Political and general chat

Taxes optional but greatly appreciated

But it's just BANTZ innit and anyway he was younger then so it doesn't count and Bernard Manning said worse so stop being so WOKE and harking back to the PAST.

That'll definitely be the reaction from the MN Reform posse. What a hateful cesspit of a man he is.

The Spectator is doing just that

That the same Nigel Jones that stood as a UKIP MP?

I heard on the readio this morning that the government is launching a youth plan today, reviving youth services. Starting in Birmingham.

It's a not uncommon name - but Nigel H Jones writer and journalist incl for the Spectator stood as UKIP candidate for Eastbourne in 2015 so more than likely one of Farages mates reassuring us he's an okay run of the mill racist guy

He is very similar in age to Johnson and I am not sure that excuse was used for him with his watermelon smiles. The excuse his posse gave was 'journalism'.

Farage really is not old enough for the 'no one knew different' argument.

Farage is almost exactly a year younger than me. He’s definitely not old enough for that argument.

I’m 11 years older than him and I’m not old enough for it.

Leave the ECHR alone and stop attacking immigration Labour

Tighter visa rules will cost UK up to £10.8bn

Home Office assessment shows impact of latest changes to immigration regime over next five years

Even for those who got carried along with it, there has been plenty of growing up time in which to reflect and acknowledge the wrongness of it.

Quick American derail:

Who knew that a font could be ‘woke’?!!!!

What the eff is wrong with Badenoch re:masks? Asking people to consider wearing masks if they have a cold/flu is the smallest thing. Maybe it's effective, maybe it isn't but if there's a chance it might help, what's the harm.

She really is so entrenched. She could have just said nothing instead of blowing things out of all proportion and wanging on about "mask mandates".

(Sorry, but I am a bit worried about DH getting flu, or me getting it and being unable to look after him).

For those without Facebook, I think this neatly demolishes the Farage apologists argument that we were living in different times.

Very good post. It simply was not the norm to joke about the Holocaust and anyone who says it was is a liar. Remember the TV series in the late 70s? That had a massive impact.

Badenoch seems put out by Starmer and Reeves still being in their position.

And indeed masks.

Don't apologise.

I am all jabbed and sitting here quite cross about the staff members in their 40s and 50s off with avoidable flu.

I'm going to be working next week in a secondary school and I will be keeping social distance and will probably see pupils wearing masks. I've seen how flu can hit the young fast and experienced myself at the tender age of 8. It took months for me to recover fully and I was a healthy athletic child.

This flu is mainly hitting the youngest generation and post viral fatigue is high with this cohort.

It's our duty to be vaccinated if working with young children and people.

She's also started the Brexit reverse ferret. We are now at "the Tories were forced to deal with Brexit."

She needs to seek help with her memory issues.

Must have been a different Badenoch who said that the vote for Brexit was "the greatest ever vote of confidence in the project of the United Kingdom"
