They have a hard left government, which wants to take Scotland out of the UK. Which company wants to deal with that? Furthermore, income tax in Scotland is now higher than in the rest of the UK. Did I mention they have a hard left government?

JA, it’s a shame that Conservative politicians who are Brexiteers are not sharp enough when the ‘chlorinated chicken bogey-man’ is raised by the BBC that they do not immediately observe that it was in the EU recently that chicken farms had to be shut down and cross border trade stopped because of diseased chickens in the Netherlands.

But alot of people outside of our pleasant shores believe the BBC without question. It’s their only news source.

Well, I finally found another answer to the Greta Thunberg adventure on board the good ship Malizia..
“Malizia carries an emergency combustion engine on board in accordance with the IMOCA Class Rule 2019 V.1.1, number C.6.1 (a): “A motor […] shall be permanently installed, permanently attached to the boat and not moved”. This is a safety measure prescribed by the International Monohull Open Class Association (IMOCA). During the normal season we use the engine only to a minimum extent, namely, to safely approach and leave the dock and marinas.”
Although they promise not to use it…

BBC staff pick up 20% pay rises while over-75s lose free licences
Hundreds of BBC employees have been handed 20 per cent pay rises, just as the corporation plans to strip free TV licences from millions of viewers aged over 75.
Figures obtained by The Times show that 889 BBC staff received pay increases equivalent to between 10 and 20 per cent of their salaries last year. An additional 256 employees were given more than 20 per cent.
Across both groups the average rise was £6,980, costing licence fee payers an additional £7.9 million. This would have been enough to maintain free TV licences for 51,000 pensioners.
Age campaigners said that the BBC’s generosity to its own staff was “sickening” at a time when over-75s on modest incomes were struggling to set aside the £3 a week they would need to continue watching television.
The pay figures relate to the 19,000 staff employed by the corporation’s main public service arm and do not include any rises given to employees at its commercial wing, BBC Studios. They also exclude the swelling bill for on-air talent, who are paid through a separate system. Spending on presenters and actors earning more than £150,000 rose from £19.8 million to £21.8 million last year, according to the most recent BBC “rich list”.
The corporation defended the pay rises, saying that staff had earned them for a number of reasons. Some employees had been rewarded for taking promotions or extra responsibilities, while others benefited from the regrading of their roles as part of a new simplified pay framework.
The salary boosts are controversial at a time when the BBC insists it cannot afford the cost of funding universal free TV licences for over-75s. In June the corporation announced that the benefit would be means tested from next year, effectively forcing up to 3.75 million pensioners to start paying £154.40 a year or face prosecution.
The BBC was forced to take responsibility for the concession from the government but claimed that the £750 million annual cost was unsustainable. Means testing reduces this bill to £250 million, while protecting the poorest over-75s on pension credit.
However, the BBC’s own research acknowledged that scrapping universal free licences would have a disproportionate impact on women, the disabled and dementia sufferers.
Jan Shortt, general secretary of the National Pensioners Convention (NPC), said the pay rises were “completely and utterly” unacceptable. “It’s sickening that they would consider giving these rises at a time when they are claiming they don’t have the money to fund over-75s’ licences,” she said.
The BBC has repeatedly stressed that restricting talent and staff pay would not generate the sums required to continue providing all over-75s with free licences. Maintaining the subsidy in its present form would have required the closure of BBC Two, BBC Four and several radio stations.
A BBC spokesman said: “While there are strict rules around any pay increases it’s only right that when people are promoted or take on extra responsibilities it’s reflected in their salary. Just as at any organisation, there will be a number of cases where people are promoted to a significantly more senior or prominent role or take on a wide range of extra responsibilities.”
The new system will retain free TV licences for over-75s who claim pension credit, but campaigners fear that the strict means testing will push pensioners whose incomes are just above the threshold into poverty.
The NPC is urging concerned citizens of all ages to write to the prime minister urging the government to take back responsibility for funding the benefit. More than 630,000 people have signed a petition demanding the cuts are scrapped.
Last month the Office for Budget Responsibility warned that the BBC’s means testing would cost the Treasury £850 million a year, as more over-75s apply for pension credit to secure a free licence. About 40 per cent of those who are eligible do not claim, missing out on an average of £65 a week.
