Farmer Saint

One of the main reason's they're leaving to these countries is due to leaving the EU they can no longer easily move to other EU countries that they previously would have.

So just before Xmas me and a few friends did some volunteering at a children's charity, and one of my ex-colleagues joined us (he moved to Dubai to be a CEO of an IT company in April). He's enjoying it, although he said the weather in the Summer is oppressive. He also has a young wife and baby and they are struggling a bit. What he was saying though is that younger people are going out there without fully appreciating the costs. Most young people who move out will not have schooling including in their packages (tends to be VP and above), and this can be a huge cost, even with the zero tax incentives. However, most young people who move to Dubai aren't interested in having kids...you tend to be a certain kind of person to move to a sandy hell-hole like that.

Because we live in a shit hole of a country with no hope and no future outside of the EU, and a possible Reform government on the horizon to fuck it further. It's why I'm seriously re-considering my options now, even with the changes to the farm tax.

"Sun all year round is a huge reason for me." Fucking Labour and their anti-sun policies.

And here-in lies the issue, I don't support a political party, and I would guess many others don't.

Exactly this. Good to hear that from a relative "neutral".

I think most of the "left" on here are sat in the middle TBF. I think Ralph thinks we all work in the public sector, which couldn't be further from the truth.

Lol, what's that in response to?

A letting agent for one property with a long term, reliable tenant...doesn't make any sense to me.

I have said it before, I think they're the same person from different sides of the spectrum.

I don't think they're friends, that's the issue, I think they're just members of the public. The people stacking shelves in Aldi. The Kurdish barbers that he gets his perm done at. The people working on donations at the food bank (only kidding - he wouldn't donate to a cause like that). But yeah, blue collar, salt of the earth types. I'll await the profiles (hopefully we'll get some after the embarrassing way he skirted around the Dubai migration profiles earlier this year).

Fucking political correctness gone mad innit. You can't display anything these days.

Sorry for quoting him! Yeah, normal shit, different day. Just cannot back themselves.

Would love to know how these conversations started. How many people we talking about Ralph? And in what walks of life? Just an example of how you started your chat, and how that progressed onto Government policy and their hatred would be good. As if people want to have those chats at Christmas with some random weirdo 😂 It reminds me of when @east-stand-nic told us he has spoken to 7 separate white South African's, and each one told him of their struggles with being persecuted in SA because they were white. I think the problem the "lefties" have on here is not criticism of the Government - in fact some of us have been incredibly vocal on how shit this government has been - it's more that a lot of our right leaning posters just seem to make shit up to try to prove their point, instead of using facts. Come up with a well articulated, back-up point then we will be happy to discuss at length (as tends to happen more with posters like @hypochondriac), but there are too many posters, like yourself, who seem to veer away from detail or the truth. We don't particularly like this Government, we just don't take fools gladly. Have a lovely Xmas! 🎄 🎁

That's what Dahmer said.

And Father Ted.

Re-watching Frasier at the moment on Paramount. Forgot how good it was.

Hurricane is a good tune as well.

Agents who get a cut of rent, in a "we think you should put rent up" shocker.

Ossau Iraty is pretty damned good. Also, just went a collected some cheese from a farmer friend - this place makes some epic cheese: https://www.thetraditionalcheesedairy.co.uk/

I hope that you choke.

Where are these centres? Is it the same for women and children?

He definitely does not have kids. That is crystal clear to me.
