Re: The Sunak Government 2022-

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-68682198 Only a matter of time before the Government will end up having to nationalise Thames Water at huge expense. I was told over 10 years ago from memory that Macquarie were doing the bare minimum whilst ripping the arse out of it. An Australian finance compa...

Re: Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeit

footage is sped up, but you can see there were more vehicles crossing. I think if traffic had been stopped on purpose they would have got the construction workers out of there. BBC feed while it was ongoing said the shipping company had issued a mayday and traffic had been stopped. I'm guessing it ...

Re: The Sunak Government 2022-

Meanwhile, back in the real world, the Conservative and Unionist party have managed to shuffle through roughly another trillion pounds of taxpayer and borrowed money in the past year. Can anyone see what on ? Seriously, where have they spent it ? Pensions, NHS, welfare 500bn Education, defence, int...

Re: The Sunak Government 2022-

Genesis of this exodus story was a while back.At least one of these announced it a few weeks ago. They both said they were leaving parliament before. Numbers I think about 90 mps in total mostly Tory. Feels very 2010 when there were 150+ snouts leaving troughs. Yeah I missed Leviticus, well you come...

Re: The Summer Transfer Thread 2024

Could be wrong but I beleive Mount was accumulated in the year ending 30th June 2023. Regardless of that the figure is well documented to be circa £100m Are they all quoting the speculation in the telegraph? The rereporting of their article usually fails to include this bit Chelsea have not comment...

It wasn't meant as a direct response more a broadening of the debate.

These are areas where labour has been king for ever. It was more a point about the shifting way people are being convinced to cast their vote.

Last summer's spending will only count for about 70m in ffp though. They made that on havertz and mount.

Its quite frankly bonkers for Chelsea to be spending before having sold anyone.

That would be in a different ffp period though wouldn't it?

Re: The Sunak Government 2022-

Is that about where those areas were historically? There is a false impression that lots of the red wall type areas are socialist strongholds. To a point that's true but it covers a deeper loyalty to hatred of things different. Old school labour got by with the bash the toffs rhetoric but it's not e...

Re: The Monarchy

My Dear Samuel , We had to issue a denial that the king had died last week. Last week the British Embassy in Ukraine was forced to deny rumours that the King had died after Kremlin-approved state media channels, some with millions of followers on social media, began spreading the fake news. The fir...
