I really can't be arsed with all this, but do you really think your NI contributions were 'invested to pay your pension ?' What do you think paid for the NHS, Police, emergency services, public services, benefits, education and every other aspect of living in the UK when you were growing up ...

If only @Steve Foster/@Bognor Seagull/@This is me/@JC Footy Genius/@Wokeworrier had gone with such timeliness, honesty and integrity :laugh:

There's no doubt that Blair made mistakes and campaigning for this was one, but it was Parliament that voted on the war as that is what happens in a parliamentary democracy. Just to be completely clear, once again Labour 254 out of 410 voted for the invasion (61%) Conservatives 146 out of 166...

Thanks for the link. I see that one flew east along the South Coast, passing over Brighton at 10:00, Eastbourne half an hour later, and Hastings just before 11:00 on 23rd March, just a few weeks back. Most NSCers can't make it that quick on a Saturday :wink:

A very young Lewis :lolol:

You OK, hun ?

I've been scanning the skies around Brighton and Sussex in the hope of seeing one for the last couple of years but no luck yet. I did see a report that one of IOW ones had flown down the south downs as far as Dover and back if I remember rightly. Is there any sort of tracking available for the...

Yeah but what about people who are off on the sick :rolleyes:

Sky isn't quite so blue here :down: To Nigel :drink:

The last bathroom we had re-tiled, the tiler took one look and exclaimed 'You've bought porcelain f***ing tiles'. I think he was impressed :wink: There used to be a really good tile shop in Montefiore road in Hove but don't know if it's still there. Hope this helps.

Should be a cracker, I'm looking forward to it (better a nice summer evening than a cold winter night though, for everyone) :thumbsup:

The stat that you posted and @ROSM quoted was straight from 55 Tufton Street as I pointed out here :facepalm:

Just a quick question Have the Woke/lefties taken the same place as the EU in the immigrants/benefit scroungers/single parents/minorities/teachers,doctors,nurses blame circle or have they changed the order as well. Or is it just the ever increasing speed as this cabal heads into oblivion. I am...

Well that is a major part of the various shady organisations that reside in Tufton Street :shrug: I would sit down dwayne because I have some shocking news to break to you about the religion of the pope, where bears defecate and Dolly Parton's sleeping position :wink:

Well it was you that quoted some statistics here The source for this statistic ? (Which even you must understand would look VERY different without pensioners :facepalm:) https://www.civitas.org.uk/publications/an-analysis-of-the-effects-of-taxes-and-benefits-on-household-income/#:~:text=This...
