Next annoyance is the endless stream of ridiculous, pointless podcasts produced by the BBC, mainly involving football. As if listening to Ella Toone and Alessia Russo giggling over a cup of coffee wouldn't be bad enough, this morning i heard a trailer for "My mate's a footballer" with (wait for...

Weird that Wood End didn't make the list. Still a hell-hole!

... or having video calls with family/friends, or watching random shit videos, or using a mobile on speakerphone like they do on The Apprentice. ALL without headphones. on ALL forms of transport!

Gosh - so young. I had no idea it progressed to fatality so quickly. His suffering is at an end.

It's because the metropolitan elite use Sainsbury's and they don't want people to panic-buy in there, maybe.

I think Robinshio meant the ransom!

If it is going to be that bad (and there is absolutely no suggestion as to why it might be), it's probably more worthwhile to kidnap a GP and hold them hostage in your sex dungeon. (Everyone has one of those, right? Repurposed nuclear bunker, etc :D)

A gentle reminder that they are still there???

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-69072640 If Labour don't stump up their ridiculous 35% pay demands, i hope the junior doctors give Starmer as rough a ride as they have given this past government. If they don't, it will appear to be a party-political stunt and they will lose support and respect.

Some really good points here. Thanks. And we are all unqualified, aren't we? Just trying to help each other out! I think the higher turnout favours the Conservatives because of the opinion polls missing the older population who might tend to be more likely to be Tory. For me, I struggle with...

I'm trying to find out what Reform and the SDP stand for in more detail before i decide which way to chuck my X. TBH, i'd never really realised the SDP still existed, until i saw a candidate declared in my constituency. "The SDP is a patriotic, economically left-leaning, and culturally...

JL Partners are a Tory thinktank. They started out as Theresa May's research team. Wouldn't trust any of JLP's data for a balanced view, but to my recollection YouGov's polls haven't been particularly accurate either. Thanks for the explanations about the methods used for polling, but i think...

Perhaps so, but saying he wanted to "dodge" paying 40% suggests he was doing something illegal!

Probably better to say "avoid".

That is exactly how it should be - the question is whether building a shitload of 4 beds will bring the asking prices down or just make the builders richer? I hope it is the former (for your sake).

Another development in my village is a financial partnership between the district council and their "arms length" housing association to build a selection of smaller houses, for social rent, free-market rent and shared ownership sale. Proper council houses, at least in a proportion.
