Well I'll not bother then

I've got same problem as Gemmill (not the cinder toffee ankles problem) if there's not a diy solution, feel free to delete away.

Call a public inquiry into Russian influence on UK politics & democracy - Petitions

Well there's always the torries.

The away day lads on this forum live all over, one of them's from outer mongolia, well it's actually Wales but he lives in a Yurt, the drug addled raving hippie cunt, so you can understand my confusion.

We win, Hill Dickinson sounds like they make sausages and you know what sausages mean..................

This bits mental when you see it written down:

The non Reform parties (exc Tories obvs. because they've been up to their necks in it) should make it so it can't be ignored, make it a scandal by whatever means possible, they've got nowt to lose given parliamentary privelege etc. These Reform and MAGA, in the US, cunts don't play by the rules but the other sackless lot think "oh we can't do that, it's just not done" all the while progressively losing more and more because the other cunts do indeed do what's not done. I'd be calling Farage "the MP for Moscow" every time he's addressed, christ! get a suspension from the speaker that in itself would be news. Fuck the nicey nicey Rt Honourable stuff.

My Mrs and I often say, if we were younger there's no way (affordability or not) we'd blame anyone for not bringing kids into this world (we wouldn't). They're going to vote for the worst of the worst next election unless the Reform cunts links to Russia and racism are properly exposed, but sadly there's a large proportion of the population that are inherently racist so any such exposure probably won't cut it, but the Russia stuff might.

We only got our first mortgage (1981) because Mrs' brother's mother in law knew someone who worked at a building society, we'd have had no chance otherwise. Today it's all computer says no, back then it was accounting ledger bloke says no. On the subject of repossessions, that's another racket, if a bank repossesses your home you get fuck all, surely once the assett is liquidated the bank get their initial loan back plus accrued interest and surely it should be that any residual balance should go to the homeowner (believe that's what happens in the States). Banks, the markets and billionaires a bigger selection of cunts there has never been.

I know there's a problem and that many do not understand it, but it's not worth talking/fighting about why it's like that, the situation is and exists, how's it fixable is what needs the discussion. With regards to "earning your pension" I personally think that if you've contributed to the economy for 35+ years you actually should be entitled to something when you get old (now and in the future). Yeah it's unsustainable but the question should be "why is it unsustainable and how do we make it so for the benefit of everyone". When I was in my boomer pomp, millionaires were the top of the tree with a smattering of multi-millionaires (usually Dukes etc. with the odd captain of industry), billionaires were unheard of, now there's hundreds if not thousands of the cunts and they have an iron grip on political discourse globally (and the media). There's the bollocks that is trickle down economics, which doesn't exist, raging torrent up economics most certainly does. I believe in UBI, initial cost would be mental, but every trial has shown significant benefits to economies because the poor (normal people) spend their money energising an economy, it's the rich who hoard theirs. Philosophically I have no comprehension why anyone would want to be a billionaire and have more money than they could ever spend in several lifetimes.

Christ, that's mental/outrageous, surely they can't act on info from anyone who isn't a medical professional actually/specifically involved in your case and I would have thought if it had been someone like that they'd at least tip you off "I'm sorry but due to your condition we will have recommend etc. Etc. Etc". Fucking shit mate !!!!

But they shouldn't be, the problems exist, arguing about why is a waste of breath, it's the fixing of them that's the issue and I see no government (anywhere) prepared to even try.

No, it was you who brought me into it. The original winger was possibly Stanley Mathews btw.

Very good post, I just wanted to extract/highlight this bit as it basically encompasses the majority of Northern England boomers. The boomers in question who did support Thatcher/were Tories over years are the ones living in the £2 Million houses in Richmond upon Thames and the like. It's actually a southern England problem, in the main. I know of none of my peers who ever religiously voted for a Tory no matter where in the country they ended up. See also Brexity cunts.

Not at all, everyone does, and has done since time immemorial, some just don't incessantly whine about it.

Not really, I just tend to deal with whatever life throws at me and get on with it as best I can, however shit or tough it is.

Only if we can get in past the young mums. My turn to pay as well, fuck !!

What winds me up is the impression, on here, that it was all a piece of piss for everyone of my generation, it wasn't, and quality of life is about way more than just ooh you could bring up kids on one wage.

I'll be having brunch with my mate later and will be surrounded by the mums and toddlers again I'll be sure to sympathise with them about how tough it is for them.

If you had kids you went to one wage and there was no option, it wasn't a choice, and yes we survived but it was not easy. You'd think it was idyllic the way you're going on. Yes wages were higher in relative terms and stuff was cheaper and yes money went further largely because there was fuck all to spend it on and it was ONLY spent on necessities. Things only started to ease up a bit when the kids were in school. If there's anything to blame it's the suppression of wages and ballooned corporate profits WAY before some group of people who happened to be born/raised at a certain time. Not everyone (in fact few) had the benefit of providing kids with a silver spoon upbringing like yours.

Because you had to, there was no option, get married, have kids it was like "the unwritten law" or expectation of society and it was not easy. You're finding it hard, well here's a shock so did I, and my peers, BUT you get through it, We never once thought "oooh this is hard", no-one did, we just on with it as best we could, it's only looking back you realise how actually shit and hard it was, but I've never blamed anyone for it.

The French police (riot lads) treat their own no different, this oooh us victimised English fans bollocks is extremely scouse.

I have no issue with much of that, but that highlighted bit is laughable. If nowt else look at child mortality rates. Christ, if you generalised about ethnic minorities the way you generalise "boomers" you'd be perfect for Reform. This whole "generations" thing is yet more divisive bollocks invented to get folks worked up and divided about something, just in case there's nothing else working to keep the angst bubbling. It's quite frankly pathetic. It's basically slagging someone off because of the year they were born, an event over which they had no control. Those 1975-ers are well dodgy mind.

You said complacent for 4 minutes after half time, which is what I responded too, nowt about first half. Gordon wasn't complacent anyway, he was cowardly dogshit.
