Totally agree re changing signatories on ward or branch bank account it is a nightmare and you can guarantee that even if the local branch where you go to hand in and get the documentation checked before they send it to Head Office will have missed something and you will get the paper work back . The stupidity of all is that the last time we had to this when 1 of our 3 authorised signatories changed he started countersigning cheques before paperwork had been completed and none of the cheques bounced or were returned !!!!!!!
Only those organisations whom you have agreed to in the past will contact you to confirm your continued acceptance . You need not worry that you will be deluged with emails from all and sundry.
One of other real problems is that the email from the charity/ organisation asking that they may hold your data and continue to contact you is is likely to end up in spam or junk which could mean charities/organisations will lose real supporters. This nearly happened to me .
Re political Parties I have had an email from UKIP which I am a member of asking for me to agree they can continue to contact me but my husband who is a member of the Conservative Party hasn't received as far as he is aware. Odd!!
I totally agree about legalising and taxing drugs . However senior Police officers do NOT deserve our respect , two instances in the last week are symptomatic of their politically correct approach , their reaction to those who object to the glorification of the death of a vicious burglar by threatening them with arrest , a lady protested to the Police in Hyde Park that Muslims were using it to hold prayer sessions which is totally contrary to the law , the Police Sergeant present agreed but advised that his superior officer had told them not to intervene and therefore disregard the law.
No , we should never have got involved. The rebels are anti-west and all we have done is prolong a very nasty and vicious civil war . If we send in missiles or drop bombs all we will do is further prolong it, Assad is winning let him.
Sorry but I don't accept that we should attack Assad. His enemies are fundamentalist Islamist who strangely are the ones who are causing death and destruction throughout the world not just in Europe or the USA , talk to Filipinos , Christians in Indonesia , moderate Muslims in Pakistan etc Why on earth would we kick Assad out and allow who knows what sort of regime to take over. The record of western intervention in the Middle East has been one disaster after another . If anyone thinks that Iraq, Libya or Syria are better places now than before we interfered then just think back, secular Dictators are nasty but they are rational as they know that if they overstep the mark then there will be a coup , fundamentalists are irrational. What we should be doing is talk to Russia and agree how to comprehensively defeat the rebel fundamentalists and not to prolong this civil war for ever and a day as our present policy ensures .
and RT , I appreciate it is a propaganda channel but its news coverage is much less parochial and detailed than BBC
Fast declining market in share of world's total GDP and protectionist barriers against other markets , I prefer to have the ability to trade on our terms with the fast growing markets in the rest of the world.
A say in the future of Europe , since we have been in the EU we have never once been able to have our say , every time we have objected to any policy we have been outvoted.
The EU has never maintain peace and stability in Europe , NATO has the honour of achieving that. EU intervention has usually aggravated minor disputes into full out wars , classic examples Yugoslav civil war , Ukraine civil war , Georgian civil war. The EU's history in other conflicts has been disastrous e.g Libya, Syria .
I much prefer we make our own decisions
Frictionless trade between 28 countries but barriers to every other country What we are looking at is free trade with any country interested , no controls our side of the border with the Irish republic is a start.
Yes but they say the UK would still be subject to the usual penalties if it breaks EU rules during any transition period , in other words the end result is the same . The EU expects us to dance to their tune whilst having no choice on what the tune being played is.
