed to process but a tiny fraction of the people who arrived by boat last year. More than 90% (correct me if I am incorrect) have been in the system for more than three months. Does that mean that they are...

I would assume that the reply was started before you made your edit. Then the answer was posted latter. Maybe @Kittyhawk had to go chase rabbits.

It does not help the French to have masses of homeless people roaming around northern France. I can't imagine the people of Kent would like them here launching boats to go to France. People voted to leave the EU and they knew what they were voting for (well they say the did).

I doubt the mail will be reporting much on the conditions at the concentration camp in Kent. They will be reporting that the streets are paved with gold for refugees. Meanwhile over half of the overseas aid budget is being spent in the UK. There will be less spending on things to help them...

If the door is shut the oven will release its heat slowly. The benefit would be in heating the house rather than the kitchen. If you raise the temperature in the kitchen more of the heat will spread especially if you have the door open if not open plan. If you are going to close the kitchen...

Good to see that I did not make a mistake with my old casio.

I went on two of those CV courses about ten years ago after the contractor I worked for laid off half their engineers as there was no work. Did not learn a much but it may have been helpful to be put in contact with other people who are in the same position as you for a few days. Sitting at...

Its two years. EU law. The government will be lowering it at the end of next year unless they change their mind.

1. A lot of those are people with mental health issues. 2. This has got better in the last few years. But I think the marginal tax rate is still in the region of 60 or 70% for many. 3. There are some like this but a lot less than some think. 4. This also certainly happens but it is quite...

If it is 76mm thick timber and set back 15 degrees from the vertical the set back on the straights will be 76 Tan 15 = 20.36mm If the truncated cone cake board is square or a rectangle the higher corner will be in 20.4 from both face. from corner square root of 2 times 20.36 squared =...
