Would have the lifelong impact in their future lives! Jobs, loans etc Sadly not, maybe it would enable more idleness and disruption due to them not being able to get a job?

Ahh you mean the educated. Careful, Henry may be lurking? you could end up categorised with me as being being way right of any fascist or despot he can think of? Apologies Henry, it was just too comical to miss a ping back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems fairly unrestricted in the EU , in that anyone from the 3rd world appears to be free to travel through it, visa less, passport less, and with no visible means of financial support ? Miraculously , they appear to be toting a fully internet enabled , charged smartphone, to call back home to the wife and kids they left behind in their shattered war torn country, that they had to flee from because they were gay ? Perhaps if you want unrestricted travel , you will have to alter your parameters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chatting the other day with someone whose daughter was said to be involved in the allocation of benefits to the boaters, supposedly a mobile phone and sky subscription are classed as essentials? Sadly the same doesn't seem to apply to our homeless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly the same doesn't seem to apply to our homeless. I dont know about the TV subscription , but the UN has designated a fast internet connection as a basic human requirement. Acknowledging internet access as a human right follows an announcement by the UN in 2016 that “measures to intentionally prevent or disrupt access to or dissemination of information online (is) in violation of international human rights law.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnfromUK Posted November 19, 2022 Report Share Posted November 19, 2022 Now Sir David Attenborough has been targeted - apparently for eating in a fish restaurant which is "a symbol of excess and inequality." Now I always thought that Sir David was very much a friend of our climate and has been very clear on his worries over climate change. The real reason, once again is that is is really about the left targeting what they see as 'privilege'. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11447039/Eco-zealot-arrested-tried-confront-Sir-David-Attenborough-ate-fish-restaurant.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

51/50 Posted November 19, 2022 Report Share Posted November 19, 2022 Paid agitators,it has been said that the retirement age ring leaders each received a 25k lump sum payment from none other than our dear friend Klaus Schwab & the WEF,every little helps to push the climate change agenda & eventually have us all without transport,ever wonder why the police won't deal with these protestors?

I'm sure it is huge - but I don't really know when he started to become 'climate aware'. As a slight aside, it is amazing how many flights there are just over 'quiet' parts of the UK.
