How come BBC can uncover illegal workers for the police to arrest? Why aren’t the police doing that?

Three arrests after BBC investigation into criminal network on High Street

Better off spending any cash in ISAs now, can't see any point in being the richest guy in the cemetery.

Not to mention that if its in a cash ISA its likely not anywhere near keeping up with inflation, so its buying power will probably be shrinking quite dramatically with each year that goes by.

CPI is 3.6%, cash ISAs paying over 4% are easy to find.

Some of my bill gets paid from the money I get back for complaining to them

There are 60 odd ex USAF KC-10's stored in the boneyard at Davis Monthan/Tuscon. They were only retired about a year ago. They've only ever been operated by the USAF, and were in service from 1979 ish. The last ones were built (tecnically funds were allocated) in 1987. The hours and cycles on these airframes will be well documented.

If I were NTSB I'd be asking the USAF if they wouldn't mind stripping the engines and pylons off a handful of them so they can inspect the parts that broke assuming the KC10 uses the same or similar parts.

Can't see them being any different tbh, the aircraft are fundamentally the same. The designers should have forseen the potential issue as the engines are mounted a fair distance forward of the main spar. To the point it's unusual.

Be interesting to see if the 737 Max will develop similar failures over time from mounting the engines forward and up from the original -300/800 design

Eon again.

Gas smart meter no communication from meter to them, made arrangements for them last month to sort or exchange the unit but no one turned up.

New appointment today for 8am to 10am  and yes no one turned up yet again.

Just on the phone making a 2nd complaint.

I had EON as my energy supplier a while back. Bloody useless shower of shit. Failed to send a bill for around 9 months, even after repeated requests and then when they finally did, demanded payment in full in 14 days.    Negotiated a payment time frame and when i'd paid it up, told 'em to fark off.

Not enough for defence. 2.6 % GDP so a soft budget. You got off lightly.

Weren”t NATO members supposed to up spending to a target of 5%, as per Trumpy?

We can't spend money on defence and take 500,000 children out of poverty. The wánker Starmer was getting all emotional about these children on the news at lunchtime. Playing to his back benchers again.

I saw it as well , that man makes me feel physically  sick he is  a coniving deceitful bastard.

I've just read that this 'mansion tax' is likely to raise £400million by 28/29. FFS, is it worth all the news inches for such a paltry amount? (In the context of government revenue)
It just smacks of labour trying to show that they're whacking the wealthy, for the benefit of a few dim back benchers.

From what I read it doesn't start till 2028 so it's giving them plenty of time to save up for their 1st payment or find a loophole to avoid paying it.

It's like the home tax's over the years though, it was based on the number of windows a house had, so people bricked them up on bigger houses, then it was based on the the number if radiators the house had.

The next one will be on the number of solor panels a house has, then how many cars you can park on your drive.

Basically they cant run the country within a budget so we have to pay for their errors.
