  2. Think of all the money you save on paying peanut N.I. contributions and also claiming everything you can through your small business. That way you can stop grumbling.

  4. Ā @michaelmontagu3979Ā  Yes, itā€™s nowhere near as factual as The Sun, Mail or Express.

  5. Yep. Just stick up the interest rate like today and get us plebs to pay for his vanity projects. Maybe he's going for the peace prize. Despite all this the working class patriots will still vote for him.

  7. Ā @grahamogden70Ā Labour havenā€™t held power for 13 years Graham. Do you blame Covid on Corbyn?

  8. Strange - as I did 5 years of night shifts on the railway. Must have been dreaming, either that or you are talking complete bollox.

  9. How do a lot of those zero hours contract workers get to work? Some use a tube train whose driver has done 3 hours work before that other workers scratched their bollox/pumpum ( delete as appropriate unless you have both )
    2
  10. Ā @franco8flylineĀ  What "random problems with the driver " have you encountered? and why do you think it's the drivers fault that your train has been delayed? Could it have been ' staff not avaliable ' by any chance? If it was do you think the government wanting to get rid of staff would make it any better? With regards to money earnt, it's starting to sound that you are jealous because a driver earns the money they do. Maybe you could apply providing you could get thru the necessary interviews and stock/line knowledge course.

  11. @fab You've never done the job obviously. More gaslit waffle.

  12. Ā @ThinkfliteĀ  Yes, there are those that choose not to work but have you ever tried to claim for anything? I did 37 years ago for a month when I lost my job. I gave up in the end.

  15. Ā @djpeekay25Ā All by the RW billionaire owned press. Hardly surprising. The silly people that keep voting for the tories have forgot about 14 years of dodgy dealings and them originally selling off council homes, most of Londonā€™s landmarks to the arabs, partying whilst people died alone, making us poorer by giving bigots a vote to leave the EU etc etc etc We could go on but I think your blinkers are so firmly fixed on it would be a waste of typing.

  16. Ā @GaryBurdenuik-g8yĀ Itā€™s out of the foreign aid budget which is paid anyway. Some crappy news outlets have mislabelled it and got you all frothy to keep your caps lock button in employment. Stay angry.

  17. Look at all the tory/Brexit voters who did care about any farmers in 2016, now a tax that everyone else has to pay ( at a higher rate than Wealthy land owners ) has been brought in by Labour the snowflakes have gone into meltdown. Brilliant.

  18. Yep. Boris closed 68 police counters, 10 fire stations plus 27 appliances ( which could have helped when Grenfell burned ) closed numerous booking offices on the tube, bought a water cannon we couldnā€™t use, spent 50 million on an invisible bridge and helped get rid of 9,000 fully trained up plod @ 59,000 each. And that was only when he was Londons mayor. But patriots like David thought he would do a better job at running the country as Boris partied whilst people Died. Donā€™t be like David. Donā€™t be a complete šŸ”§

  22. Unfortunately the closet racists are waiting on these events with phone in hand. Quick to blame one section of society yet not having any facts whatsover. Just blame anyone with a beard or whoā€™s black - it helps them get thru the day.

  25. Ā @rogermoore5761Ā  Bang on, and also the record number of asylum seekers coming over on boats. Itā€™s all Putins fault or Covid or blm or the communists/socialists ( except the furlough socialists as they donā€™t count )

  26. Ā @michaelathanasiou2030Ā  I'm surprised that you still think Labour could be any worse than this current shower but i suppose that's the myopia kicking in again.

  29. @FukTheGender Agenda Sorry but your comment offers no common sense. I'm happy to pay for things that we all need and use ( Let's take the NHS ) The tories are slowly screwing it into the ground and will break it up bit by bit until we have a system akin to the USA. Try getting an appointment to see a GP at the present. Nigh on impossible. Will be even worse with the upcoming influx of brit immigrants living abroad having to come home for health care. You can't blame any supply issues and shortages on anything other than being the tories fault, enhanced by leaving the EU. Nearly 3 million people using foodbanks in a country that's supposed to be the 5th richest in the world. As for the police - it was May getting shot of 21000 fully trained plod over a 6 year period. Nothing to do with labour. Same went for Bojo when he was mayor closing 11 fire stations and getting rid of 27 appliances which could have been used to save those poor souls in Grenfell. It sounds to me like you are another one that has had their mind indoctrinated over the last decade by the RW press that's owned by billionaires who don't live or pay taxes in the UK. You weren't out at 8pm clapping on a Thursday night by any chance??

  30. @FukTheGender Agenda Oh forgot. Our military is at its weakest ever thanks to the party that's been in power for over a decade.

  31. @FukTheGender Agenda So, in your earlier comments you mention that labour put everything up because they are the party of giving then tell us that you are in benefit of UC? I'm also amazed at how little your bills are. You must be in another solar system or as I am thinking just making it all up.
    1
  32. @FukTheGender Agenda I didn't say you had to give any reason as to why you are on UC. I'm hoping you are getting all the help you need. The point you've missed is that you seem to say you are a proper Conservative voter yet they are the party that don't want to be paying you money - that's a socialist ideal. Sorry, but in these times I don't believe your bills are as low as you say they are - especially if you are on prepayment meters. Gas at this time of year understandable but no way in the winter. It's like you are trying to justify a party by pretending to muddle thru. Why not get a cap to doff as well? Unfortunately it's working class people like yourself that have played a part in messing this country up, be it handing the tories a huge majority or in the referendum. Whilst they and their mates make shit loads for their offshore hedge funds it's the man and women in the street that pays for it. Time to wake up fella.

