He has a great autobio, apparently.

All you heard was suicide, suicide attempt, nervous breakdown, shell-shock. Then knowledge and empathy grew. Leaving an ever shrinking minority of thicko’s.

Impossible job. The pandemic and its huge cost spelt the end of every significant elected government in the world. Macron the outlier because only 40% vote for the neo-fascist, but he still lost control of parliament.

I love the environment and UK countryside, it is painful to see huge trees and old field systems bulldozed outside the likes of Horsham. But Bliar (joking) literally opened the immigration doors in 1997, our population is 9m greater after previously decades of steady, manageable growth...

New homes are bought by: Investors Young people, usually couples, who've saved and saved for years, making a hell of lot of sacrifices. The descendents of well off parents and grandparents, I suspect many here have gifted a colossal helping hand. Teachers, nurse, police, lone parents who get a...

Society/nimbies can't have it both ways. Make it incredibly hard and expensive for literally anyone to build new homes (including housing associations), then be angry that people in the age 25 to 40 group are light years away from buying a home. A basis lesson in supply and demand would be a...

Western Europe is facing some huge issues and this is one of them. This whole thing hasn’t been clocked by the populace as a whole. I wasn’t a money obsessive or grafter but from 17, with a break for uni, rolled up at offices or building sites for 5 day week without a complaint. You just did...

Will you have company? I’ve watched them solo since May 79 …. I remember the p’d off Tideway teachers on the Friday :lolol: . But my Trump hating daughter then 15 joined me the last presidential election night.

Is that the pro and anti Tim Martin binfest, I love it without even contributing. There are a hell of a lot of high horses being ridden :lolol:

Lightweight here .... water, but the proverbial Pringles etc. Choice of TV news, strangely as I'm not 'an ITV person,' I like their coverage and Tom Bradby. They had a great incident in 2019 when Alan Johnson destroyed the founder of Momentum.

It's funny, it crossed my mind that I might hear some Champagne corks from due west.

A few grandads and skinheads.

Yes, ages and several PM's ago at good odds. But gutted the stakes are modest. Do you stay up late on election nights? I do. If you do, I guarantee you'll have a great night. With virtual company all night from @Bozza and many nsc'ers.

Good news for anyone interested in tangibles and realities. I just listened to Sunak's speech - any changes would happen in the next parliament under a Tory government. SO, THEY'RE NOT GOING TO HAPPEN!!! IT'S IMPORTANT TO POINT THIS OUT BECAUSE THERE'LL NOW BE FOLK HERE WORRIED ... YOU...

There has been a structural change post pandemic. 100,000’s of the 16 to 30 cohort don’t want to be slaves to the 35 to 40 hour week that we signed up to. I know some of them. Not laziness, instead self awareness of mental health. The same in other countries eg France.

Looking at polling, that shoring up yields 19% :D. Under FPTP what do you reckon, 125 seats? Might be worse as another 15% support Reform, so splitting the vote.

Will it have time to be operational by the GE?

Well, then he’s a w@nker. Untouched by mental ill health. Soon to be on the US lectures circuit with Blair and Truss, earning untold millions.

Did Sunak himself in any way belittle mental health? (Genuine question) Not ideal, but I don’t get hot under the collar from right wing Tories or all the Reform type characters who come out with that crap. Just months away from arrivederci!
