[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.

Excellent post.

I was just listening to Frank Gardner talking about the B1s leaving Fairford PDQ and if my understanding is correct, their departure is a good for the UK because "the US is at war with Iran and we are not."

My interpretation of that statement is the UK isn't currently target for Iran, which is a positive given we have other security issues - such as Labour facilitating mass illegal immigration of people with the potential to do us harm.

👏 👏

Love your second para.

The way I understand this is that they might have been asked to leave?

So Frank thinks Iran will leave us alone now does he?
Head>Desk.

Asked to leave by the British government?

I don’t know, I’m speculating.

I’m not sure about that? It was a US decision on lack of security. From what I’ve listened to this morning.

Oh sorry, I misunderstood what Frank Gardner was saying

I misread something.

Sorry!

On a lighter note, I bloody love the tapestry at conservative party conference. 😀

Looking forward to Griffith's speech. Happy with what I've heard so far.

Me too! The tapestry is witty and good fun.

He was good earlier. Actually talking about what to do rather than Burnham’s game show politics.

Fortunately, I didn’t see anyone mention the Erasmus Programme. The ultimate in middle class worry.

Yes, and ‘we can only stay a few weeks at our holiday home(s) in Europe’.

"National security can't come at the expense of social security"

Who will join the armed forces anyway, since if any of them do any fighting they’ll be arrested when they come home.

OP is talking about joining.

Your family members seen to have joined some time ago, being former and current members at the moment.

Checks thread - those who don’t like this Labour gov.

I’ve always known Blossoms to be a closet Liw supporter.

Probably praying they will - like the rest of us.

I do like Gardner, though - not least because of what appears to be his encyclopaedic knowledge of the Middle East and measured analysis of current events.

I'm delaying my lunch break until 2pm so I can listen <sounds of tummy rumbling> 😂

Fair enough.
Haven't our security services already foiled about 20 attacks though before the US bombed Iran?
Although Red Ed's shook hands with the Iranian foreign minister so perhaps the UK is now an Iran ally. (Sarcasm obv).
Stop the train, I want to get off.

Okay this isn't Labour but it did make me laugh - you guys may have seen the Lib Dem Hina Bokhari suggesting that tradesmen could get around London on cargo bikes.

I enjoyed this response very much.

I think she might be on MN, I have seen the same suggestions on here.

When she said a builder could manage a long ladder on a bike I lost interest.
