Thank you @placemats. You certainly don’t have a monopoly on misguided posts. It all got a bit fractious all round last night.

Remember you can prove anything with facts.

Indeed Mr and Mrs Ploppy were incandescent regarding the demise of small businesses because of the tax. Oh how those dark winter days must just fly by.

Regarding The whole relation between property, business and local services in the UK is "well fucked" to use a phrase. I'm reminded of not putting away fairy lights to adorn a tree during celebrations in Mid Winter by carefully separating them.

BeLeave.

They still are ...

The White House is 'deeply concerned' at Milliband's FS appointment.

Good!

For the first time in a UK cabinet, women outnumber men.

Good!

Of course they are.
Fossil fuels pay for their politics.

We tried playing nicely with the US and they've proved themselves wholly unreliable.

Fucking excellent.

We were out at a social event with friends last night, so I could only pop in occasionally to the thread. I'm very glad I couldn't manage more, as I don't think I would have been able to sit on my hands for very long.

And also, thank you @placemats

Any credibility you might have had has gone with your use of a juvenile nickname. And the US is no sort of ally these days.
And that’s my last comment on the matter. Hands under control.

Ploppy once again incandescent with rage, like a certain 🍊, who often posts raging incoherent nonsense in the middle of the night.

God, the constant state of hyperbole must be exhausting.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.

Ridiculous - where is such brainwashing taking place? The US are important friends of ours, whether you like it or not.

I honestly feel pity for so many deluded souls whom genuinely can’t seem to understand even the basics of diplomacy and mutual alliances.

Peonies is just yet another incarnation of those 'keeping us on our toes'

They would save a lot of time if they just posted under their regular name.

Ofcourse there is no fun in that.

😴 (obviously not aimed at duncin!).

I knew that Temp

As if the white house doesn't have enough problems of their own to sort out

MAGA are intent on getting their hands on UK & EU politics - flinging money at right wing groups to aid their cause.
All in service of their own investors - fossil fuel companies, crapto and US tech industries.

Anywhere that Trump and Trump JR can make some money basically.

Where is that laugh react when you need it?

Definitely the man for the job, then.

One is reminded of the old saying "with friends like that who needs enemies"

Small minds, no aspiration and no work ethic - that is why the UK is stagnating and the US is ripping ahead. This thread is the very epitome of everything that is wrong with this country tbh.
