Why you should be setting sail on an ocean cruise this yearFar from being stress free, just getting to the port involves inevitable traffic jams, or you have to lug your luggage to a coach. Alternatively we have to lug the luggage to our airport to join stressful queues to fly to Southampton. Once on the ship and between long sea days, you find that the expensive excursions give you only an ephemeral view of the country you are flitting through. Fly cruise suits us better as you get straight on with cruising rather than two days at sea from U.K. Before you get anywhere. We have tried several cruises and despite enjoying American based ships most, have decided that "stay and explore" or touring holidays give us a far better insight to the country or region visited. On top of that there are none of the stuffy formal evenings you get, especially on British based ships.. Our view only, cruising is not for all.ViewDate:

Do you think we’re facing chaos now we’re leaving the EU?Quote "Can we stop with this narrow NHS/immigration navel gazing." Was that not the focus of Brexit? It's almost the only thing we heard from them. It was only for that reason I mentioned it - certainly not "navel gazing" as most of us saw straight through this narrow minded approach.ViewDate:

Do you think we’re facing chaos now we’re leaving the EU?It's a pity that the Cameron RemaIN campaign relied on scaremongering to the extent people thought Brexit success would be something the Cameron clan was afraid of and therefore must be good enough for people to vote for. Unfortunately Brexit covered up its lack of plans by hiding behind NHS expenditure and immigration. The only people to gain are the stick and currency brokers as they take profits out of an uncertain situation created mainly by themselves.ViewDate:

Which party do you trust to manage your pensioner benefits over the next 5 years?There is no tax on income below £10600 per person. For a private pension to be taxed there must be income above that amount. I am not sure what "has been pushed out by the government ", certainly not the state pension which is protected by the "triple lock" for at least the next 5 years. Our politics are obviously poles apart, so let's just agree to differ?ViewDate:

General election 2015 - NHS, Health and care party policies.In my view, Politicians have put the NHS where it is today. None of them have reduced over management to a level that allows serious expenditure on front line servicesViewDate:

Which party do you trust to manage your pensioner benefits over the next 5 years?Of course it is opinion. As long as we respect each other's opinions there is no problem.ViewDate:

Which party do you trust to manage your pensioner benefits over the next 5 years?Wrong - there is no tax to pay on a basic state pension, nor on the next few thousand pounds of private pension. NI contributions are part of income tax these days, used as tax rises by Gordon Brown to get round his promise of not raising income tax.ViewDate:

Is Chris Evans a suitable replacement presenter for Top Gear?We need another buffoon to present Top Gear. Chris Evans is just an irritating idiot, so not suitable. Try guest presenters like they have on HIGNFY until the public finds one they enjoy. -
