T he UK is the only country putting up taxes during the huge cost of living crisis because of Covid and the War in Ukraine. That's because we also have a cost of LEAVING crisis on top of it all in the UK.  And the government seem hell bent on trying to hide that (because they did it) rather than thinking of how to help and protect You and Me.  50% of all UK imports come from the EU. And they're now subject to extra costs, tariffs etc. Because we're not a member anymore. Also, the global hgv driver shortages are much worse in the UK because EU HGV drivers are no longer classed as high skilled because they don't earn over £50,000 a year.  Because you're not skilled if you don't, according to UK immigration policy. (Farage's 'Australian style points system'). This means companies have to pay more to drivers to try to get the ones that ARE available. Companies obviously aren't going to absorb those costs, they've got shareholders to pay. You and

REJOINERS - STOP LOOKING DOWN ON PEOPLE

A newspaper owner is sitting at a table with you, an immigrant and a full packet of biscuits.  The newspaper owner opens the pack, puts 1 biscuit in front of you, then the rest in his own pocket.  Then he whispers in your ear "careful, that immigrant wants your biscuit".  Of whom should you be careful? You work for a sausage company for £9 per hour.  One of your co-workers earns £10 per hour, doing the same job with no differences between you.  Do you fight to get your co-worker down to £9 per hour, or to get your wage up to £10 per hour? Obviously, you are careful of the newspaper owner and fight to get your wage put up to £10 per hour, if you have any sense, right? Well people don't tend to.  They look down the chain rather than up the chain.  I guess it could be 'animal instinct', you would attack or fight back against something your own size or smaller.  But are more likely to cower against something bigger than you. A lot of people would look at immigrants do

UK DJS - GET USED TO YOUR BEDROOMS

Have you been listening to your favourite DJs play your favourite music since back when you can remember?  Where every set has a memory of some sort attached to it.  To the point where it's inspired you so much you've just bought your own set of decks. The plan in your own head being to learn your craft for a couple of years.  Hours practice each day and endless money into the download sites or record shops to build your record collection and own sound.  Then maybe you can get some gigs.  Probably not paid at first.  In your local, then surrounding areas.  Then around the UK.  Building up to the dream of your first "European tour", booked in smallish clubs all around Europe.   You'll not earn much, but what an amazing experience.  What an exciting way to get your name out there.  The way many of the biggest and best artists over time have achieved their dreams! Well, that's over.  Brexit means we are no longer part of the single market and we can no longer cr

When I saw Labour narrowly win the Batley and Spen by-election, followed by Keir Starmer announcing it as a great victory for Labour and how "Labour is back", well as a Rejoiner it worried me somewhat. If Labour start to win seats again, but before we've had a chance to force them to see sense and back Rejoining the EU, then that will embolden Keir Starmer's insistence on completely ignoring what is going on all around us for everyone from farmers to musicians, logistics companies affecting prices in the shops to touring DJs, you and I buying goods from the EU to breweries. The list is endless.  'Project Fear' was just the tip of the iceberg compared to 'Project Reality'. We often post in groups on Facebook or on Twitter the almost daily stories of people being hurt because of Brexit, or entire sectors of industry or society.  Then we blame the 'deal' that was negotiated.  Then progress onto Boris Johnson, the tories, etc etc. Then we rightly p
