[Nuthatch26]

A chat thread for those who don't like this Labour government. 💙

The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money.

Thank you for the new thread @Nuthatch26, bit late but better than never.

@justasking111 , he actually disgusts me too. I don’t know what it is.

Remember the Cameron condom cartoon, every time I see Streeting it comes to mind. Cameron the condom and Wes the worm. share.google/images/loixd5XlClMXPe2Qz

The guy really is breath-takingly entitled!

Why on earth should he feel personally slighted because the parliament of the UK isn't in the city he was born?!?

I'm sure Manchester is a lovely city, but there are 76 cities in the UK... and quite a lot of towns and villages too!

He really does assume the world revolves around him and worships him.

He reminds me of Trump.

@strawberrybubblegum that's a good slant there, why maxnhester. Why not somewhere else even Liverpool !

Reminds you of trump 😂thst will ruffle some feathers !

So it's all about mayors this am.
I don't understsnd it ?
I know a local town mayor and he was arrogant ,thick and entitled there is no way I would have entrusted him with anything at all let alone distributing money into education. ??

Blimey, this is crazy!

Another reason I don't post much

This constant sense of crisis - somehow it feels worse when I come on MN

Anyway, BP selling up in the North Sea is adding to that sense of crisis today.

Apologies Sapphire 😔

@RosieHosie I didn't mean you - I didn't mean anybody

I just meant, I don't feel like chatting much

Although the fact that I don't recognise anybody also doesn't inspire me to post much.

God this is shocking.

Sapphire I also saw the BP leaving 😮
Id like Rachel reeves to answer for that and explain what's happened.

It should be a major alarm bell klaxon !
Panic stations !

Re name changing id highly recommend it on here. I've been here many years and seen some very weird stuff going on

This

BP can find oil working with more stable governments. They threw in the towel with Russia. Now they're sick to death of our dithering. It's a wise business decision.

Lord it's going to crush Aberdeen

They're selling it not closing it down. I suppose this is what happens when business is used as a political football.

I’ll preface this by saying I have zero problem with any race or creed that will live alongside us all, in a moderate way that upsets no one.
But yes, I am a little bit rattled despite living rurally in central south England.

A lighthearted post for a Friday:

I know many on here aren’t fans of Alastair & Rory on TRIP/TRIP Leading, but you may want to tune into next Monday’s episode.

They’ve been trying to get Nige on for a long time and he keeps making excuses. In the interests of full transparency and to ensure voters in the upcoming Clacton by-election get to hear about what is on offer, they have interviewed Count Binface!

🤣🤣🤣

So Andy is offering Spain support after this huge breach of their borders whilst ...our boats keep coming !

😂 laugh or you’d cry.

i expect many of them will head straight for the uk?

You have to laugh. A North African enclave of Spain, which is within Schengen, is invaded. And the Italians and French start closing the borders.

The European dream of free movement is, um, fragile.

So it’s not just countries like Belgium, Luxembourg and Germany banning dentists and lawyers from other EU countries then. 🙄

You are kidding right? FFS 🙄

Sanchez doesn't need help. He's screwing up Spain all by himself. No doubt socialist Andy is a big fan.

Fragile Indeed.

I knew about Italy, but didn't know that France had followed suit.

When did France & Italy close their borders?

Read the news.

Sanchez wife has been arrested for corruption ditto some ministers. Why doesn't he have his collar felt?

I just did, so where have you read that borders are closed @DenizenOfAisleOfShame

Italy doesn’t even have a land border with Spain?!

BBC reporting that Italy are considering suspending Schengen between the two countries, but as they point out - there is no land border between the two countries so it would only apply to flights between the two countries, which isn’t exactly a well-used route for illegal immigrants. In reality it just means a few extra checks at passport control and is a purely token gesture.
