Political and general discussion with bonus recipes

Taxes optional but greatly appreciated

The Russians are off the Welsh coast it seems, talking to their Reform chums.

It’s the de facto public school attitude. You can say anything and the other person has to suck it up for bants

Nation is ‘far left’ now? When was that announced?
It can be (nicely) pro Indy but far left? One of the more right wing students I ever taught writes for them…

Bantz, innit.

Farage doesn’t handle pushback well at all - and seems he can never, ever have been wrong, or have ‘misspoken’ - seems to model himself on Trump really. But all politicians are, and should be challenged, about time it was done a bit more to this awful male.
When I see Seig Heils on my marching hobby I’ve been told it’s to imply our side are Nazis - it’s really not, they’ll do it anyway and enjoy it. I can only assume they never understood WW2 at all.
Those shirts are grotesque- I’d have thought they’d do a red/white or red/white/blue to show the colours - I’d have found that repulsive but the black - no words 😞
There was a Mosley wannabe at the Tenconi meander, well probably many more but one was dressed up that way - the things some aspire to are baffling and sickening.

I fear tomorrow will bring much benefit bashing.

I have just hidden a yet another thread on Motability. People just wilfully misunderstanding the whole thing. Half of the critics can't even call it by its right name and don't understand that it is nothing to do with DWP.

I saw that one earlier, no nice things for disabled people.

Reeves is being attacked again as well, just misogynistic banter I guess.

Failures by Tory ministers and welfare officials led to carer’s allowance crisis, review finds
Unpaid carers were pushed into debt and distress and hundreds of millions of pounds of taxpayers’ money wasted

I started reading that thread earlier but I felt the urge to just type FUCK OFF YOU UNPLEASANT FUCKERS on repeat so thought it best to step away.

And this has happened to people whose hands are already quite full.

I made the mistake reading the Farage's racism thread

Oh yes, bonkers. Has 'but TRAs' become the new 'but Corbyn'? (although he does indeed get a mention along with humourless Starmer, so dull he doesn't laugh at racist bantz.)

My Dad is an 85 year old public school boy (so 24 years old than the apparently 'old' Nigel) who no doubt got up to japes but I have never heard him utter an intolerant word in his life.

Most people apparently get more intolerant as they age so the mind boggles as to exactly how racist Farage actually is.

TRA, alongside don't trust the BBC and Christian nation comments.

There is a theme developing.

Wouldn't it be lovely if mnet had a feature like xs new where in the world are you.

Our mate Phil on the black shirt badge

I unhid it for a while. Mistake. Hidden again.

If only there was a simple answer 😉

Ooh. I just received the Wales Needs Reform letter. Posting straight back to them with a few notes.

The Motability shows some people can't even do basic arithmetic.

Yes, it rather did get a bit tasty. I think it's best I stay off it too.

That thread has a lint problem that people can't help but give too much attention.

Yes, the RR's one I returned to on my lunch break and they were still gassing on about her tears and some alluded to her exhibiting unacceptable levels of hysteria, that needed to be corrected by the 'men' before a bloody woman fkd the economy!

Tomorrow will be ugly, I think. If RR pulls off a budget which reassures backbenchers and the markets, there will be much disappointment. Either way, there will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

Yes, it is Budget eve for some, such is the excitement over the anticipated problems!

This budget seems to have been more drawn out than the Oasis reunion.
