Have you inadvertently replied to the wrong post? I made no comment about the arts! It is the gender studies, black oppression studies, white privilege studies/guilt and the rewriting of history, etc. to which I refer.

Taxpayer funding for anti-British propaganda and general mumbo-jumbo.

Spot on!

10 years for telling lies on a form in order to get into the country easily and seamlessly does seem a bit harsh when you compare it to the acts of ‘piracy’ committed by the illegal immigrants on a ship off the IoW last year in order to get into the UK. The ‘Criminal Protection Service’ decided to take no action against them and they have now applied for asylum from the comfort of their free accommodation. But of course, they have the support of the self-indulgent, low life, activist lawyers involved in the so-called human rights industry and supported by their old fashioned, Luddite trade unions.

Such actions on a ship on the high seas would in the past have resulted in the participants being hanged from the yard arm. That helped to keep the prison population down, Mr. Gauke😊

As stated, penalising one type of retailer and giving another a leg up is bad idea because it simply shifts the opportunity to avoid paying taxation from one area to another and invites trade retaliation from the governments where the on-line businesses are located.

Why not replace Corporation Tax and Business Rates with sales tax or taxes across the board, collected via the VAT system. Every retailer (every output) then pays it regardless of where their ‘profit center’ is located.

Dowden at 37.7% despite being the front man for the disgraceful and cowardly u-turn regarding the decriminalization of the BBC licence fee.

I am not sure what you mean by "An economic counterpart" but other than that caveat I agree with all of your reply. However, the protectionist EU joining such a free trade zone is pure fantasy. French farming competing with the rest - never going to happen.

In which case we need to distance ourselves from the EU as quickly as possible and sign up to trade deals with the US covering as much as possible. I will be interested to see how you intend to promote that inescapable conclusion of your last sentence😊

“We are signed up to be vaporized on each other’s behalf.”

More half-truths and spin from an EU apologist. The members of NATO are signed up to prevent that and it has been very successful in achieving that. Despite the fact that most of your beloved EU countries have been freeloading for years by not allocating their 2% share of GDP to their defence budget. Yet more double standards and hypocrisy from the EU.

Thus; Vaccine spat – situation normal. EU trying to cover up and deny their inherent, lumbering inefficiency.

The point that you seem to be unable to grasp is that if you Remoaners had your way, that is the position we would be in and if we were foolish enough to rejoin any time soon, we would be obliged to endure that and much more which would be to the EU's advantage and our disadvantage. Covid will pass eventually but something, as yet unknown, will occur and we need to be flexible and nimble, not part of a failing bureaucracy.

And re-join their covid vaccine scheme as well? That would also be really helpful but only to the hard of thinking!
