Lol. You think many English buy those? Lots are just safety deposit boxes. If you drive down Bishops Avenue, the most expensive street in the UK, you'll notice that much of it is a building site. What they do is build a new house, sell it to a foreign Saudi, Russian Oligarch, whoever of that ilk. They then never live in it and it goes to rack and ruin 20/30 years later, by which time it is sold at a considerable profit despite being a wreck, demolish, build new, sell off, rinse and repeat.

See, Within the M25 ring it is a totally different world. :oops:

Northern Ireland Agriculture Minister Edwin Poots has been elected leader of the Democratic Unionist Party. Anyone know anything about him or is he just another DUP Bigot?

More of a hardliner apparently, which is probably good news for BJ and bad news for Dublin/Brussels.

Really? After he dumped them once he got his majority.

Thank you, Tony, for your kind assistance. Very helpful of you.
So the Tories claimed 22% of the electoral vote.
Hmmm. i guess they are very popular in Hartlepool. ... :ROFLMAO:
More popular than all the others who stood.

As I’ve suggested before there is huge pressure on Brussels/Dublin to find a pragmatic solution to the NIP issues.
Talking of pragmatism Tom Newton-Dunn was reporting a week or so ago that BJ was preparing to accept some kind of dynamic alignment with the EU on agri-foods, a big bone of contention apparently at the border.

You have to admit Johnson has some making up to do with NI, Be nice if he could bang the NI politicians heads together and get Stormont working again which would be beneficial to the people of NI as a whole.

If forcing the legalisation of abortion and gay marriage on them didn't work I'm not sure anything will.

Dynamic alignment on agri-foods and sanitary and phytosanitary standards would solve a lot of problems, not only in NI but with the rest of the UK and EU.

However...
