Unfortunately we live in a country where a large number of people fall for this bollocks.
The Mail getting into the The Sunday Sport territory there. They’ll be telling us next that there’s a spitfire on the moon.Also, this Tory campaign to get people back in the office is getting desperate.
IF YOU WORK FROM HOME YOU'RE HELPING THE TALIBAN!!
PEOPLE STILL WENT TO WORK EVEN WHEN GETTING BOMBED!!
Tories getting worried about their commercial property portfolios.
Be interesting to see if the working from home narrative switches due to high energy prices for business.Also, this Tory campaign to get people back in the office is getting desperate.

Unfortunately we live in a country where both main parties get away with constant bollocks because the most vocal on both sides attack every lie from one side and defend every lie from the other. There's no pressure for either side to become more truthful. And until it changes politics in the UK will continue to be a farce. This makes idiots like Boris electable. And even though we have gone from one disaster to another I have seen nothing to suggest anything but another Tory government.Unfortunately we live in a country where a large number of people fall for this bollocks.

There's not enough poor/left wing voters to counter rich/aspirational/anti left voters to give anything but another Tory win unless a major event happens that shows the Tories for what they are. And even this might not be enough.
Who knows could be on the verge of it depends how this situation plays out over the winter and into next year with interest hikes,gas Levy's, inflation etc strength of sterling.Unfortunately we live in a country where both main parties get away with constant bollocks because the most vocal on both sides attack every lie from one side and defend every lie from the other.

Did I say it was?Why is aspiration the preserve of the right?
Which is what I mentioned. Might if something major happens that goes badly wrong.Who knows could be on the verge of it depends how this situation plays out over the winter and into next year with interest hikes,gas Levy's, inflation etc strength of sterling.
Theres always going to be that issue until you have pure democracy (which is a terrible idea IMO).
Really we probably need to bite the bullet and go for a presidential system as we basically vote like that anyway.
Problem is like all progressive policies 50% want nothing to change and the other 50% are split eight ways about what change to make.
The voting public have no choice but to vote for the lies or promises that can't be kept because all main parties do it. And voting for a smaller party is usually a wasted vote.I'm not a fan of giving one individual too much power, especially one who can claim they have a mandate from the people. As we already see in elections people will very easily fall for lies, promises that can't be kept or just the personality of the person. Promise one thing then do another and then use the media etc to spin it in their favour.
If it did happen we'd have to learn from the US etc. For a start they should have no say whatsoever in picking the judiciary.
The Tories have fucked the Union. It’s probably time for damage limitation.I don’t get what is progressive about wanting to break the country up with SNP and PC.
Did I say it was?
Most of those who do well/perceive themselves as doing well want to be led by those who look after those who have money.
But here we go again. Defend Defend Defend. Attack Attack Attack. Never consider anything that doesn't tick a box. Keep everything as it is. Keep the Tories in power.
I can't wait. Just 18 months to go and will be living in a country where all politicians are held to account. Even from those who support that party.
Is it half term yet?I see De Pfeffel has headed off to Spain for a holiday.
Yes they are. The only reason Macron got in last time is it was him or full on racists.Are politicians held to account in France?
I honestly don't know but I do remember Macron allowing the police to set about yellow vest protestors, including women, very violently and don't think he had much repercussions.
I was surprised at the time that the anti EU brigade on here didn't make much more of it and I suspected it was because they thought it could happen here, which it did, albeit on a smaller scale.
Im sure they are and will.
Banks to pay £7bn dividend bonanza: Big five lenders defy crunch
Lloyds Banking Group, HSBC, Barclays, NatWest and Standard Chartered - are set to report pre-tax profits totalling £33billion for 2021, paving the way for bigger payouts to shareholders.www.thisismoney.co.uk
Inappropriate behaviour from 'impartial' bbc news reporters at the tory part conference.

I think we somehow need to incorporate dividends into corporation tax in some form. At the moment it's tax v dividends and if you base the tax around the dividends everyone is pulling in the same direction. If the shareholders are doing well so is the public purse.
You do get taxed on dividendsWould rather have a tax on shares as well. If you want to profit from the economy then you can pay something into society.
Doesn’t that depend on where the dividends are paid to. If they’re being paid to a hedge fund based in an offshore tax haven are they paying any tax or the same tax rate as a company director of a small company paying himself a dividend in the UK?You do get taxed on dividends
This has just strangely appeared in my Twittersphere.
Given that Prince Andrew is number 1 probably down to reports of her covering his legal costs.Decent list although I'm unsure as to why the Queen is there
Genuinely thats suicide with his supporters tbh , however he may be saved as he's reading a message outHey @Grendel , you know how you hate the IRA and you're always posting that gif because you think someone on here is an IRA sympathiser.
And you know how you idolise that bloke in your avatar.
Well...

They wouldn't, however they are both main political party leaders , farage is currently just a talk show host isn't he ?He is just reading a message out but he or his team should be on top of making sure stuff like this gets weeded out.
Do you think someone like Starmer or Corbyn would get away with the excuse of "I was just reading a message out"?

I also don't think he has a team watching him live stream on twitter or Instagram or whatever social media account he did this on .. bit of a nothing story tbh , at first i actually thought he said it with intention which would have pissed many off ..
Now I know what it actually is it's a nothing story , knob head or not
