Surely you’re not referring to Lee Anderthal? πŸ˜‰

Farage is applying for a job.

That job is Prime Minister.

The only thing on his CV is Brexit.

He campaigned for it for 27 years.

So his only real track record is making everyone poorer & damaging the NHS.

If you hire Nigel & Reform, you must want this company (UK) to fail.

I don’t think I’ve ever said I support the idea of ID cards? Not sure why you’re venting your obvious anger at me? πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

There is no centrally maintained register of Smartphones as far as I know. I was simply quoting figures from the service providers. I have no idea (or any real interest) how accurate they are. Clearly, you’re very angry about it for some reason! Have a great day 😊

I must admit I doubted the figure when I read it!! That said, I don’t know anybody - of any age - who doesn’t have one! πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

We should try it!! Have a great day.

The figures from the mobile trade body suggests the figure is 95% across the population with 100% of under 24’s. There are far more registered smartphones in the UK than there are people. So, the vast majority of people do have one it seems.

98% of us already have one apparently so it shouldn’t cost too much πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

Reading posts on FB, I fear the fight against Farage and the populist right has already been lost. I truly despair πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ

Well, he earns at least Β£1m a year according to the press. So, I’m sure he could rustle it up. He has about 6 jobs πŸ˜‰

Oh dear. It just gets worse πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ And, to think, these people will be running the country in less than four years. It’s terrifying.

No. It’s Prue Leith’s lad. Perhaps she’ll bake him a cake to celebrate 🍰

There can be no appeasing these people. Whatever anybody (other than Farage) says or does will never be enough. There really is no point.

Thank you for educating me. Please ignore my earlier comments which were obviously incorrect πŸ™„

Yes. You’re absolutely right. I was just making the point that around 40% of all crops produced are fed directly to animals to be turned into meat (or milk). Never argued that a veggie diet doesn’t need water. That would be nonsense! Just need a lot less of it.

26.07.2025 14:56 β€” πŸ‘ 2    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

Just as damaging is growing vast amounts of crops to be fed to animals to be turned into meat.

Sadly, whatever the outcome of the β€œfight” it will still result in the bull’s death. The humans have a choice in this.

Send some of it over here to Derbyshire Paul. The reservoirs could really do with a top-up!
