    [Politics] Tory meltdown finally arrived [was: incoming]...

    Insane that the supposed party of good governance and fiscal responsibility has descended in to a bar room brawl while completely ignoring the real needs of the UK public at a time of high inflation, ridiculously high energy bills and food shortages.... I hope the average Blue Rinse remembers...

    [Politics] Tory meltdown finally arrived [was: incoming]...

    You are precisely correct, 13 years of Tory government and I don't think I can find a single national issue that has improved under their watch. The party of " Business " has destroyed the lives and hopes of millions. they were handed a functioning NHS which has collapsed under their control...

    The government won't do anything for food security until vegetables get the vote.

    [Football] The Football Governance Bill

    I think that the government should start " regulating" its self before starting on football. Plenty of other things for them to sort out if only they had the brains.....thinking about it, wouldn't Johnson make an apt front man for a football club buy out.. ? " We will build a new 100,000 seat...

    [Politics] Tory meltdown finally arrived [was: incoming]...

    Labour would scare the floating voters away if it proposed something like this policy now. Starmer is moving cautiously towards the election. This is an election Labour must not lose otherwise we will slide even further in to anarchy and division. I'm hoping that Labour have many progressive...

    [Politics] Tory meltdown finally arrived [was: incoming]...

    I'm an old man now but for most of my life I thought that politics were superceded by a moral code of honour and decency. The last 5 years or so have shown how utterly corrupt the Tory Party have become. Game players on a massive scale, liars, charlatans and idiots whose only purpose is to...

    At least Sunak did not do the desperate " But HE sat next to Corbyn for 4 years !" Gambit.

    [News] Shemima Begum- Should she be allowed to return to the UK?

    Your last two sentences sum up my disquiet. We don't know how this 23 year old girl poses such great risk that she can't come back and face a trial...this sort of thing is very Russian, think Navalny, trumped up charges and hazy " evidence " . I'm quite sure that many more greater threats to...

    [TV] ITV and Endeavour.

    I'd like to think there is a happy ending for Fred Thursday. Several times across Endeavor he has come up against serious crime gangs and police corruption. Maybe he's a prime witness in a major police corruption trial and gets witness protection and a new life with Mrs Thursday far away. Morse...

    [News] Shemima Begum- Should she be allowed to return to the UK?

    Right, I could not remember what the offences were and which one of the two offenders it was so did not go in to too much detail. So my point stands, do your time, get supported rehabilitation ( monitored closely) and rebuild your life or, if you relapse, get banged up again....until such time...

    [News] Shemima Begum- Should she be allowed to return to the UK?

    I think that there should always be a penalty to pay if you have committed a crime but after that a road to redemption. The Bulger killers had their time in court and served their sentences. .one of them has had minor relapses and has been jailed again I believe while the other one has...

    [Drinking] Brewdog: hipsters”, “pretentious”, “wankers”, “********s” or simply "full of s**t"?

    I definitely remember it being a keg beer at the start of my serious drinking aged 17 in 1977...that coincided with the rise and almost complete takeover by keg beers. I fondly recall going in to boozers ordering up my fizzy keg beer or newly brewed under licence lager ( Hofmiester, Holstien...

    [Finance] Price Increases

    Dairy farmers have been slowly quiting for years, they have barely made any money so I think there is less to go round. Our supermarkets have crushed farm gate prices in order to ramp up their margins. Lots of despair amongst British farmers now.

    Worked that out years back, always put an item that needed weighing about every 10 items along the conveyor.. just buys you that catch up time.

    I recommend Lidl's Dijon mustard, but don't try the Aldi version, its watery muck.

    You can't easily grow Tomatoes and salad crops here in the UK at this time of the year without huge expense of heating the greenhouses...when part of the EU we could easily buy winter salad crops from southern Europe but now its a pain to import them thanks to the paperwork. Many of the fruit...
