That's a very controversial viewpoint, especially on this site. Do you genuinely believe that when a poor man wants more and the rich man won't give it him, it's the poor man who is greedy?

Do you believe it because "fairly reliable sources" quoting "alleged" connections can be trusted? Or do you believe it because you don't like Farage and would believe anything even if the source was a pink elephant on LSD?

I don't think there was ever a suggestion that Brexit would mean wages for cleaners would be higher than for teachers.

Yes, and it's a stupid policy. Hopefully the new government will sort that out (though I have my doubts).

Surely the part of the point of remaining in the EU was because we didn't want to lose the cheap labour? One of the reasons people in the less affluent north liked the idea of leaving the EU, is because people on low wages don't particularly like the idea of keeping those wages low. If we...

Net migration figures are the net of incoming and outgoing, so the numbers going home (which appear not to be all that similar!) are included. The net migration into this country, AFTER deducting those who are leaving, is a fraction short of 1.5m over the last 2 years. As for some...

Why is it more or less universally accepted that the Conservative party is so very right wing? They believe in high taxes, high benefits, running down the armed forces, they believe that the NHS is untouchable and increase its budget more and more (regardless of results), they are fiscally...

If it was Alison Rose (CEO of NatWest group) who was the leak, then Simon Jack may have felt the source was unimpeachable! And if it was her, then the obvious next question is did she know she was lying, or had she been fed duff gen from below?

Here's another question. Since Jack has been sold down the river by his source who told him a pack of lies, does that mean he has any obligation to protect his source? It seems he has been used as a tool (perhaps in both senses of the word) by someone at the bank trying to protect his or her...

With hindsight, obviously they would put their reputations and business at risk because they don't agree with someone's politics. But there are even more serious charges to be levelled at the NatWest banking group. Someone talked to the BBC reporter Simon Jack about Farage's personal account...

I like most Brighton fans. But, like all clubs, you have a few rotten apples. So do Burnley, of course, but I object to people saying that all Burnley fans are rotten just as you would object to anyone saying all Brighton fans are rotten.

If there is evidence that justifies closing all a person's bank accounts, then prosecute him or her. Banks should not (IMO) have this power. If banks can close accounts for no given reason, then there must be a government sponsored bank account offering as a minimum banking facilities for...

Well, he won't be able to sell his house.

Equally, it's no surprise to find a Brighton fan who is stuffed to the gills with prejudice while claiming to despise people who are stuffed to the gills with prejudice. When you make accusations about vile things like racism, you need to provide evidence.

Well, of course he can take his cash card down to the bank and withdraw whatever ... Maybe not. Besides, I can see distinct problems if you want to buy (say) a house for cash.

But is it fair that anyone (whether you/we dislike them or not) should be prevented from using money simply on a nod and a wink from an anonymous source? Surely if this can happen, and it has happened to people other than UKIP supporters, then there must be some sort of national bank (the...
