With the steady increase in staple foods prices, and a drop in real term wages, perhaps people are beginning to realise that you can't eat a flat screen television. I've managed to bob along comfortably, but this year and next, more so, I wilI have to tighten my belt considerably.
Brexit, for once some facts.

- Start date
I wish they could. My hunch is that the "marginalised who did not benefit from globalisation and voted for brexit" (or wuckfits who torpedoed the UK by not thinking to the rest of us) are not going to draw any rational conclusions. I would not be surprised at all to see farage back in front line politics in six months (chased by a frothing Boris) with an even more destructive narcissistic load of self serving populist manure they will gobble up with the same discretion they did the previous load
When Forage had to hide in a pub, and literally got hounded out of Edinburgh, he accused the Scots of being racist. It probably didn't occur to him that "we" saw him for what he is.
Well, if being a real 'Wayne Kerr' in political office is sufficient cause for sacking....sorry, resignation!......why is Boris Johnson still Foreign Secretary?
It seems that the lady locked up in Iran may be released before much longer but not because of Johnson's intervention with Iranian politicians. It seems she will be eligible for parole after serving one third of her sentence.

That's correct. We know from the officer that the images were not illegal. We know from Green giving away the computer that it was his own and he could properly have his personal material on it. We know that there is no proof or even the faintest indication that he ever accessed his personal information while in parliament, not that it would be a crime anyway.
So Green was not an offender at the time of the discovery, but the police officer and his very senior ex officer are offenders since they illegally disclosed and continue to publicise private and personal information.
I'm pleased that this breach of privacy has been referred to the Information Commisioner and hope the officers are prosecuted and punished in due course.

Got to hand it to the jocks! They know a tosser when they see one.
I'm not sure why but I'm reminded of a piece of Glasgow humour that occurred while Bono was playing a gig there. He got the whole crowd to be silent and then began slowly clapping his hands. He got the crowd to clap along for a while, the stadium quiet except for the rhythmic clapping…
After a short period Bono spoke, saying that everytime he clapped his hands a child in Africa died …
Suddenly, from the front row of the venue a voice broke out in thick Scottish brogue, ending the silence as it echoed across the crowd, the voice cried out to Bono “Well stop ****ing doing it then!!”

I cant remember a time when such an unelectable shadow government has been in the commons. At any other time in our history I don't think the government of the day would have been tolerated to the extent this one has, surely that has something to do with how inappropriate Labour appear at the moment. The way both sides are behaving is nothing short of a scandal.( both sides being Labour and Tory...not leave and remain)
Had we had a viable alternative surely it would be in power by now.

Nothing to do with the 450 million that we have held for umpteen years,in payment for tanks that we did not deliver...I suspect that Boris was persuaded to pay compound interest on the money!!!!
Does getting older make you wiser or more cynical???

'Vox Political' reveals the kind of chicanery practised by the tory party and the DUP to ensure particular things happen as a result of illegal money being expended:

I'm sure, like me, many of you have been wondering exactly what Liar Fox has been doing in his role, apparently as part of the 'Brexit' hit squad.
This is his achievement.....I believe his only one to date.....which serves to demonstrate that he has been busy...ish.
How much are we paying this clown?

I don't know where you live, but with the amount of lunatic, "me me me" drivers who live in their own bubble of selfishness, that I'm surrounded with, the traffic jams / delays, the state of the roads, moan moan moan etc. On line shopping, if you don't leave it to the last minute, becomes a stress free breath of fresh air.
Odd that before the Brexit decision they didn't think that, it must be just a coincidence, is being less well off one the the "Goodness will flow" things you promised?
More to the point, do you image either of the following
- They will agree it's better to be poorer
- Less sales are good for business?
Let me help you with that
"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that you vote Conservative."
Both, essentially wise enough to be a cynic.I really don't know. Have you tried asking 'flecc'?