  33. And the tories in Stoke are doing a great job after brexit I see. šŸ‘

  34. Yes Danny. Nail on head. Longest hours for the longest age for the lowest pensions in europe. So what did the tories manage people to vote for in 2016? The UK population really are šŸ‘

  35. And who caused that price rise you have just mentioned?

  36. Ā @prideofdurham4776Ā  Which is why I find it strange that the majority of pensioners voted for a tory government. Mainly because of the referendum and immigration. Pensioners in my village haven't stopped moaning that they can't get a GPs appointment. That's because thousands of NHS Drs, nurses, ancillary staff were sent packing....

  37. Ā @lal2300Ā  No. They are only shrewd with their mates and their own money. Add up the cost of Brexit, the money spaffed on dodgy ppe contracts, T&T, getting rid of 21,000 fully trained plod then telling everyone they are putting 20,000 new ones on the streets, HS2,3,4 and all the invisible bridges. I'd rather have Lord Buckethead in charge. I suppose though voting tory keeps the brown people away ( apart from the ones arriving at Dover everyday )

  40. Ā @progressivepath1995Ā  Corbyn was a eurosceptic from day 1. One reason the unions advised their members to vote to leave. Bojo however wasn't, then he was, then he wasn't, then he was. He kept changing depending on who he spoke to at the time and what gain it would give him in his quest to lay on the bed at no10 with a mirror on the ceiling.

  41. Ā @wxyz9035Ā  Strange comment considering May herself admitted after that her response to not meeting the locals wasn't good enough. More than likely down to embarrassment for contracts given away to put those panels on the outside of the building. Have a word with any one local and none of them will tell you she did anything constructive. Take your blinkers off fella. You'll be saying that corbyn was at fault for the lack of appliances at the fire next!!

  42. Ā @progressivepath1995Ā  As a labour supporter I agree with you. His ego caused the massive losses. Should have stepped down from the big job 2 years before.

  43. Over a decade of being drip fed drivle has worked for the RW press. Just look at Brexit and how that was handled. The tories must have thought they are untouchable with an 80 seat majority and getting the UKplonkers out every Thursday clapping for nurses they must have thought they could get everyone to do anything.

  44. Ā @ThinkfliteĀ  You were paying tax in the blair era for something else - the war.

  46. @Dagoth Ur When did labour do that?

  47. Ā @uktravel8341Ā  It's clear that a great deal of the working classes have swallowed the rubbish peddled by the RW press over the last decade. Mention socialism and the bojo fan club are up in arms yet forget that nearly 12 million sat at home for the best part of a year on furlough whilst the rest of us pay for it. The UK has become a country of " when it suits me " generation - selfish and with no empathy whatsover. Another term of tory government will confirm the closure of the NHS and anything else designed to assist people in need. That's the tory plan. Feed you shite, and kill you off early - saves a fortune in state pension payments..

  48. Ā @nightowl7459Ā  Funny. You comment on the ever growing number of immigrants yet despite the tories being in power for 12 years and their many promises to control borders etc it's labours fault in your bubble? That's like the people who voted to leave said E.U. and now are complaining that they can't get seen at the Dr's due to lack of staff or the ones I encountered at Palma airport over Easter moaning that it was taking too long to get thru passport control and unfair that anyone with an Irish passport were waved thru. šŸ¤¦
    1
  49. Well the borders have been closed a few years now and there's apparently 1200 a day still coming in so how does that stack up in little England Ram man? Have you not sussed yet that the UK will always require immigrant labour? Why do you think Bojo was in India the other week? Maybe you consider yourself patriotic like most brexiteers do. Have a look at the definition of patriotic. Then look at how many people have lost their jobs and livelihoods thanks to Brexit. You could start with the 260 job losses at Delarue in the N.E. After the government gave the passport manufacturing to a French/Dutch company who have sourced it out to Poland. One reason the " patriots" are moaning about the delays in getting one instead of spending a holiday in the UK. We are in this mess because of the tories. If you want to drag up the past let's go back to Thatcher selling off all the council stock. As Hutch says with people like you and your way of thinking then there really is no hope for the UK.

  50. Ā @Zarken26Ā  Great reply but I switched off as soon as I saw the words unaccountable oligarchy. I never saw the EU as some evil organisation like you patriots just something that made life easier. Sovereignty, control, armies etc all complete bollox to wind you people up. Unfortunately as for your ideas on manufacturing etc it's too late as UK plc was sold off years ago. We are a service country now that bolts bits together for other nations. As for immigrant workers, I haven't seen the brits climbing over each other to do all these jobs that were left, one reason the government flew in Romanian workers after brexit to pick the rotting fruit n veg in the fields. Last year on my holiday in the lakes pubs and restaurants were closing at 8pm due to no staff and no supplies. This was in August. All the owners were complaining that they were losing money. Being in the EU cost me Ā£12 a month to which I saw as a complete bargain. Over Easter the Essex gang were at Palma airport complaining about the huge queues. This is just the start. I'm all for democracy, let's just have you patriots be the first to lose jobs, pay the extra money for holidays and goods and go to the back of the line for healthcare. Offer up a euro passport and just see how many brexiteers apply for them. What people like you have done is put people on the dole and made life harder for the rest. All for a nice blue passport - now made in the EU... and yes it will take decades to fix - Reesmogg mentioned 50. Fool Brittania.
