Would you like to explain how you think I sit on the fence? Os it I hardly ever trust any politician? If Starmer keeps it steady he should win. What's wrong with that? Or would you prefer it if he promised too much or started insulting everyone? Know it all? I have lived through countless...

Would you still prefer Corbyn as leader than Starmer? The problem we have is we normally go for a leader that either comes with baggage or someone who speaks without thinking. We need someone the voters can trust. Last time Corbyn was supposed to win easily. Well at least the left as far as...

Show me where I have ever been a fence sitter. I am older than you. Yet please show me in a quoted post where I have been wrong in this stupid politics thread. All my life I have been a Labour voter. Also a Unite member. But as you get older you learn from experience. You have called me...

Of course. Shall we quote posts made previously? There are 3 parties. Labour. Tories. Then those of us that are realistic.

You still don't seem to get it. As I said at the time it was all to do with too many skeletons in the closet. And before you try shouting me down yet again for saying so please consider the facts. Is he anti Jewish? Don't think so. Is he or has he ever been a terrorist? Most probably not. But...

They both passed away.

Pulled my cash out of shares 2021 as life got a bit hectic. Just didn't have the time to keep an eye on everything every day. Handed it over to a mate who is a financial advisor. We have a little competition on who does best. I put all my eggs in one basket. All in unit trusts and bonds. I...

Won't be much in it. Been getting between 1% and 2% for years. This one we have been offered 6% and our union has advised us to accept it. But if we were public sector they would advise us to not accept.

After nearly 30 years my pay, including promotions, has gone up just 160%. But fair play to you.

Your earnings are easily high enough to retire early. You will have a pension that most can only dream of. But can you live a frugal life and save every penny and invest it? I saved every penny I could for many years. No exotic holidays. Always drove older cars. My present one is 15 years old...

Which is my point. We have those who are stealing a living. Then we have those who need and deserve more. But those who have governed for the last 20 years or more have got it so wrong and continue to do so.

Try being a shift worker. We know we live many years less. But because we don't have a title like school teacher we don't get considered. Lost the last colleague just a couple of months ago to a heart attack. His son watched me giving first aid for over 30 minutes until the paramedics arrived...

Education funding? Just like the NHS. Funded enough but the money goes to the wrong places. Those giving the effort not paid enough and those stealing a living are forgotten about.

Which is my point that I am glad you understand. We're all supposed to be in this together.

Sure am planning to 😁 Get my residency card in about 8 weeks whenIam actually 55. Then all about Italy, Spain and France with a motorhome. Just a mess with bureaucracy until then.

Of course. Sorry I forgot that I am always supposed to be wrong.

A pay rise is a rise in pay. But on here the truth is not the truth

I'm chilled. Just had enough of those who are not happy with a 100% raise in 5 years but say they are not paid enough and don't care where all this money is coming from. You accept a job. Then moan like fuck your wages have only gone up by 100% in 5 years. How much has yours gone up in the...

And as I have always said everyone should do what is best for them. But 100% payrise after just 5 years in times of low inflation and complaining that the payrise wasn't enough is a bit too much. I paid over 40k in income tax last year. Just like I usually do. And some expect me to pay more so...

I retire in exactly 4 weeks. That will stop me 🤣🤣🤣
