What the streets used to look like in the UK before privatisation took over (circa 1990โ€™s)

No Potholes, Paths and Roads generally maintained to a good condition.

Yeah, true, however they all call for that, but only two MPโ€™s in the last 20 years have called for and had by-elections after switching sides, both MPโ€™s went to UKIP, Mark Reckless and Douglas Carswell,

Quite a few seem upset that Labour have been forced to abandon plans to put back local elections.

Elections/democracy (such as it is) is important, no matter who may win or lose.

Iโ€™m so bored with this, The EUref was done over 10 years ago, and whatโ€™s happened has happened, constantly going back and revisiting the past is pointless, people need to move on from this and look to the future, be that the UK (re)joining or whatever.

Yeah, I get sometimes that it might rain heavier that what the drainage is designed for, seen it a few times over the years, mostly from the safety and dryness of my ๐Ÿšš,

Luckily, there wasnโ€™t any damage from over filling, vehicle had only been running 25 minutes on a light load, so managed to catch it in time!

Literally, I caught it with my hands๐Ÿ˜‚

China has planted so many trees around the Taklamakan Desert that it's turned this 'biological void' into a carbon sink Huge-scale ecological engineering around the edges of one of the world's largest and driest deserts has turned it into a carbon sink that absorbs more CO2 than it emits, research suggests.

But..But China is evil they say!!

Oh yeah, thats defo my opinion about Farage as well, which makes it more confusing as to why Labour isnโ€™t going for the easy wins, Roads, cycle paths and footpaths are double winners , both for local and national governments

I get why people are unhappy with Labour at a national and local level.

Getting the roads,Pavements and cycle lanes fixed is one of the easiest and most noticeable things they could do.
