    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    But it is pretty selfish ultimately, because it's only your offspring you're bothered about. If it gives your kids more but other kids end up suffering because of it, so be it. You got what YOU wanted. I'm fine with people wanting to protect their kids and family - it's one of the most basic...

    And they'll die and it'd be worthless to them. And you're grandkids...and your great-grandkids..

    So if no-one lays the roads or the train tracks how does the surgeon get to the hospital to perform the surgery? Or if no-one builds the hospital/operating theatre to begin with? It's all linked together and those more prestigious cogs only get to look great because the other cogs wound around...

    And that is exactly why you and your like should have a limited say in what is best for society - because it's all about you. Enjoy that money and that home - it'll be worth fuck all to you in the end when you die.

    But why are those people emptying your bins rather than doing something else that pays more? The fact is if you take your argument to it's logical conclusion of everyone striving to get better jobs either through intelligence or hard work, there will be no-one left to do the actual jobs that...

    So instead they get a bus that's ageing and has had maintenance skipped on it, where everything has been stripped back to the bare minimum and ideally want you to bring your own seat if they could get away with it, travelling on old routes that have been shown inadequate for the journey for a...

    Because they're not self-important arseholes. Who would empty your bins if everyone decided it was below them?

    I think you missed off the biggest cause of price rises - greed for higher profit margins.

    Except the only bus that gets to the destination is the blue bus because all the other routes don't get enough passengers to make them viable services.

    But inflation is running at 9% so you're saying that they should accept a real terms pay cut after years of wage stagnation?

    And how often are these actually 'independent'? It's heavily govt influenced under the veneer of independent.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Waste collectors do an important job. So do train drivers. I think I'd notice them not doing anything long before a bunch of self-important arseholes stopped acting like schoolchildren shouting at each other in a fancy old building before writing down some bullshit on goatskin that they have no...

    And they're vital in making sure at the very least we don't end up back there. If you let companies get rid of employees, not give those left pay rises and increase their workload to make more profit then that's where we end up. And that's a possibility if you have a government that constantly...

    Transfer Rumour Kasey Palmer - Confirmed

    Good that we've got another much needed ACM in, and looks like he has a decent amount of talent to create chances. Would maybe have liked a bit better scoring record, and the appearances/fan reviews are a slight cause for concern, but cautiously optimistic.

    I appreciate that. But enjoy the Tory government you'll end up with instead.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I didn't think Starmer believed in anything? And I didn't say I didn't beleive in economic growth. I said I believed there's way more than that to indicate success that is pretty much ignored. Imagine. Life expectancy going down, as is the general health of the population due to high levels...

    But the point is you're very unlikely to actually get that option. It'd be like having a dinner party and over half are vegetarian. Choosing the food, some want the vegetable curry, others want a salad, some want jacket potatoes. Meanwhile, the few meat eaters all decide on steak and spend the...

    Exactly. If he'd supported them the story would be "Lefty Starmer wants to increase cost of rail tickets and put rail infrastructure on its knees" Because he didn't it's "Coward Starmer won't back strikes" Got fuck all to do with reporting and everything about the narrative.
