Labour seems to have lost touch with its core principles, and wandered into Tory territory.
("Wandered", or deliberately set up permanent camp there?)

The media have it in for them. There are a few green shoots if you look past the negative headlines, jury still out but there's over 4 years to go....

The moral of this video is
if you're ill, or might get ill in the future
and/or a loved one is ill, or might get ill in the future
and you're not a millionaire
don't vote Reform

Pubs which pop into my head tonight would be...
Beacon Hotel Sedgley
Birch Hall Beck Hole
Blue Bell York
Bridge Inn Topsham
Ask me again tomorrow it would probably be different!

It was the millennium. Landlords saw Β£ signs and charged. People had house parties instead, found it cheaper and more agreeable. I worked for Spoons in 99, they all shut at 8pm!
