Yes, Tony Blair and his shitty winter fuel payments..... Only saying....
-
He's lasted longer than Liz Truss so maybe not going to happen

I just find it incredulous that you need to highlight to a bunch of reasonably intelligent people that prime ministers talk to their predecessors like it is a new thing, a big surprise, almost as if it is a surprise to you. So I'll ask again, did you really really only start reading the news 5 years ago? Just wondering where in my words I was defending Tony Blair. Maybe that was all in your head, have you been drinking again?
-
Did you really really only start reading the news 5 years ago? All former prime ministers generally get advice from previous ones, particularly from the same side of the house. The exceptions being the last years as the Conservatives publicly pulled themselves apart with Prime Ministers who couldn't stand the previous ones (and with similar mutual respect going the other way). Likewise world wide the same happens, look to the US as another example where Biden and Obama frequently chat, and back each other - Obama is also backing Harris.

actually you might have sold me on the chocolate thing

So a best solution might be something that the tree won't damage?

Just looking at how things work, with the EU referendum and Scottish independence votes by way of comparison - if Farage, Johnson and so on had 'lost' the referendum do you think they would have quietly said "OK" and given up or do you think they would still be gong on about it? Likewise Sturgeon lost the independence vote and never gave up but kept pushing. I don't think there will be a satisfactory and mutually beneficial deal without closer integration with Europe - simple things like we all find it hand to pop over to Europe in holiday without long pass port or ferry queues. The great benefits that we could stop the Belgians coming here to live and we could fish all the fish have never really been great benefits to be honest and at a greater cost and inconvenience to trade.. so to get any benefits I think we need to integrate with some of the systems and so on that they have. Assimilate if you like.

A silly question that might not be so silly... what caused the end of the drive to crack in the first place? (suspect that the tree roots are cracking the drive and in which case, put in another solid drive, in 10 years time you will be in the same situation again, cracked drive.)
-
Or just keep banging on about how bad the EU is till you get a vote.. and I suspect the same 'lefty logic' would have applied if we had voted to remain - see Sturgeon and Scottish independence as an example there
-
The UK population is swinging towards closer ties with the EU so perhaps the politicians should continue to respect the 'will of the people', stop being 'anti-democratic' and govern according to our wishes?

There was a toddler shot himself the other day too with his mums loaded gun left in the car as she went grocery shopping.

I started but the images were getting 'not safe for work', less nunny and more Lady Godiva
-
No, but the burka thing is just xenophobia
-
But Catholic nuns... they're OK? So long as the scary eyes behind the mask are white we are all happy. Ask for masks... nothing new, the accused are often seen hiding their faces - did you only ever start watching the news 4 years ago?

If there is water then it has to be coming from somewhere. Painting the felt sounds like just sealing it in. Have a look at the other end where the chimney leaves the building perhaps

D'oh, yes! that one

Yes, 59% of the rest of the population live in poverty. Take head from arse and look at the world objectively instead of just being objective.
-
It's never quite that simple though is it? Could be that Israel's policies keep Gaza - generally - in a state of poverty... and in poverty extremism flourishes. Give people a chance and a hope (generally applies everywhere) is the way to drive out the terrorists (and generally criminal gangs - terrorists are just more organised with better infrastructure?). Can look at that area from both sides very easily as "well, they started it" and point out what each side has done, but it doesn't stop them attacking each other.
-
weirdo - you mean foster some sort of understanding between all sides rather than just rules of the playground "they started it?"
-
Was told once I should be grateful to pay tax because that means I am earning enough for the tax man to care (and not too much to be an arse and hide it away was the rest of the sentence). All I'd do is make sure there is enough coming into the bank account each month (after taxes) to keep me in the style and life I want.

Need advice! Large Ash widowmaker
Steven P replied to giddyjet's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
Is there any risk associated with the tree - paths, public accessing the woods, falling on anything? If the risk is minimal is there a need to remove it is where I am coming from. Had a couple similar in my wood but was able to leave them, storms brought them down eventually, no risk to me or anyone else. -
Its the constant -anything bad a non white person does is reported by you as making the news today, any similar crime by a white person is ignored-. In this week you might be surprised to know that white men have also stabbed others to death, you never mentioned that, why would that be? The news article itself is not a racist article, but your bias of what you post. Constantly. Stick to the milling thread, comments on the diving, people are interested in that and respond positively. Just reading what the forums interests are.
-
I'll humour your relentless political and racists posts with just the one. Probably a similar response as the previous administration did. No better. No worse.
