    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    Someone basic maths for you. Leaving the EU costs the UK economy £100B a year in lost trade. Last year we sold the US around £60B IIRC. You’re celebrating at best losing £100B to gain about £6B. I’m not sure that’s the win you think it is. That’s before you even factor in that the point of...

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    The naivety in this statement is staggering. Trump is deliberately orchestrating a worldwide trade war that’s going to be felt in every country in the world regardless of whether they had zero tariffs applied to their goods or slightly smaller tariffs than anyone else. The last time the world...

    They’re already banning certain books so technically they are minus the actual theatrics of burning them.

    DIY-ing

    Don’t skimp on the mastic. Even Unibond isn’t that good. Buy Bal or something similarly priced. When I worked on sites the masticers made it look easy. , the top tips they gave was buy decent mastic, how you cut the nozzle is crucial. They used to use a variety of wooden dowels cut and shaped to...

    Yeah I ain’t a fan. I’m just not going to get wound up by a lie perpetrated by Tories. If you want to get behind Tory lies then knock yourself out.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    The initial tweet is a lie. Kevin Hollinrake is quoting what Starmer said in opposition that he would have frozen council tax for the following period. At the GE he promised a 5% cap which has been kept with the exception of 6 councils as your own link shown. He has indeed broken A promise. Just...

    I’m not making excuses for him. The link posted was incorrect, he never promised to freeze council tax except in opposition. His promise at the GE was to cap at 5%. Which ironically as someone else’s link has subsequently shown has been broken in the case of six councils. Your own personal...

    Didn’t he say that in opposition and was specifically talking about the period of 2023-24 while the party in power was allowing council tax bills to go up by huge margins. IIRC correctly the promise at the GE was that they’d cap rises by 5%. In other words he’s kept his promise by your own...

    The biolabs is a complete qanon Russian backed conspiracy theory. There’s never been any tangible evidence to prove anything. Russia violated the Budapest treaty when it annexed Crimea, it’s actually been in violation of it from day one with its interference in Belarus which it never really...
