This makes your views on Brexit, and in particular a no deal Brexit, much more difficult to comprehend, as in many people view, this will increase the number of your customers, and your existing customers will suffer the most.
THE BIGGEST CAUSE OF CRISIS ATM IS THE ABYSMALLY PLANNED UNIVERSAL CREDIT AND THE UNRESTRICTED MOVEMENT OF EU NATIONALS. "PLEASE DONT SCREAM RACIST BECAUSE IM NOT BUT AT LEAST 50% OF OUR FOODBANK CLIENTS ARE FROM EASTERN EUROPE WITH DOCUMENTATION AND THE RIGHT TO BE HERE. NOW WE HAVE A DUTY OF CARE TO THESE PEOPLE AND WE MUST SEE THAT THROUGH BUT THE ONLY WAY TO ADDRESS THE GULF IN THE WELFARE SYSTEM IS TO GET AS MUCH MONEY AS POSSIBLE INTO IT AND REDUCING THE NUMBERS THAT SUCH A SYSTEM HAS TO PROVIDE FOR. IMHO LEAVING THE EU AND RESTRICTING FREE TRAVEL IS THE ONLY WAY IN THE SHORT TO MEDIUM TERM OF ACHIEVING THESE GOALS.
There is no evidence that leaving the EU will reduce immigration. Only half out immigrants come from the EU.
Presumably you are aware that the UK has the right, under EU rules to send back any EU citizens that have been here for 3 months, and haven't found a job. You can hardly blame the EU, if our Government chooses not to implement this rule. Could you?
Liverpool's triumph over Spurs in the Champions League final features prominently on the front and back pages of Sunday's newspapers. The Sunday Telegraph and the Mail on Sunday both refer to the club's sixth European champions title with the headline: "Joy of six!"
In the Sunday Times, Donald Trump says Britain would do well to send Nigel Farage to negotiate with Brussels, and to pursue a no-deal Brexit if the EU does not give the UK what it wants. The president suggests the next prime minister should refuse to pay the £39bn Brexit divorce bill and "walk away" if Brussels does not bow to British demands. He also suggests it is not too late to follow his previous advice to "sue" the EU - to give Britain greater "ammunition" at the negotiating table. On Mr Farage, Mr Trump says he likes the Brexit Party leader "a lot", describing him as a "very smart person". Writing in the Observer, Labour Mayor of London Sadiq Khan, compares the language used by Mr Trump to rally his supporters to that of "the fascists of the 20th century". Mr Khan condemns the "red carpet treatment" being afforded to the president during his three-day stay, describing Mr Trump as an example of a growing global threat from the far right to "hard-won rights and freedoms". According to the online Independent, a protest against the state visit planned for central London on Tuesday could become one of the biggest demonstrations in British history. Coaches are reported to have been booked to bring in tens of thousands of people from at least fifteen cities around the country. Under a headline: "I will smash system just like Trump", the Sunday Express leads with what it calls a defiant message from Mr Farage ahead of Thursday's by-election in Peterborough. The Brexit Party leader is said to believe he can win the next general election by breaking the grip on power shared by the Conservatives and Labour. On the last weekend before Theresa May stands aside as Conservative leader, attention is devoted to the contest to succeed her. The Sunday Telegraph says Michael Gove has told Cabinet colleagues he is prepared to delay Brexit until late next year, rather than leave the EU without a deal at the end of October. The environment secretary is said to have warned that a no-deal exit this autumn risks triggering a general election that would put Jeremy Corbyn in Downing Street. The paper notes Mr Gove's position puts him at odds with other Brexiteer candidates for the leadership, including Boris Johnson. Both the Sunday Telegraph and the Mail on Sunday report Amber Rudd, the Work and Pensions Secretary, and other "one nation" Tories are considering giving their support to Mr Gove after talks with Mr Johnson stalled over his backing of a no-deal
One minister is quoted as telling the Sunday Telegraph Mr Gove would become the "compromise candidate" - because he was "capable and clear-eyed about the choices open to us". According to the Mail on Sunday, Mr Gove has won the backing of his fellow former education secretary, Nicky Morgan. But, writing in the same paper, the Chief Secretary to the Treasury, Liz Truss - who contemplated running herself - says she is backing Boris Johnson. She argues that, in a large field of candidates, only he has the "oomph" to take Britain out of the EU by October - and "unleash" its "talent". Away from the Brexit issue, another Tory leadership contender - the Home Secretary, Sajid Javid - tells the Daily Telegraph he is ready to consider scrapping the top rate of income tax - to inject more "dynamism" into the economy. And the Mail on Sunday's main story is what it calls a "chilling warning" from Security Minister Ben Wallace. In an interview with the paper, he speaks of MI5's spy network being stretched to breaking point by a barrage of new deadly threats. Mr Wallace says a combination of Russian aggression, Islamic extremism, neo-Nazi terrorism and organised crime have made the world a "very much more dangerous place" than when he took on the job three years ago. He says MI5 are currently running nearly 600 active operations and need more resources.

