Are they actually that determined to turn us into a nation if pansys?

Short answer has to be "yes they are"

In my little nieces school they have banned clapping because it could be too much for the kids to cope with.

clapping is hard to cope with to be fair

Certainly is. I've seen you trying and you manage to connect about 1 in 4.

Well it looks like Labour have committed electoral suicide, you really could not make it up, what were they thinking?

It’s a shame we don’t have a 3rd party that is a serious contender as a party in the centre at the moment would walk it.

McDonnel’s mentalist Marxism, Momentum in full control, Corbyn blissfully bumbling towards a Venezuelan economy, all topped off with idealist ‘students’ that are so thick as to not realise they’ll be the ones paying for all the empty promises and an XL side order of racist anti-semetism. 

 

Its beyond comedy! 

 

“Planning for the economy to crash” What a billboard campaign add that’ll make....

OK, I’ll admit it, no shame in recognising when you’re wrong!

 

Listening to the Comrade Leader’s closing speech, I now recognise that I too have something to gain (so long as I’m willing to join the massed ranks of those that demand something “out” regardless that they put little or nothing “in.”)

 

Since there’ll be (free) life-long education and vocational training for all, I’d just as well go blow the training budget on yoghurt and hemp weaved flip-flops!  

 

Bonus!

UKIP's new leader looks like a good pick. Good experience and politically even-handed by the looks of it. Could be worth a punt in the future

54 people died on Devon and Cornwall's roads in the 12 months up to June 2017. The figure was 44 the year before.

 

(BBC Radio Cornwall)

 

Excess winter mortality in England and Wales was back in line with average trends in 2015/16. There were an estimated 24,300 excess winter deaths where 15% more deaths occurred in winter months than non-winter months.

It’s not “making the news today” but I have to wonder why.....

 

60 odd die in dreadful circumstances (is there a “good” way to die?) (on a side note, what’s the opposite of a rhetorical question?) in a tower block....

 

A slack handful (of ex-pats) get their yachts wrecked in their tax haven (and some locals die.....)

 

That makes the news....  What’s that all about??
