this is the very weird thing, all those cuts last summer are being rolled back. as if there was some point to make and not really necessary.
If you look at the amount those in the South will pay in Stamp Duty, and Inhertitance tax alone, compared to the North, I think you will find the answer to the Northern bints issues.

Care to elaborate
WFP, lots of transport related projects and science budgets (i recall a supercomputer in particular) were cut last summer. now all back in.

The Millionaire Exodus, with over 10,000 reports in the print, broadcast, and on line media, that never actually happened.

There are also links to an article on the public school VAT and the rich farmers inheritance tax.

For anyone with a leftish political leaning, Byline Times is a very good read.

I see Darren Jones proved popular on QT last evening.

After claiming that the majority of Channel migrants were women and children, he was derided when his error was pointed out.

Statistics for the year to March 31 last year from the Migration Observatory showed 75 per cent of those arriving in Britain in small boats were adult men.

Separate Home Office data showed that 83.6 per cent of arrivals over the year to this March were men, with 12.5 per cent women and the rest of undetermined gender at the time of the release.

He wouldn't have it though, challenging the facts.

You'd think he'd be aware of such data.

When the Irish emigrated to the US, en masse, during the 19th century, and early 20th century, because of the expense of passage, families would save their money and send the young men to, hopefully earn enough in America to pay for the rest of the family to join them.
It was thought that young, fit men would have a higher earning potential than women and children

I imagine this is the same reason we see such a disparity between the different demographics who are braving the journey from their original country to Europe.

My pick out word from that, braving.

Power to their elbow.

Bravo.