Bomb found under police officer's car at Belfast golf club ‘Our belief is that this attempted murder was carried out by violent dissident republicans,’ says Police Service of Northern Ireland
Do you really think that they value a bit of money, more than Single Market integrity?
THERE IS NO INTEGRITY IN THE SINGLE MARKET ITS AN INSTRUMENT TO CAJOLE, AND CONTROL. IT ONLY FAVOURS CERTAIN COUNTRIES.
You have misunderstood the meaning of single market integrity.
The integrity of the single market cannot be protected without borders checks between the EU, and non member countries.
The arguments are if you have a hard border in Ireland, you breach the Good Friday Agreement. If you have a border in the Irish Sea, you split up the Union. Brexiteers wanted to take back control.
How do you do that without borders?
How do you control immigration, when the citizens of the other 26 countries have the right to travel to Ireland, and then walk over the border unchecked into the UK?
The Single Market refers to the EU as one territory without any internal borders or other regulatory obstacles to the free movement of goods and services. A functioning Single Market stimulates competition and trade, improves efficiency, raises quality, and helps cut prices. The European Single Market is one of the EU’s greatest achievements. It has fuelled economic growth and made the everyday life of European businesses and consumers easier.
Single Market for Goods The EU Single Market accounts for 500 million consumers and 21 million small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The Commission’s main goal is to ensure the free movement of goods within the market, and to set high safety standards for consumers and the protection of the environment. Learn more about conformity assessment, market surveillance, legal metrology, the New Approach legislation, harmonised and non-harmonised sectors, and the international dimension in the Single Market for Goods section.
The Single Market Strategy The Single Market Strategy is the European Commission’s plan to unlock the full potential of the Single Market. The Single Market is at the heart of the European project, but its benefits do not always materialise because Single Market rules are not known or implemented, or they are undermined by other barriers. So the Commission has decided to give the Single Market a boost by improving mobility for service providers, ensuring that innovative business models can flourish, making it easier for retailers to do business across borders, and enhancing access to goods and services throughout the EU.
What do you think Liam Fox meant when he said "If the WTO is so good, then why would anyone do a trade deal?"
LETS BE HONEST ALL THE SINGLE MARKET IS IS A GIANT DISCOUNT CARD. IF YOU DONT HAVE ONE YOU CAN STILL SHOP YOU JUST HAVE TO SHOP SMARTER
That's gibberish you don't understand what he was saying.
If the Single Market was a giant discount card, then leaving and trading on WTO rules not only means you are cutting up your discount card into very small pieces and throwing away the discounts that are available to you. You are replacing it with a pay through the nose card.
WTO head says leaving EU would cost UK consumers £9bn a year
These WTO tariffs range from 32 per cent on wine, to 4.1 per cent on liquefied natural gas, with items like cars (9.8 per cent) and wheat products (12.8 per cent) somewhere in between. John Springford, an economist with the Centre for European Reform, the total cost of those tariffs would be large, ranging from a 2.2 per cent of GDP (£40 billion) to 9 per cent.
