RA PortRachel Reeves while smugly wallowing in the "bungs" from a millionaire that's providing her with warm clothes is planning to ethnically cleanse many of the elderly by denying them the means to heat their homes this winter.....Daily Telegraph

Non stop propaganda against Starmer and Labour since July less than 3 months ago.

So called corruption is just trivia. Creative accounting to give the impression that modest clothes, entertainment and accommodation are of value.

Our top poiliticains are underpaid, that has always been true.

About £180k as PM salary, living in tatty accomodation is pathetic. A CEO of an extablished water company that could run well without them, they make north of £1m as thanks for pouring sewage into our rivers.

I hope we get a tough budget because we are living behond our means. He should press ahead Thatcher style and ignore the unpopularity.
Down in the polls already, the gilllible public are easily brainwashed.

CORRUPT GOVERNMENT...loss of moral compass, not knowing right from wrong...so corrupting it affects us all....Lord Alli has given the Prime Minister tens of thousands of pounds to spend on suits and glasses, while Lady Starmer has also been given £5,000 worth of clothes and personal shopping.Angela Rayner's team have admitted that a £3,550 donation from Lord Alli in June 2024, described in the register as "donation in kind for undertaking parliamentary duties", was actually clothing while Ms Reeves has received almost £7,500 in clothing from a friend since 2003.Sir Keir also received £20,000 in accommodation from Lord Alli during the election campaign which was for the use of an £18 million penthouse in the Covent Garden area while Rayner accepted five nights in a flat for a "personal holiday" in New York over New Year, valued at £1,250....Daily Telegraph

scruff......the french armada was only pint sized when they first started coming over, if we were allowed to sink them as we did with the spanish armada it could have been nipped in the bud way back.

JL, we have no voice. Democracy is an illusion dreamt up by the movers & shakers in the West to keep us engaged and justify global domination.

[utrickytrees] 21/9/2024 20:55

Stan, you forgot ultra processed ready meals & seed oils.

[utrickytrees] 21/9/2024 20:51

Understand what your saying JL. We're not doing great compared the way things were but the rear view is history. What matters now is our standing relative to our peers and we're still keeping our end up ..just about. My feeling is that the golden share affords the government influence on the global geopolitical stage. It's in the best interest of the West to shore up the energy requirements of those countries bordering Russia. From a priority pov the UK are further down the list.

Y is BBC so anti Israel?
Y is labour so keen to fill this isle with outsiders?
We had a country now we have pathos no industry no aim just failure - answer that you utter fool kneel

The Spanish armada was only pint sized compared to the current French one and far less culturally steamrolling.

"Actually can't think of a single original concept/ idea the Jocks have come up with?"

Copper wire was invented by 2 Jocks fighting over a penny.

The boarders are a wasteland, there's no comparison between the actual boarder & the wall & noone cares cos it's basically a burden for whomever owns it as is 70% of Scotland. I'd imagine there are actually shed load of castles sth of the border cos it cheap land, surprised there's not Jock castles in Jaywick...maybe there is?

Hilarious Scruff, only the Kocks could come up with an instrument which mimics the lungs at an efficiency rate of 50%. Milliband must be a Jock!

[scruff1] 21/9/2024 15:45

Agony bags took some inventing. Stick some canes in a dead pigs bladder. Blow down one. Use your elbow to squeeze it out again through the others to empty the boozer. Penny flutes are a sight simpler. One cane no bladder. Blow down one end and out the other. I suppose they take yer mind off that haggis stuff.

[hardup1] 21/9/2024 15:40

tricky.....would you expect to find a Scottish Castle south of the border?

[utrickytrees] 21/9/2024 14:39

Yes the Jocks nicked banking off the Knights Templers. They were the first to come up with the concept of letters of credit and were english or french. Actually can't think of a single original concept/ idea the Jocks have come up with?

In the case of the failure of this adventure, the Ukrainian Armed Forces may find out that their situation on the other sectors of the frontline has significantly deteriorated.
