‘What female MP would you want to shout abuse at you for being a capitalist exploitative scumbag whilst riding you reverse cow-boy as you watched her red hair bouncing up and down on her powerful freckly shoulders’?
 
It’s a bit of a niche category I’ll admit but I can assure you, it exists. 

You wrong'un

I imagine that the problem with such niche tastes is that you quickly run out of source material.

There's a corner of the internet for every taste....

She is so angry the whole time, I find it arousing…
 

Aye, she's got that redhead fiery thing going on. I wouldn't want hear her read the shipping forecast on the regular though.

Shocking isn't it! It amazes me that anyone wants to fly a flag for any of them.

Her voice is like nails on a chalkboard to me. There are plenty of pleasant northern accents (I say that with grandparents from Rawtenstall and Sheffield) but hers is not one of them. 

 

It might be a tiny bit prejudiced of me to suggest that people with extreme regional accents make a bit of an effort to communicate in a flatter, more accessible manner, but given that the purpose of communication is to communicate clearly, her thick NW parlance inhibits her ability to reach people outside of her geographical area. 

She is a rare case - it is both what she says and how she says it that turns the milk sour...

More a case of what’s not really making the news (or at least not so much as it should.)

 

Has anybody noted the “changes” on their smart meter?

 

Shocking!  I can see real problems ahead of this is not addressed. 
 

CEO of energy company quoted as saying “...we’ve got more money than we know what to do with...”

 

Oh f*cking really!

My ground rent has just gone up from £15/night to £20/night due to energy costs, before long I'll be better off renting a flat. But you know that won't be happening.

I’m not the biggest fan of Sheila Fogerty on LBC, but she had a feature on last week where some charity bloke had been on a home visit and found a woman heating a tin of beans over a candle and making toast with a fork off the gas fire and too afraid to ask for help for fear of having kid taken away. 
 

Also mention that food banks are now rejecting donations that need cooking because folk can’t afford the gas / electric to cook meat & veg. 
 

This is the reality for some and I can’t help but think there really is a quantum shift in ‘compliance’ coming....

 

PS - there’s no sense at all coming out of any political party at present. Taxing energy companies is no good - that’ll just funnel money into government where it’ll be wasted. 
 

Solution - energy companies take the ‘pain’ out of profits, government remove / reduce VAT + other taxes paid by user and proper revisit of fracking.
