@BenKentish Back in the 1980's I did a BTEC diploma 16-18 which gave me the grades to then do a Law degree. Vocational FE definitely helped me more than A levels would have done
@DAaronovitch@SophyRidgeSky Fair point. Its surely no accident that international support is changed to feed a domestic need. That bit is purely for domestic political consumption, and calculated.
@CalumDouglas1@eng_dad Lies is both unkind and not accurate. Answers to legal questions are about balance of evidence and risk assessment. Laws themselves are tools to find an answer, not usually an answer in themselves. Bit like governing a country I suspect.
@DAaronovitch@SophyRidgeSky From what I've read, the international finance will still happen, but as loans rather than outright transfers. Might be less attractive as a loan, but still there?
@alexmassie True, all workers pay the bill. It may be fair to work longer from that viewpoint. But are opportunities for younger workers less, if more careers are blocked by older workers? Should work place pensions be higher for younger cohorts to reduce state pension reliance in the future
@spectator Oh get over yourself. Why is Farage calling a by-election anyway, isn't that an obscene waste of people's time and public money? He's just trying to delay a parliamentary investigation and hopes everyone will forget about it come August.
@michaelwhite As its turned out, I'm personally looking forward to the by-election being Nige against that arch establishment figure, Count Binface. So much fun to be had!
@iainmartin1 Yes, definitely agree. Also if Farage is on a one on one with Count Binface, he will look mighty silly saying he is the anti-establishment candidate...
@JohnRentoul@richardpbacon Maybe the question should be what is best for the future and the world as it is now, not rehashing arguments from 10 years ago. That's what most people want I suspect (whatever it is)
