I’ll maybe not vote J if those are the choices. I can not see that woke, knee taking millionaire pseudo Labour whiner bringing anything to the table.
-
Vote for Starmer if you want total diarrhoea.
-
One of the biggest things for me and I hope others over the past few weeks is the influence of the so called markets on people’s lives. It’s hard not to think many in that world are now a lot happier with things than they were pre covid. J, you could put the greatest individual in the history of UK politics in charge and if the Markets or MSM don’t approve then they’ll be finished long before they get the chance to implement any long term sensible strategies rather than the succession of quick temporary patch ups.

Yeah the tories are making a right mess of things at the min but as long as I live I’ll never vote for this bugger.

Jeremy Hunt Says UK Faces Financial Challenges Of "Eye Watering Difficulty" After Tearing Up Budget APPLE.NEWS Chancellor Jeremy Hunt has has confirmed a major overhaul of Liz Truss and Kwasi Kwarteng's... Payback time for the covid madness by the looks of it. . The money tree that everyone got used to has it would seem got nothing left. Great if you had a good run off it, pretty damn unfair if you got zero during that period of temporary insanity and are now gonna be helping to pay for it.

Yet the current opposition wanted restrictions and furlough etc to go on for longer and fought at every opportunity to achieve that. I tend to agree J that it’s not fixable. Was that the end game !!. Im in Glasgow for a gig at min and the state of the place and amount of beggars is absolutely shocking, politicians of all parties have failed this country massively for years now.
-
I look back at the situation pre the covid farce vs where we are now and just wonder if things are fixable quite frankly. Be it by the Tories or Labour or whatever coalition ends up in power, worse again up here with the SNP/Green incompetents banging the independence drum.
-
Couple of blatantly simple things for me J currently in the UK there are far too many riding on the wagon rather than pushing or pulling it, regards brexit which I know is one of your pet hates along with the Tories, well let’s be brutally honest and admit the unregulated mass immigration allowed by the previous administration certainly lit the fire that became brexit.

That’s a good days work and a bloody good return for sure 👍
-
No probs Les I was just being picky 🤷♂️ On the topic in question, great people over there, did a job a few years ago and found the Iranians we dealt with to be friendly and open with a desire to show you what their country had and meant to them. Like many places take the shit bag politicians and extreme religious types out of the mix and people generally do get along fine.
-
Republican Guard we’re an Iraqi unit Les !!.
-
Very articulate reply as always J but “Starmer” no way !!, I just can’t see the quality of character in him that’s gonna be needed to sort things out if indeed it ever can be under the current system.
-
I keep hearing about the green new deal and green jobs 🤷♂️ Ive been in and around the offshore and renewables game for years and virtually zero of what we see around our coastline or blighting the landscape inshore is built here or installed by a UK workforce. It is a total cash cow free for all what is going on in regards UK offshore wind farms right now, yet it’s barely ever mentioned.
-
I look forward to the day when the scrutiny you seem to get off on is used on the next incumbents of Downing Street. It’s toxic and long term does nothing, accountability yes of course, what we witness nowadays 🤷♂️No thanks, you think it’s helpful!! most people I talk to are rather weary of the tactics used by MSM over the past couple of years in particular the relentless scaremongering regards covid.

Don’t be a twat this early in the day Mick, no one said at any time that a government should not be held accountable, any fool can see the level of MSM frenzy and scrutiny at the moment at any opportunity is not helpful in any way shape or form. PS You wonder why I bothered my arse to point out your mistake regards the Docherty quote 🤷♂️
-
Sadly J the merry go round will continue with whom ever comes in after the Tories. Possibly a honeymoon period, but no doubt that will be followed by absolute forensic scrutiny and saturation MSM coverage and criticism thereafter. Possibly a bit of regional destabilisation and a military intervention or two if they listen to Blair. My eldest son is an absolute Labour fanatic, part of me is hoping he gets his wish and experiences a period of Labour governance if only so he gets to see first hand how shit they are too and how little changes in reality, seeing as he’s too young to remember the shambles that the last Labour administration left things in. I can’t help cringing every time I see that woke, whining, knee taking covid warrior Starmer on tv and thinking that’s the best opposition we can muster.

Few more days onsite for a previous client, mix of Oak and Walnut. Some of the Oak was pushing things a bit, only one small nail over the whole period which was a change.

hello looking for free wood please
Johnsond replied to Clivenovice's topic in Log burning stoves and fireplaces
You can have this crap and the 6 inch nail for free if you come and sort the 36” freshly sharpened chain I’ve just mangled on it 😡
-
Figure of speech eggs ffs, of course it doesn’t bloody work if you are so far in the shit as a nation you have to borrow money to fund a I believe 2 billion costing caused by said tax cut.
-
I guess the country and its finances are so ****************ed we literally have to borrow to reduce tax take off one particular group !!!!. That same group would still be paying 40-41% tax on their earnings. When you actually stop and think about that you realise what a knife edge things are on and how far we are effected by the whims of the markets.

Lynemouth is fed by rail too, not sure where Drax is supplied from.
-
Nope no secret at all, Lynemouth power station (foreign owned of course) is the one I think you are referring too. Converted from coal and as you say sitting in top of millions of tons of recoverable reserves. The drive to green net zero utopia has literally turned into a cash cow for those involved. What needs bringing to the gullible masses attention is what’s actually going on.

Drax: UK power station owner cuts down primary forests in Canada APPLE.NEWS The owner of the UK's biggest power station, Drax, is cutting down key forests in Canada. If you want to see pure madness and insanity at work the whole green ticket attached to the burning of wood pellets is it, mind you with £6 billion of subsidies alone it certainly is profitable. Panorama would be well advised to take a look at UK renewables as currently it’s nothing more than a massive cash cow for predominantly overseas firms, which we the taxpayers are funding, value for money it is certainly not.