Nevertheless, it is generally recognised that, in order to access the Single Market, goods must comply with EU rules. Conformity is the way of overcoming the NTB. But what advocates of the WTO option have not realised is that there is more to it than that . Much more. Potential exporters not only have to ensure their goods conform, they must provide evidence of their so doing. This requires putting the goods through a recognised system of what is known as "conformity assessment".
We are at this point entering serious nerd territory. If your eyes are beginning to glaze over, all we can say is welcome to the world as it really is. It has taken years of mind-numbing, tedious study to understand this amount of detail, and either you know it, or you don't. If you don't, you are going to make serious mistakes. And that is just what the WTO Option advocates have done. In a moment we’ll see why their mistakes are not so much serious as catastrophic.
And, for all that, the fundamentals are quite simple. The point about the Single Market is that border checks have been eliminated. The common rules are monitored by relevant national authorities and there is mutual recognition of standards. Thus, if you so desire, you can load a truck with grommets in Glasgow and ship them all the way to Alexandroupoli on the Turkish border, with just the occasional document check.
But the moment we leave the EU, this stops. Your component manufacturer may still comply with exactly the same standards, but if the product requires independent testing , any testing houses and the regulatory agencies are no longer recognised. The consignment has no valid paperwork. And, without it, it must be subject to border checks, visual inspection and physical testing.
What that means in practice is that the customs inspector detains your shipment and takes samples to send to an approved testing house (one for the inspector, one for the office pool, one for the stevedores and one for the lab is often the case). Your container inspection is typically about £700 and detention costs about £80 a day for the ten days or so it will take to get your results back. Add the testing fee and you’re paying an extra £2,000 to deliver a container into the EU.
Apart from the costs, the delays are highly damaging. Many European industries have highly integrated supply chains, relying on components shipped from multiple countries right across Europe, working to a "just in time" regime. If even a small number of consignments are delayed, the whole system starts to snarl up.
Then, as European ports start having to deal with the unexpected burden of thousands of inspections, and a backlog of testing as a huge range of products sit at the ports awaiting results, the system will grind to a halt. It won't just slow down. It will stop. Trucks waiting to cross the Channel at Dover will be backed up the motorway all the way to London.
For animal products exported to the EU, the situation is even worse — if that is possible. Products from third countries (which is now the UK) are permitted entry only through Border Inspection Posts (BIPs). Only at these can they be inspected and, if necessary, detained for testing. But, for trade between the UK and EU member states, the capacity of BIP is entirely inadequate. Until more capacity has been provided, trade in these products stops dead — say goodbye to a £9 billion export trade.
If the way out of the country becomes blocked, very quickly the return route gets blocked and incoming trade from the EU starts suffering. In the UK, goods from the EU are no longer delivered. Trade slows. Manufacturers which depend on imported components start struggling and then have to close. And while the naysayers talk about losing three million jobs if we leave the EU, we are looking at twice that and more — seven or eight million jobs are at stake.
Anne Widdicombe on TV this morning saying science may be able to change peoples sex so we are not gay anymore. Anne thinks Homosexuality is a disease and an abnormality. That’s why Pride is still important and that’s why the LGBTQ community still have a fight #annewiddecombe
Former Tory MP Nick Boles, now an independent, tweeted: "If only science could produce an answer to the blight of poisonous bigotry that is Ann Widdecombe."
Her Labour colleague Jess Phillips added: "Yeah maybe science will pause trying to stop killer diseases, pandemics, climate crisis and changing face of work and robotics to try and solve something that isn't a problem. Maybe science could try and come up with a cure for bigotry, it would help the world."
"Anne thinks Homosexuality is a disease and an abnormality. That’s why Pride is still important and that’s why the LGBTQ community still have a fight."
