Subject: RE: BS: Brexit & other UK political topics
Anyway - back to politics. where do we start?

(1) Proposals to use the military to push back people seeking safety and asylum?
(2) Progress of government legislation of proposals for suppressing thousands of votes in order to prevent 2 or 3 fraudulent votes when the whole idea of enfranchisement is to encourage rather than discourage people from voting?
(3) Defeat in the House of Lords of the controversial policing bill?
(4) Johnson today stating that he was not clear what the rules he passed as Prime Minister meant in terms of holding parties while thousand of people faced restrictions on who can attend funerals - with reference to the parents who had to socially distance while attending their child's funeral.
(5)The price of milk (2 pints) goin up from 80p to 95p - 18.75% and how much of this is due to loss of EU farm subsidies?
(6) Raising of the energy cap by about 40%?

That's all I can think of for this week.
