Good of you to support the community mate.

My shopping only cost 60 quid as well, God bless Asda rewards!

If you'd shopped in Rwanda you'd have got it done for 20 and paid an asylum seeker a week's wages. Shame on you.

The offer is open to you, pete, (that I made to roydo the other week), as to everyone else: Get down to the Kent Battle of Britain Museum on 12th or 13th August, tell them on the door that you're here to see the Scouser giving his talks, and I'll pay your admission fee. I'll also treat you to lunch at The Jackdaw in Denton - that pub featured in the 'Battle of Britain' film that came out in the late-1960s. And in my breaks, I'll show you round the museum and point out pertinent exhibits. But this offer is only for the first to do so. If a gang of you pile in, you'll financially cripple me!

Here's a pic of me giving a talk in a previous year. I give quite a few short talks each day (so as not to delay the customers too much, as there is so much for them to see) as the customers come through one of the exhibition halls.

I know. And the second photo was outdoors, but I did a diplomatic sidestep on that! Maybe a cigar for you after all...!

No naked flames around kerosene. Come on man,

I think so. I fail to see anyway it could have been better under Corbyn. A far-left government won't improve the economy or inflation.

The point I've been trying to make is you can't just blame local politics for global issues.

What was far left about Labour's manifesto under Corbyn?

The Tories got in in 2010 by blaming local politics for global issues and have spent the last 13 years doing it.

Well done to the Tory MPs who had the courage to vote and demonstrate their convictions.

How did your MP vote on the Boris Johnson privileges committee report?

MPs today voted to approve the Commons privileges committee’s report into Boris Johnson and Partygate. The report found he misled parliament about lockdown parties at Downing Street, but many Tory MPs did not vote

They are all scared of their electorate who regard Boris in far higher esteem. Like him (me) or loath him (you) but you have to admit he’s head and shoulders above any other U.K. politician and would be voted for even as an independent in any current Tory constituency…….

Stop lying Pete.

We've hired a coach. @JimmyJeffers and @Bohemian Toffee are coming over from Portugal and the Czech Republic respectively for it. Jimmy is Lactose intolerant, so might be worth tipping the pub off first.

Tbf, her opening paragraph put paid to any semblance of fairness or balance. She then goes on to describe how a Labour council is sacking 3/4 of the relevant staff, so obviously it’s the dastardly Tories to blame. She should have retired years ago and taken her bitterness with her……
