NJS

I said before the pressure really started on Johnson that if they replaced him with Sunak then there would be virtually no difference between the parties on policies - especially economic ones . I know the membership being batshit now makes that look unlikely so we're back to hoping for a tory self-destruct to allow Labour to win by default. I see no sign of Starmer being a bait and switcher, especially with Reeves. I know it's an easy insult but I really can't see why the latter didn't join the tory party or indeed why the fuck she joined Labour.

I could take Starmer's "growth" stuff if it mentioned redistribution but it doesn't - you can grow this economy as much as you want but if it continues to diverge as it has done then it's a complete waste of time.

Thing is, for people who've paid off their mortgage and have savings, 7% base rates sound desirable - i. e. Tory members/voters.

As I've said before they can't /won't fix it or anything else as once in power you have to appease the people who put you there ahead of anything that's right. Even a renegotiated trade deal with the EU would be seen and sold as treason by the press and the tories.

Me as well please. I've been using an iptv provider which is perfect 90% of the time but that 10% is annoying as fuck.

Every time he appears I imagine someone having the guts to ask him "Why are so many white supremacists fat messes like you?"

It's directed by the tory press who'll weaponise it against Labour when strikes happen and at the election. I'm not expecting a firm commitment to reverse it.

fair enough. I went from the Opticians via the NHS who referred me to a private clinic who after about 3 months and two assessments, cancelled my surgery the day before it was due as they couldn't work out which lens to use as a complication of me having them lasered 24 years ago. I went through work, was seen the same day and operated on 5 days later. Its a shitter that at times made my skin crawl but I haven't come to regret it (yet).....

It was a private hospital, she mainly agreed with him.

When I was awaiting my eye surgery last week, the bloke in the next individual day ward was talking to the nurse about how "Boris" had been stabbed in the back and how it was terrible as he'd done a great job. Also Starmer's curry thing was "exactly the same thing" as all of the Downing Street parties and he was therefore untrustworthy. Thankfully judging by his medical conditions, eye aside, the cunt will be dead before the next election but still...

That's a grammar atrocity.

Cummings reckons she's an idiot and also reckons Johnson is supporting her so he can stand again when it quickly goes tits up. Very feasible.

Who the fuck is Jack Clarke?

Almiron, Fraser and Murphy need upgrading - I guess we knew that before but still.

Bit of a Smooth FM DJ commentating.

It's the result of 40 years of being told individualism is okay - though it's the people who've lived through all of that who are bigger cunts than younger people.

And including Man City's owners.

I keep thinking about it every heatwave but haven't bothered - especially when out all day in the old world. Towards 40 is ridiculous so thought it was time.

I've had a panicked sheep moment and have ordered a portable aircon unit for delivery tomorrow. I know they aren't ideal and might be a bit shit but hopefully will make some difference.

Then named Dubravka as Pope.

Used to drink in the New Crown for years.

So far so good - no problems and might be too early to say but the outcome looks promising vision wise. Thanks for asking.

I'm probably the only fucker with it still enabled (more by accident than design) but I've just had my first ever close contact notification from the Covid-19 app. It's for Monday when I was in the office but I didn't particularly mix with anyone but I suppose there's the train as well. I did an LFT yesterday anyway as I went in for my cataract surgery and feel fine covid wise so probably okay.

I'm sure they'll have thought of the shooter having armor piercing bullets won't they?

She's been quite LGBT friendly in the past supposedly but now seems to be joining the rest in throwing the Ts under the bus to prove her anti-woke credentials. Even Hunt and Tugendhat have gone all out appease the nutters, supporting the Rwanda thing as another example.
