Was it ever labours plan to ban zero hour contracts outright? The Times (March 28)

Wrong thread…

Spot on. I haven't voted in an election in any other way for 27 years.

Unfortunately I can't find one. The end card had limited seating in the upper deck, but the whole lower section was used as space for traction equipment. They could, but it would limit the options. If someone comes up with a workable concept that meets the requirements, SBB would be happy with...

The last tenders did not allow any locomotive-hauled trains to be offered, but for technical and not operational reasons. Twindexx and Giruno due to the limited axle loads, the 60 Stadler IRD were from an option of a former contract to have a compatible fleet. However, the next replacement will...

The advantages of multiple units and locomotive-hauled trains differ depending on the area of application. In terms of cost, for example, a locomotive-hauled double-decker push-pull train with a capacity of more than 4-6 carriages is the most favourable option for long-distance services in...

It's quite simple. There is no law that forces a refugee to apply for asylum in a particular country. If there were, there would be less discussion. I'm not going to waste my time trying to prove a negative either. If you have evidence: Share it. But the current practice has also been deemed...

I don't understand this whole obsession with borders. Schengen does not mean that there are no more controls. Schengen means that the external borders will be better protected and that cooperation between police authorities within the Schengen area are strengthened and there are more powers to...

A lot about article 30/31 it is explained here: Safe countries only?

As EU citizens, all nationals of the Member States of the European Union have the right to move freely within the European Union and to enter and reside in any EU Member State

Just apply the "Guidance on civil servants receiving gifts or hospitality". Can't be that hard if it's done for years in many other parts of the government and many private companies. I couldn't accept anything worth over 25£ a year from a customer.

I don't live in the EU, but we have a very strict system when it comes to registering your place of residence. It sounds like a chore at the beginning, but once you registered your adress, everything else becomes so much easier. All your tax documents are delivered automatically, your voting...

Of course it doesn't hold water, the whole premise that the Rwanda plan is supposed to be a deterrent in any way is utter nonsense. But it is not what he said anyway:

Who said it would? It largely seemed to have escaped notice that it was the UK’s membership of the EU and consequent participation in EU-wide migration governance mechanisms that prevented the Mediterranean ‘refugee crisis’ from becoming a British ‘border crisis’.

It's a concept called "reality".

Maybe they were worried, the french would sell the housing built with this good british money to the locals. Oh, wait a minute... Or maybe it just wasn't cruel enough for the people,they want to appeal to.

After 60 years of service, it's time to retire. Slowly but surely, the time of the BLS Re425 “Bruneli” (“Brownie”) is ending. A short film shows once again the inner workings and function of the locomotive. Interesting also for me, who grew up on the “competition”, the SBB Re420. Despite the...

The whole point of the offshore policy ist being not reponsible. It is much easier to point a Rwanda and shrug the shoulders when things turn nasty than being responsible for what actually happens. It's just a bit insincere to run the asylum system into the ground, not processing applications...

Why is it then, that the Home Office tries to cover the cost of the Rwanda Scheme? And why is the PM officially advertising the plans with alleged cost savings when there are none? Could it be that it's all about distracting from one's own failures to keep the system working?
