Richard....forget the "right wing" cliche.
I'm probably more of a socialist radical than you are, but we have to be realistic and i don't like many of the things that are happening through adherance to human right/ health and safety/anti/discrimination legislation from the EU.
Typical example, people can no longer afford to maintain their property. An elderly lady got an estimate from a large building firm to replace some lead flashings...Over £10000.....She called me and I did the job for under £1000 using ladders and a lifetime of experience instead of full scaffolding and a team of "hauders on"
My job has always entailed a degree of risk, I have seen guys killed by falling 6ft(which would not be covered by H/S)
Its like life itself....personal responsibility is required, safety has to be learned.



Ian says that Micheal Foot (whom I admire), lived in La La Land but Foot knew what was positive and what was destructive politically and economically.
Selfishly, we allowed ourselves to be bought by Global Capitalism and the housing boom....now our children and grandchildren are destined to suffer....probably three generations written off!

The racists are those who encouraged mass immigration...."as a means of making ourselves competitive in the Global Economy"

Never forget these words....or who said them!
