Fabulous 😊

I other news, Grimey being less than honest? Nah.

Absolutely. Although I suspect it’s probably not as easy as we think it should be.

unfortunately I suspect you are absolutely right, it’s makes me so cross water/transport/utilities should never ever have been privatised along with umpteen other services that have been outsourced to no one’s benefit apart from shareholders I could rant for hours, Thatcher made us the spivs of Europe selling off the family silver.

You and I should get together over a bottle of wine. We’d have a great time - I could have written your post - and probably have in the past.

I'll join in too.
Selling off GB's utilities and transport infrastruture was my mind the most damaging legacy of Thatcher's Government - and bloody Blair just carried on with it.

I'd like an invite too, please!

The invitation is open. Seriously I’d absolutely love to meet you all if we could manage to sort the logistics out. Most heard phrase “And another thing …”!

There might be an element of this:

Would be fabulous, you’ve no idea how many of you keep me reasonably sane💐

Well this loony leftie has spent a big part of today in the Bergen-Belsen Gedenkstatte. I would suggest those cheering on Farage and his fucking work camps pay a visit.

I agree with Rayner that Labour need to be bolder with their agenda. Renationalising utilities would be a good start (but very expensive). Perhaps they could do what they did to stop the Truss budget from screwing over the country to pay for it, or is that only to be used to help rich people stay rich.

Can I come too?

There’d definitely be an element of that. All of us not talking about politics - as if!

😂😂😂

Me three!

If you’re all serious, should we try to arrange it? I could do with the distraction at the moment. I’m sitting in Addenbrookes, my bloke’s cancer is back.

Mine's a large 🍷

@BIossomtoes fingers crossed for you both

Oh @BIossomtoes I’m sorry to hear that.
I’m always game to go places and meet people especially if there’s an excuse for a drink or two. Happy to go a distance and stay in a hotel or whatever but I don’t share rooms!

💐 @BIossomtoes and Mr. Blossom
Really sorry to hear that.

Aaagh that's just utter shitting shit, @BIossomtoes I'm so sorry 💐

@BIossomtoes im really you are both having these worries again 💕
another one who would be game for a meet up.

I'd love to join you all as well. 😀

Sorry to hear about your bloke @BIossomtoes

You can all have an extra glass of 🍷 for me. I'm lucky if I'm able to get up to Newcastle for an hour, by myself.

Bastard, bastard cancer. I am so sorry @BIossomtoes .
