Renton

For a sole earner but another thing about our society which has gone to shit is that families now have to have two people earning so that's about right. But try to bring up 2 or 3 kids on that man, with mortgages, transport costs, childcare, and now 6k utility bills. Fucking miserable at best, impossible at worst.

For the record, I certainly don't see SAFC as Liz Hurley. 🤪 Or Divine Brown for that matter. I see them more as Wendy from Breaking Bad.

Thread title. And they call us deluded.

Went I to my work for the first time in ages today. Decided to be brave and get the metro back via wallsend. Some fuckers tried to derail the train there. 15 mi ute inspection, the metro clear to go, it's broken down now at Howdon, completely. Half the passengers are the scum of the Earth, proper scary people. Waiting for a taxi. Fuck going into work.

Got to say, I love Macron's calm dignified response to Truss's latest disgrace, where she literally suggesed the French are our enemy. What a cunt that woman is, I am going to enjoy her being shown up like this time and time again. I really hope the Europeans see it like Macron, we're fucking powerless against this atrocity of a government until the next GE.

At some point in SAFC's future, he is destined to be their owner, for real.

When I see posts like this I almost feel sorry for them?

Howay, this isn't stacking up. I was briefly in Wallsend yesterday as it happens (apologies to HMHM):

The commentator said the rule is it's not handball if the ball makes contact with the material on the T-shirt, rather than flesh, which I didn't know. Gave me an idea for our strip going forward......

That's a great article. How many of us have said almost exactly the same as Maitlis here? I think we all did except for the so called Doctor Groom, who my knowledge is the only person on here that works in the media......

I always remember the scene where the Goodies were in a spaceship and they opened a window and loads of stars fell in the space ship. They were ping pong balls. In hindsight I actually hated the Goodies. And the Pink Panther which was on at a similar time. Telly was really shit in the 70s.

Braverman as home secretrary Levelling-up isn't a real position tbf, but putting Rees-Mogg there is pure trolling that I imagine will just backfire. The standout for me is Braverman as home secretrary. And of course Truss herself as PM. Frankly unbelieveable it has come to this during the biggest crisis post WW2.

Seems quite ironic to get a royal commission to fix a democratic manner! I would agree though, but don't know how it would avoid being nobbled by the usual suspects. Lets be honbest, none of this will happen in our life times anyway.

Yeah, I know, fully agree. Whether a referendum abolishing FPTP for PR would ever pass in this country with Dr Gloom and his mates is another thing mind.

That would be a good result. If Labour can't win a clear majority now, they never will under FPTP. I was listening to an interesting podcast yesterday. Europe, especially central and Eastern Europe, is much more exposed to the energy crisis than us. But since the war in Ukraine the EU have effectively gone into a war footing to fix their infrastructure to stop their reliance on Russian gas. All EU countries cooperating to get this done. The work is estimated to be completed by Spring next year, meaning they're in for a very tough winter which most politicians are honest enough to tell their citizens. Meanwhile the UK, in potentially a much better position, has done fuck all to address the coming crisis through a combination of incompetence, corruption, and paralysis. And a media system that simply won't tell the truth to her majesty's subjects (we're not even citizens here).

It might be but reflecting the shit storm coming our way, which will fuck blue wall pensioners as much as everyone else (in fact moreso if Truss carries out her tax cuts which won't benefit them), I don't think its beyond possible that Labour could win an outright majority even without Scotland. Pretty much all the opinion polls indicate this will happen, latest ones show Labour on an incrediblke 120 majority. But I think this could be ironically disastrous long-term, giving Starmer a mandate like this. I want to force him into coalition, whther official or not, and make him realise that it is in Labour's interest to get PR in.

Nicolas Sturgeon, Michelle O'Neill? This isn't the change I want though. Get PR in, then federalise the UK. Andy Burnham might be the man for this. Someone has to.

I kind of agree but just think he hasn't got it in him to start the changes this country desperately needs, major constitutional change. We're in an existential crisis now and a safe pair of hands just doesn't cut it now imo.

Just scanning through this ancient thread, and came across this. Some foresight this like. I thought Alfie Allen was brilliant in this fwiw.

I dunno mate. Seems like a pyhrric victory to me, he'll be alright whatever happens to him after shafting us all. You're probably too young to remember the unseating of Portillo in 1997. That was truly glorious moment, but there were a lot of differences. The main one being the country was feeding on a wave of optimism with our best days ahead of us (which we had imo until the tories got back in and fucked it all more than ever before). Now they have robbed me of all hope and left us with the wet drip Starmer to look forward to at most (yes, my opinion on him is souring). I can't see anyway of getting out of this abyss but maybe that's my depression talking, hard to tell nowadays.

They didn't even bother doing an economic analysis of Johnson's Brexit deal. But nobody in the media gave a shit.

No government can survive this shit storm, inflation getting near 20% ffs. As thing are projected now Labour would win a 120 seat majority with key tories including Rees-Mogg, Peter Bone and Johnson himself being unseated. Also she is fucking awful to listen to. I find it hard to imagine she will get a blip let alone a bump.

Yeah, you're probably right. We are going to learn the hard way the importance of proper governance and evidence-based decision making very soon, in fact we already are. Truss may end up being the shortest serving PM for two centuries. They said Corbyn would reduce us to Venezuela and then did it themselves anyway for a laugh. I sincerely hope we can somehow recover from these cunts.

It's obviously going to be Truss now anyway so it's all academic. He'll not serve in her cabinet so I suspect (hope) that's the last we'll see of the cunt. As for Truss becoming PM, am I still in hospital lucid dreaming in some induced coma or something? I am finding this difficult to believe. What will be left of this country by the time of the next GE in 2 years and a bit?
