Wanker.
Nothing to do with politics, I’ve always despised instigators of violence.
Hopefully the police/cps will treat this seriously and see it through.
Looks like Starmer will do the right things.
My understanding from chatting with many folk over the years who actually participated in the pre-comps system is that kids didn’t start technical schools at 11.
It was at 14 only after passing a special exam to show an aptitude for engineering or construction.
Until then it was a mainstream...
Not Labour Party related but chipping in regarding tax havens. R4 today covered the case of funeral plan companies Safe Hands and One Life. £70m of ordinary/vulneable folks money has disappeared. Safe 'invested' £45.1m in the Cayman Islands, the company also 'lent' its former owner £3.5m...
Missing my underlying points:
- new changes of ownership only.
- only affecting a new tax havens blacklist of Panama, BVI, Cayman, Bahamas, Jersey, Guernsey, IoM, etc.

For a $2.5m apartment with stunning views.
I've seen that modest rent figure banded about. But when we, 9 months ahead, looked at apartments to let for a few days or more in NYC, we would've had to pay far more for hovels with no view.
But hacks were loved for going for the jugular against ministers on public and private matters in the past. No matter how small. The same question on repeat, each time met by a brick wall. Coates, Rigby lauded for doing it. That wknr Piers Morgan was loved on NSC in the pandemic for being...
