Look, it's clear from your posts that you aren't very bright, which isn't a problem of course. But the maximum number of BNP councillors in Burnley was 8 out of 45, which is some way short of a majority. They would have needed 23. A bit of background would be relevant here. Twenty years ago...

If Burnley beat Spurs, then I think I'll fly to Elland Road on the back of a pig to cheer your lot on. Tarkowski and Mee are both injured. Good luck, because Leeds losing the last two is our best hope!

I know. And it's time they realised what a waste of money that was.

What happened was since the 2021 elections. In the 2021 election, the Tories won 18 seats and the rest, 15. Since when 2 Tories were unable to continue to act and resigned, and one so-called Tory was unable to believe in his election "promises" and chose to become a Labour councillor without...

But increased spending doesn't seem to improve the quality of those services, does it. Government spending is now the highest proportion of GDP since the 1950's. Is it reflected in the most effective and efficient provision of services?

You charge more than Man City as well. :wink:

I think the reason his department was so efficient was because they don't answer the phone, don't open letters, and don't have an email address. If they won't provide a way of asking questions then they can't be accused of not answering them.

Also on local issues, the Conservatives regained control of Pendle council last Thursday, from no overall control, even though they were fighting seats last fought only a year ago after a full council election. Yes, local issues were involved, but it shows the Tories aren't sliding as much as...

They do tax big corporations. Maybe not as much as you would like, but BP for example paid or will pay £1bn in North Sea taxes this year. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-61304001#:~:text=BP%20says%20it%20expects%20to,for%20more%20than%2050%20years. The Civil Service union has been in the...

This has gone beyond mistake or stupidity, this is you being a liar. I did make any suggestions for people who work 12 hour days and have no money for food.

I've seen mine, and it's nowhere near £5k per year even though the central heating is permanently on (daytime, thermostat controlled) at 18 degrees.

But you said they're spending £5k per year of energy. Whatever they may be dying of, it isn't hypothermia.

1 in 6 deaths in the UK is caused by starvation? I think you might be misreading the report. What the report actually says is that 1 in 6 people is living in relative poverty, and that 1 in 6 deaths are of people living in relative poverty. I don't think it mentions starvation...

If you want an example of something that is easy to cook for people with few cooking skills, which is after all what I was trying to illustrate, then my chicken dinner is practical. I don't understand your obsession with people working 12 hour days? Are there no people who are unemployed and...

It was an answer to a suggestion that some people aren't capable of cooking, not that people don't have time. Besides, there are people on the breadline who don't work 12 hour days 7 days a week. If you can find a link to your imaginary quote where I tell people when they should cook this...

I'd be obliged if you would win on sunday, because I doubt our chances of winning at Spurs. Especially if both Mee and Tarkowski are injured. I think Leeds' defence is perfectly set up for Brighton to walk through them, so please take advantage!

Everyone who can heat a ready meal has the technical skill to cook a chicken. I did not suggest that it would be a meal for everyday - after all, even today we surely don't define poverty as "can't afford the Sunday roast every day of the week" - but even if it was, the roast chicken dinner...

Technically it's braised rather than roasted. But yes, we like it so it drops off the bone.

How to roast a chicken: Put it in an ovenproof dish, add 3/8ths of a pint of water, put it in the oven at 200 for half an hour followed by 150 for 2.5 hours. Boil potatoes by putting them in a pan with water and boiling them. Boil veg the same way. To say that some people are incapable of...

That report is nothing to do with covid bungs. That's a rant from someone who objects to the government placing adverts in newspapers telling people about covid. Although he opposes advertising in all the relevant newspapers, including the Daily Mail, the Sun, the Daily Mirror, and the...