She voted against equalising the age of consent at 16, against civil partnerships, and against the repeal of Section 28, the legal clause that prevented schools "promoting" homosexuality. In 2000 she told MPs she "rejected" the idea "that there is somehow equal validity between the homosexual lifestyle and marriage and family." Last year she was branded "homophobic" by drag star Courtney Act when they both appeared on Celebrity Big Brother. Her 2012 article blamed the "homosexual lobby" for "turning all its fire" on conversion therapy adding: "The unhappy homosexual should, according to gay activists, be denied any chance whatever to investigate any possibility of seeing if he can be helped to become heterosexual.
"It's my way or Huawei" is the Sun's front page headline as it predicts a clash between President Trump and Theresa May when he arrives in London. The paper says Mr Trump has issued a thinly-veiled threat that America could cut intelligence links with the UK if Britain lets the Chinese technology giant invest in its 5G network. The Daily Mail says two Conservative leadership candidates, Jeremy Hunt and Sajid Javid, have openly questioned Mrs May's plans to consider the firm for a technology infrastructure contract. Meanwhile, the Daily Mirror criticises the cost of Mr Trump's visit. It says this will be by far the most expensive state visit in British history, costing taxpayers an estimated £40m for security. It notes the operation to protect the president from thousands of protesters who are set to take to the streets in opposition has raised the total. The Police Federation says the visit will put enormous strain on an already over-stretched police service.
But the Financial Times rejects the criticism, arguing that Mr Trump deserves his days of pomp and pageantry. "State visits are designed to honour a country, not an individual," it says, "the clue is in the name".
Bed woes The Times and the Daily Mail say that Jean-Claude Juncker has complained that as president of the European Commission he does not have a stately home or a personal aircraft. Mr Juncker is said to be embarrassed that he doesn't have an official residence and has been living in a hotel apartment for the last five years. "I can't talk to official visitors sitting on my bed," he says. The front page of the Times says Michael Gove has been accused of handing the keys to Number 10 to Jeremy Corbyn by indicating that he would delay Brexit beyond October. It is thought to be because of his concerns about no-deal, but a rival campaign mockingly says Mr Gove's "great idea" seems to be to continue with Theresa May's failed plan. The Daily Mail reports that, despite what it calls Brexiteer fury about Mr Gove's stance on no-deal, he appears to be building momentum. An editorial in the Sun says no-deal is very much an option, and urges "each and every leadership candidate" to make clear how they would prepare for it.
The front runner for the job, Boris Johnson, uses his Daily Telegraph column to set out what the paper calls his first domestic policy proposal. He writes that he would spend at least £5,000 on every secondary school pupil to try to "level up" the education system, and end a funding gap between London and the rest of the country. The Daily Telegraph and the Times are among the papers to report that drinking up to 25 cups of coffee a day does not damage the heart.
Scientists from Queen Mary University of London have rejected previous studies suggesting too much caffeine causes arteries to stiffen, leading to heart attacks and strokes. Their study found that drinking five cups a day, and even up to 25, was no worse than drinking less than a cup a day.
Jeremy Corbyn is facing a mutiny from his party, according to the Daily Telegraph, following a direct challenge to his authority by senior Labour figures. Former Cabinet ministers including Charles Clarke and Bob Ainsworth are said to have "publicly dared Mr Corbyn to expel them", after they - like Alastair Campbell - admitted voting for other parties in the European elections. The former Home Office minister, Fiona Mactaggart, is quoted as saying "it is time for all of us to declare; I am Spartacus".
And if we are going to leave the EU, vital that we establish some sort of new trading arrangement. Exactly the sort of massive ego we need to massage going forward. Cousin lives in the US now has dual citizenship. Both her and her husband are staunch Repulicans. They dont like Trump the man but as a leader hes growing the economy, creating jobs, improving education and backing the smorgasboard of security vehicles DEA CIA FBI AFT HS etc. and they love him for that.
Brexit: NHS could be 'on the table' as part of US trade deal, ambassador says
Donald Trump's British envoy has sparked fury with claims that access to the NHS would be "on the table" in post-Brexit trade deal with the US. Woody Johnson, the US ambassador to the UK, said the "entire economy" would be included in transatlantic negotiations, which could include allowing American private firms to bid for NHS contracts.
