    And yet here you are, pontificating freely and wholly uncancelled :lolol:

    [News] Nigel Farage and Reform

    The frequency with which Farage has been invited to appear on QT rather undermines the Right's repeated claims about Left-wing bias at the BBC - although we know that honesty, logic or consistency are not qualities which are abundant among Right-wingers!

    [Misc] Have you put the heating on yet? (2024/25 edition)

    Yes, I think so because disappointing daytime temperatures were offset by night-time temps in the mid-teens. Just as we were all bemused by the recent Met Office report of a warm May, which only made sense when overnight temperatures were factored in.

    Never heard of him until 2 days ago, but I'm already getting excited about him becoming our new manager!

    [Misc] Have you put the heating on yet? (2024/25 edition)

    Although last year, a glorious June was followed by a cool washout July and August.

    [Misc] Have you put the heating on yet? (2024/25 edition)

    It was great to experience 25 Celcius earlier this week for the first time this year ... in Stockholm on a Baltic Cruise 👍

    I'm surprised they're not blaming Labour, like they do for almost everything else!

    [News] Nigel Farage and Reform

    "Stop the boats. Er curb immigration. Um, keep foreigners out. Ah, control who we let in." "What other policies do you have, Mr Farage. For example, on employers who pay poverty wages, slum landlords, endemic job insecurity, record levels of inequality, crumbling public services...?" "Stop...

    [News] Nigel Farage and Reform

    How often do you see Left-wing or Liberal opinions expressed or promoted in the Daily Mail, Daily Express, Daily Telegraph, The Times, or The Sun or on GBNews. Right-wing opinions - however inaccurate or ill-informed - are loudly trumpeted in all of the above media; it Is other opinions which...

    [News] Nigel Farage and Reform

    Reform UK are simply an even more Right-wing version of the Conservative Party, who offer more of the policies we've suffered over the last few decades but applied even more ruthlessly. The idea that Farage and Reform genuinely care about poverty wages, reliance on Food Banks, homelessness...

    [News] Nigel Farage and Reform

    Farage had appeared on BBC^s Question Time regularly over the last decade, far more often than most other public figures And the supposedly anti-Cancel Culture free-speech-loving Tories are the ones who last year enacted legislation to curb peaceful protests, while constantly denouncing human...

    [News] Should we Bring Back National Service? Sunak says YES.

    Basically an updated version of the YTS (Youth Training Schemes) that the Tories invented in the 1980s to reduce the official unemployment figures.

    [News] Should we Bring Back National Service? Sunak says YES.

    And who know that its cruel and punitive policies will only be applied to sections of society they don't like or approve of.

    [News] Should we Bring Back National Service? Sunak says YES.

    I have no great hopes or expectations of a Starmer government, but I am quietly confident that whatever it does (or does not do), it will not be 1% as awful, corrupt, deliberately-divisive, and vindictive as the self-serving, asset-stripping, fuckwittery and endless insults to our intelligence...

    [News] Should we Bring Back National Service? Sunak says YES.

    Yes, something practical and community-based, possibly. What I've never understood, though, is argument that "the army teaches discipline and respect." I suspect that any army-barracks town at closing-time on a Saturday night, full of macho pissed-up, off-duty squaddies would soon disprove...

    [News] Should we Bring Back National Service? Sunak says YES.

    I suspect it will be a politically popular option for many older, authoritarian, working-class, voters, who despise liberalism and young people, and think that almost any social problem can/will be solved by either sending more people to prison, putting all youngsters in the army, or stopping...
