Aye the last 5 years or so of government were the worst in living memory.

#7957 have no fear, Dominic! It'll be a cold day in hell when I turn socialist.

I do, however, think the late false Conservative government was in many respects more socialist than the present lot.

#7947 Churchill was indeed Chancellor of the Exchequer! In the 20s, I think. He put us back on the gold standard.

More importantly, Space X Starship due to take off again today.

#7939/7945 I'm worried that Graham is turning red*.

Apparently I shouldnt be referring to one of the new intake of apprentices as "Bungle", despite him very much resembling him.

Barclays To Pay £50K After Boss Called Female Staff 'Birds'

Royal Mail Unfairly Dismissed Postman Over 'Air Kiss'

Correct. 100% so.

[barry evans] 19/11/2024 13:03

Aye, cracking stuff and the bloke is doing it for nothing too, donating his salary to local charities within his constituency each month.

Unlike the snouts in the trough tory boys and labour grifters.

I must say Rupert Lowe comes across as extremely competent. He is also sticking it up 'em on a regular basis - and they do not like it, not one little bit in fact.

[monte1] 19/11/2024 12:53

Loverly sunny day ‘here’ today - although an extra 6 or so layers won’t go amiss.

Both Tice are Rupert Lowe are more than qualified on economic matters, jeffian.

Blimey - shall I remove the cabal AGM from my diary for this year ? Perhaps we should hold it by beeksy meet again.

#7943,

I'm not really following who's who in Reform (other than Nige and Tice, of course). Who are the big hitters when it comes to finance/the economy?

[jeffian] 19/11/2024 12:13

#7945,

Aye, but he wasn't Chancellor of the Exchequer and his WW1 experience must have come in a bit handy when WW2 came along.

I note that the meeting room at the Delta Marriott hotel had booked for in a couple of weeks time has been cancelled, following its immediate closure following the requisitioning by the home office to house a further 300 male illegals.

"Sitting in a back room at the Halifax" is more financial experience than Churchill had!

[barry evans] 19/11/2024 10:54

I think polishing Howard Brown's specs is a must of any prospective Chancellor these days.

[michaelg1] 19/11/2024 10:53

'Any politician who isnt in Reform'

[jeffian] 19/11/2024 10:47

#7939,

Maybe, gra, but a very similar thing did for Andrea Leadsom. Sauce/goose/gander?

I think the issue is that she promoted herself as the 'grown up' taking control of UK plc and that she had the knowledge and experience to do it. Whether sitting in a back room at the Halifax (she herself called it a "junior role" in past tweets) qualifies her for that is questionable. Having said that, it could apply to almost any politician these days.

Oh dear, a lot of doctor visits- have they caught Covid?

Masks on, or no NHS doctor face to face.

hhahahahah oh the irony.

[jeffian] 19/11/2024 10:41

Mornin'all.

doc for me too this morning. I shall manfully battle my way through the storm*

Agreed Barry. The bearded baldy is a busted flush. And personally I think all this stuff about the Chancellor's cv is petty and nasty.