In an interview ahead of Mr Trump's state visit, Mr Johnson said the US was already "looking at all the components of the deal and trying to get everything lined up so when the time comes we’re ready to go".
Asked if healthcare would be part of the deal, he told the BBC's Andrew Marr Show: "I think probably the entire economy, in a trade deal all things that are traded will be on the table."
Mr Johnson also said chlorinated chicken - which is permitted under American regulations but banned in the EU - was "completely safe".

Your component manufacturer may still comply with exactly the same standards, but if the product requires independent testing , any testing houses and the regulatory agencies are no longer recognised. The consignment has no valid paperwork. And, without it, it must be subject to border checks, visual inspection and physical testing.
What that means in practice is that the customs inspector detains your shipment and takes samples to send to an approved testing house (one for the inspector, one for the office pool, one for the stevedores and one for the lab is often the case). Your container inspection is typically about £700 and detention costs about £80 a day for the ten days or so it will take to get your results back. Add the testing fee and you’re paying an extra £2,000 to deliver a container into the EU.
Apart from the costs, the delays are highly damaging. Many European industries have highly integrated supply chains, relying on components shipped from multiple countries right across Europe, working to a "just in time" regime. If even a small number of consignments are delayed, the whole system starts to snarl up.
Then, as European ports start having to deal with the unexpected burden of thousands of inspections, and a backlog of testing as a huge range of products sit at the ports awaiting results, the system will grind to a halt. It won't just slow down. It will stop. Trucks waiting to cross the Channel at Dover will be backed up the motorway all the way to London.
For animal products exported to the EU, the situation is even worse — if that is possible. Products from third countries (which is now the UK) are permitted entry only through Border Inspection Posts (BIPs). Only at these can they be inspected and, if necessary, detained for testing. But, for trade between the UK and EU member states, the capacity of BIP is entirely inadequate. Until more capacity has been provided, trade in these products stops dead — say goodbye to a £9 billion export trade.
If the way out of the country becomes blocked, very quickly the return route gets blocked and incoming trade from the EU starts suffering. In the UK, goods from the EU are no longer delivered. Trade slows. Manufacturers which depend on imported components start struggling and then have to close. And while the naysayers talk about losing three million jobs if we leave the EU, we are looking at twice that and more — seven or eight million jobs are at stake.

Anne thinks Homosexuality is a disease and an abnormality.
That’s why Pride is still important and that’s why the LGBTQ community still have a fight #annewiddecombe
Former Tory MP Nick Boles, now an independent, tweeted: "If only science could produce an answer to the blight of poisonous bigotry that is Ann Widdecombe."
Her Labour colleague Jess Phillips added: "Yeah maybe science will pause trying to stop killer diseases, pandemics, climate crisis and changing face of work and robotics to try and solve something that isn't a problem. Maybe science could try and come up with a cure for bigotry, it would help the world."
"Anne thinks Homosexuality is a disease and an abnormality. That’s why Pride is still important and that’s why the LGBTQ community still have a fight."
She voted against equalising the age of consent at 16, against civil partnerships, and against the repeal of Section 28, the legal clause that prevented schools "promoting" homosexuality.
In 2000 she told MPs she "rejected" the idea "that there is somehow equal validity between the homosexual lifestyle and marriage and family."
Last year she was branded "homophobic" by drag star Courtney Act when they both appeared on Celebrity Big Brother.
Her 2012 article blamed the "homosexual lobby" for "turning all its fire" on conversion therapy adding: "The unhappy homosexual should, according to gay activists, be denied any chance whatever to investigate any possibility of seeing if he can be helped to become heterosexual.

"It's my way or Huawei" is the Sun's front page headline as it predicts a clash between President Trump and Theresa May when he arrives in London.
The paper says Mr Trump has issued a thinly-veiled threat that America could cut intelligence links with the UK if Britain lets the Chinese technology giant invest in its 5G network.
The Daily Mail says two Conservative leadership candidates, Jeremy Hunt and Sajid Javid, have openly questioned Mrs May's plans to consider the firm for a technology infrastructure contract.
