Why do you keep calling me Nik. And yes she would have been, not only is she a better speaker, she's popular.

The difference being, the Lib Dems didn't campaign exclusively on issues relating to gender and don't have a huge string of representatives being expelled for sexism.

Everyone calls you Nik.
Think Farage thought he was nailed on to win the seat he was going for, so got cocky saying if he didn't win he would resign. When he lost he resigned, but back tracked and said he was going to take some of the summer off, and then throw his name into the hat for the leadership of the party again.
At the end of the day, no matter what party they come from, all politicians are as dodgy as f uck, and full of bullshit.

Actually what they reported he said was :
- Introduce a moratorium on permanent immigration for five years
- allow skilled workers to come to work in the UK on temporary work permits
- take steps to find and remove the estimated 1-2m illegal immigrants living in the UK
But that's not as catchy as the total ban headline.
Skilled workers can come in under visas during that time. In otherwords immigration that covers the needs of business.
What he's saying is that he wants to control the rise in population because public services and housing are already under a lot of pressure and over capacity and this would give them a chance to catch up. He also excluded asylum seekers from this.
I don't see what's wrong with that? Could anyone explain to me without using terms like race, racism or xenophobia? I would love to honestly know.
We don't owe it to anyone to allow them to come and live here. You can't move to America or Australia or China or pretty much anywhere and do that.

Welcome back Wayne
Nice try, but I've never been a fan of constant reshuffles where someone finally gets to understand what's going on then gets moved somewhere else...........

Only the successful ones.
We run one car between us - cheaper than the two we used to own and run. We ski almost every year. "Luxuries" means different things to different people though so sacrificing things you are happy to do without isn't really a sacrifice, is it? There's a thread elsewhere on the forum with people discussing their favourite aftershaves, and some people are talking about stuff that comes in at £100+ a bottle - I wouldn't spend money on that, for instance. Some people smoke, and I don't. There are too many examples to list. And what we are doing is investing in our child's future - if that's a sacrifice, then it's a bloody good one in my book.
We live within our means, run a car, go skiing most years, buy a house and save up towards private education. It's not "proving a point", it's making a choice and budgeting accordingly. The only advantage we have that others might not have is that Mrs Tree gets a discount on the school fees due to her working at the school. Even so, pre-prep fees are lower than prep or senior fees and within reach for any couple on £50k a year gross IF they wait a few years before having the first child.
The sacrifice we are making, if any, is that we have chosen to wait a couple of years before having our first child. As I said before, she only left uni five years ago and is 26 years old, so even this waiting does not feel like a sacrifice. If she had started having children the moment she graduated then she would have been satistically less likely to have even gone into employment.

I think that people who want to work should be able to find a job that can provide for a family without the need for handouts. I also think that child care should be subsidised so that working couples don't get punished for going back to work.
