Political and general chat

Taxes optional but greatly appreciated

That implies that the media would print stories about it.

NO sign of it in The Times. Plenty of space to print stories about private schools however.

He already got his return from Farage lobbying and promoting *rypto, attacking the BoE etc.

Harborne has already had something - the same month the donation came in Farage promoted the currency Harbourne is an investor in.
Nobody thinks Harborne is doing it out of the goodness of his heart.

Same as when he bunged Johnson a million and then went to Ukraine. its not a coincidence that Harborne has defence investments.

Interesting that the online safety act is powerless against this filth.

Hardly an advert for private pensions.

(Don't worry, we're paying for this).

Just posted as Yet Another Example of the taxpayer subbing up clearly crooked business owners who then disappear from view with no penalty.

Yes, and thanks for the reminder not to use the full word.

Whitty was talking about something similar yesterday. Not vaccines per se but it explains why the vaccine would reduce the risk.

I think heat waves and cold snaps do the same hence the heat warnings that people like to complain about that really are meant for hospital planning.

Well it will be funnier than Mrs Brown's Boys that's a certainty.

People moaning about weather warnings which are intended for public authorities/planners REALLY irritates me. Generally they also have the cheek to complain about people not using their common sense.

Well, she shouldn't have got us into a deep state to start with.

This is excellent news.

I've noticed an intersection between men people who need a change of clothes after watching a war documentary about things like Operation Dynamo, or The D-Day landings Operation Overlord (with Sword, Omaha, Juno, Gold and Utah) and people who fume over the naming of storms.

It's quite obvious that Dicky is being thrown under the bus. But still there's the obvious connections to Putin and Russia. Vile and disgraceful.

9 year old being bullied like that by a 17 year old

It doesn't surprise me at all. Sadly 😔

Or me. I see the number of testimonials is now up to 28. 😔

That is really brave of him to step up. What a nasty little shit Farage was and is.

Or me. I see the number of testimonials is now up to 28. 😔

So more than 52% then ?

Another Tory defection and now Reform's first HoL member, Lord Malcolm Offord

It's very easy to run your mouth off when you never have to stand for election.

Yep. Deep pockets though! And links to climate change deniers.

I've lost count now of the number of Tories who have deflected to Reform. Still awaiting the collective MSM headlines on this.

Not sure where Brenda from Bristol is now, but it's always good to quote 'Not another one?'

None of the under 30s I know believes that climate change is anything other than a thing that is happening. Being me, I'd like to think it's similar to 1950s teenagers totally accepting rock and roll is here to stay, rather than their parents who believe that it will be :