Meanwhile, the Daily Mirror criticises the cost of Mr Trump's visit. It says this will be by far the most expensive state visit in British history, costing taxpayers an estimated £40m for security.
It notes the operation to protect the president from thousands of protesters who are set to take to the streets in opposition has raised the total.
The Police Federation says the visit will put enormous strain on an already over-stretched police service.
But the Financial Times rejects the criticism, arguing that Mr Trump deserves his days of pomp and pageantry.
"State visits are designed to honour a country, not an individual," it says, "the clue is in the name".
Bed woes
The Times and the Daily Mail say that Jean-Claude Juncker has complained that as president of the European Commission he does not have a stately home or a personal aircraft.
Mr Juncker is said to be embarrassed that he doesn't have an official residence and has been living in a hotel apartment for the last five years. "I can't talk to official visitors sitting on my bed," he says.
The front page of the Times says Michael Gove has been accused of handing the keys to Number 10 to Jeremy Corbyn by indicating that he would delay Brexit beyond October.
It is thought to be because of his concerns about no-deal, but a rival campaign mockingly says Mr Gove's "great idea" seems to be to continue with Theresa May's failed plan.
The Daily Mail reports that, despite what it calls Brexiteer fury about Mr Gove's stance on no-deal, he appears to be building momentum.
An editorial in the Sun says no-deal is very much an option, and urges "each and every leadership candidate" to make clear how they would prepare for it.
The front runner for the job, Boris Johnson, uses his Daily Telegraph column to set out what the paper calls his first domestic policy proposal.
He writes that he would spend at least £5,000 on every secondary school pupil to try to "level up" the education system, and end a funding gap between London and the rest of the country.
The Daily Telegraph and the Times are among the papers to report that drinking up to 25 cups of coffee a day does not damage the heart.
Scientists from Queen Mary University of London have rejected previous studies suggesting too much caffeine causes arteries to stiffen, leading to heart attacks and strokes.
Their study found that drinking five cups a day, and even up to 25, was no worse than drinking less than a cup a day.
Jeremy Corbyn is facing a mutiny from his party, according to the Daily Telegraph, following a direct challenge to his authority by senior Labour figures.
Former Cabinet ministers including Charles Clarke and Bob Ainsworth are said to have "publicly dared Mr Corbyn to expel them", after they - like Alastair Campbell - admitted voting for other parties in the European elections. The former Home Office minister, Fiona Mactaggart, is quoted as saying "it is time for all of us to declare; I am Spartacus".

And if we are going to leave the EU, vital that we establish some sort of new trading arrangement. Exactly the sort of massive ego we need to massage going forward.
Cousin lives in the US now has dual citizenship. Both her and her husband are staunch Repulicans. They dont like Trump the man but as a leader hes growing the economy, creating jobs, improving education and backing the smorgasboard of security vehicles DEA CIA FBI AFT HS etc. and they love him for that.
Brexit: NHS could be 'on the table' as part of US trade deal, ambassador says
Donald Trump's British envoy has sparked fury with claims that access to the NHS would be "on the table" in post-Brexit trade deal with the US.
Woody Johnson, the US ambassador to the UK, said the "entire economy" would be included in transatlantic negotiations, which could include allowing American private firms to bid for NHS contracts.
In an interview ahead of Mr Trump's state visit, Mr Johnson said the US was already "looking at all the components of the deal and trying to get everything lined up so when the time comes we’re ready to go".
Asked if healthcare would be part of the deal, he told the BBC's Andrew Marr Show: "I think probably the entire economy, in a trade deal all things that are traded will be on the table."
Mr Johnson also said chlorinated chicken - which is permitted under American regulations but banned in the EU - was "completely safe".

"All things are on the table". Er, no. All UK things are on the table. Only US sales will be on the table, not US purchases, and US contracts.
Any deal that Trump signs, wouldn't seem to be worth the paper it is written on.
He is very clear on his America First policy.
