    if people know they are buying fake or counterfeit goods they do it because they can't afford the legit version of it and to make it out like they should or could afford to just stop buying fake or counterfeit goods is just stupid don't buy that fake nike hoodie for £15 just go to the charity shop and get yourself a used top as if that's what people would choose to do maybe companies should stop being so greedy expecting people to be able to pay £25 for a pair of shorts £90 for a pair of trainers £150 for a tracksuit or you get it from the market for £60 instead of over £250 you can't expect people to walk around in clothes that make them feel lesser then others cause that can have an impact on peoples self worth and effect there psychology its the reason schools have uniform to remove that stigma that people might face…to say that counterfeit is a completely bad thing is just wrong for some people its a very much needed life line to have the outward appearance that other people hold

    Untold legal and illegal immigration and now the complain about a parallel economy that they can't tax. These jokers who are in big business and finance are not intelligent but farcical. Remember the financial collapse of 2008 when the taxpayers had to bail out these idiots. They are all morons and should not be let anywhere near the policies of governance.

    Sell weed in the corner shop for a similar price to tobacco. End of problem. It's the middle classes who can't be bothered growing their own funding all of this. This is yet another unintended consequence of the immoral marijuana laws.

    Some times just can't resist the knocked off gear ! As paying 4 times as much for the same product is always pretty tempting! 🤭🤭🤭🤭

    Yet this is also one way to fight the globalist elite. Deny them your taxes by using cash wherever possible, off the books. The illicit economy is not always a bad thing.

    It would be the 4th largest economy. So,they can sell all that cheaply and still profit?

    So big business wanted all this illegal migration for cheap labour and now the inevitable happens they're complaining about loss of profits and the treasury complains about loss of revenue?? Cry me a river…

    Fucking block head for decades numb chuckers have pearl clutching about how we can't legalize prostitution and drugs then regulate them and tax them.

    Now they are up pearl clutching about the exploitation and money made.

    Prohibition more police more jail, what about the free market

Shabana Mahmood threatens to impose Trump-style sanctions on Eritrea in visa row

Published

on

By



Shabana Mahmood has threatened to block Eritrean visas in a row over the east African country’s migrant return rate.

The Home Secretary has said she would bring in restrictions on Asmara unless it takes back its criminals and illegal migrants, most of whom arrive on small boats.

Eritrean VIPs and diplomats have already been stripped of their fast-track visa access to the UK after the Eritrean government reneged on an agreement to take back migrants refused asylum or convicted of crimes in the UK.

Now, Ms Mahmood has gone one step further, saying she would block visas for all Eritreans if the country refused to accept the return of its nationals with no right to be in the UK.

Donald Trump launched a scathing attack on the International Criminal Courts (ICC) and the UN over “transgender mutilization of children”.

Speaking at the United Nations General Assembly in New York, the US President said: “It is equally unacceptable that, with all the genuine atrocities in the world, the UN’s top human rights officials spend their time criticising the United States for protecting our children from transgender mutilization and transgender insanity, and enforcing our immigration laws.”
