@Lynne Of course, the average covers a multitude of circumstances from a modest terrace to a £million+ property. And on the other side of the coin, people who have managed to scrimp and save have seen those savings seriously eroded by near zero interest rates.
The UCL report so vaunted by the pro-immigration lobby has been pretty much rubbished by Mervyn Stone, Emeritus Professor of Statistics at UCL who described it as “fatally flawed” , and “the study was ‘obviously driven to make the case it claims to have made’. He added: ‘If any honest statistician had made the same painstaking but assumption-based calculations, the last word he/she would have ...
Nick Robinson was absolutely right when he stated the last Labour government’s immigration policy, above all else, has had the profoundest effect on this country since the end of the last war. Jack Straw was being deceitful when he claimed ministers were merely misadvised about the true estimation of immigrant numbers from eastern European post 2004. It was Labour’s policy all along to allow ...
Nice attempt at deflection there Mrs C. Millie Dowling and Hillsborough have nothing whatsoever to do with the topic of this thread. I highly suspect we have more like Makaburi closer to home. The bomb in the Exeter restaurant in 2008 springs to mind.
@Mcjrpc If you go back and read comments by Smella in the initial thread he/she started, some of that posters comments are very rude, not directed at one one member directly, but at other members in general. You seem surprised by the reaction it caused, but it's obvious that was Smella's intention all along. I have no doubt Smella will resurface at some point, but not necessarily using that ...
So it would seem TDC wants to sell off the Laherne garden plots for commercial deveopment, I can see that going down like a lead balloon. And the plans for the leisure centre are a bit suspect.
And so it continues. Muslim campaigners are taking to the streets of London on Friday to protest about the sale of "sinful" alcohol. Make of this what you will. http://www.london24.com/news/muslim_group_linked_to_hate_preacher_anjem_choudary_to_march_on_brick_lane_against_sinful_alcohol_1_3094514?utm_content=bufferd380d&utm_source=buffer&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=Buffer
It's quite obvious smella is a plant in this forum, he/she has no interest in knitting and is here for one reason only, to stir things up.
Seems like smella has clocked back on duty, must be on the late shift.
The subject of the threads that so upset you were perfectly valid topics for the people who originated them, I really don't know wny you think the folk of Dawlish should live in some kind of PC bubble and not discuss such things. I am also rather astonished that you apparently moved from London to Dawlish without knowing much about the town at all, perhaps you should have done a bit of reseach ...
