Shabs- can I just say thank you for keeping this thread going pretty much single handedly. I don’t ever/ often comment but suffice to say, I appreciate the news you bring us, no matter how deranged it is. These people want Gilead. I hope to **** their god, if he/ she/ it exists isn’t on the side of ...

I can’t say what I want to say here as it’s too close to home. My experience regards someone I have had to deal with professionally. Suffice to say, I don’t normally agree with Macca on these pages but on this one I do. And whilst you still won’t find me using phrases like Sends’ “the world’s gone m...

I don’t know if it’s still there but that was genuinely, word for word, a question on the application form to join the Met Police.

I think we can all agree that it’s great to see a government ensuring unused homes won’t go to waste …

When I first saw this latest Tory ad I first off checked that it wasn’t still the 1st April still. Then I assumed they’d been hacked by a cheeky scamp satirist. But no, this actually emerged from Tory Central Office … https://www.thenational.scot/news/24232583.tory-campaign-poster-uk-strength-mocked...

Yet another by- election incoming you'd have to assume? https://twitter.com/Steven_Swinford/status/1775952143108706620?t=T_W98QIhqlFpSquXZxJrWA&s=19 If ever a story captured the essence of the modern Tory party. Shaft (literally possibly, I dunno) your own colleagues and sell them down the rive...

Yeah, it was a fuck-wit question. But his reaction is the usual awkward, strangeness. So for me, what it reinforces is that he generally comes across as a bit (for want of a better word) weird. I think, that if he is still leader at the start of the GE campaign, then he's likely to come pretty crapl...

Personally, I think we're way past that point, and not just since October.

Secondly, an 'expert' (also on the BBC) claimed that wouldn't happen today as newer bridges are built so that the ground level rises as it approaches the bridge supports, thus effectively 'lifting' boats out of the sea if they get too close. That's interesting. I didn't know that. Ian Dury was spot...

Pinks had it right. We will never invent a bridge that would have a chance of withstanding such a weight coming at it.

The absolute state of those Tory ads. What are they thinking? I don't think these demented ads were really aimed at people in Brum or in town. More at the type of people who are perpetually on edge/ scared, to make them believe that if Labour get in then Tunbridge Wells and York will turn into Goth...

Watching it collapse was like something out of Thunderbirds...... It's not just me then. When watching the news with my wife I said to her it looked like a scene out of Thunderbirds - it just looked like a cheap, unbelievable special effect - it was just surreal. God bless those souls who didn't ma...

Is that about where those areas were historically? I take your point Sam, but that wasn't the point of my post which was a response to Juncs mentioning a Conservative mayoral candidate defecting to Reform. I was just showing it wasn't just him defecting but apparently a multitude of Tory voters too...

Dan Barker, the Conservative candidate for Mayor of Greater Manchester, has defected to Reform UK...more northern red-wallers likely to follow? According to the poll the article in yesterday's Times below refers to, red-wallers are now more likely to say they will vote for Reform than the Tories. A...

Sammy!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry doesn't cover it.

In 1995, they were informed it was going up to 65 from 60, gradually between 2010 and 2020. I'm absolutely blown away by the entitlement of this group. 25% of children are in absolute poverty and all they care about is that their retirement age changed. Sorry Prob, but you and I have no idea what a...

The law changed in 1995 you should have kept up with the details. It is basically I retired without checking when I'd get the state pension. Benefit scroungers.

Clueless.
