I know. The idea of a membership led party is great but the reality is that the same political β€˜advisors’ who lost the last election still think they should run things.

Im sure the Greens and other political parties are run as badly - they just keep it under wraps.

Will probably vote for them!

Good article as always. I find it astonishing that you can show people facts and figures but they’d still rather believe a YouTube video they once watched.

It’s a temporary name until the membership decides the real name.

Just by a simple bit of math you need to be 55 or over to remember 1975 at all … and β€˜most’ of the population isn’t over 55.

For the record i’m 63 and 1975 was largely shit though my team did win the league.

Anecdotal but when my brother was in prison, many of the other prisoners were there for minor drug offences (low level dealing), and street violence.

Many of them were first offenders learning the art of criminality while in prison. A good percentage were on remand.

You have to wonder at the mentality of people who shoot animals for fun - let alone shooting desperate civilians.

Think we’re more than one step down that road.

The resignations are being painted as being because the BBC is culturally Marxist and has a leftist bias.

Facts don’t seem to matter anymore.

My great grandfather(s) fought in WW1 not for high ideals - because they thought it’d be a lark. They were highly disparaging of the military and politicians snd their wars as they got older.

My mums uncle fought in WW2 because he was conscripted- & hated it. Again hated politicians & their lies

You had me at β€˜always be wary of politicians’.

Cynically, I’d say they’ve not been captured - political and economic institutions have always belonged to the wealthy - it’s only now becoming more obvious.

We don’t need a head of state. Parliament is sovereign.

You’re right. But is this all you are now Jeremy? A social media soundbite? Tell your careerist advisors to bugger off and go back to basics.

Agree. And yet Trump gets a pass.

Interesting that MSM have been pushing it as a likely Reform victory for weeks. I wonder what the agenda is?

Insane. You can have an A level in French and be unable to ask directions in Paris.

It’s because everything is about profit. Give someone Β£10m to build houses and most of it will be taken as profit by people who won’t ever lay a brick.

Plus there’s lots of money in acquiring land getting planning permission and selling on.

You don’t even have to build the β€˜affordable’ houses.

You had me until
You and Jeremy fell out and revealed it was the same old infighting careerists behind it all.

Last chance - what does your party offer that the Greens don’t?

Think Cameron should be much further down that list. A lot of today’s problems can be laid at his door for agreeing to the Brexit referendum. Major’s incompetence also gets a gloss over in that list.

One of the issues faced by ME sufferers is the lack of joined up approach favoured by the NHS. See a GP get referred for a standard blood test - find nothing wrong or refer you to a clinic that also finds nothing wrong - back to GP for more referrals and on …

Don’t get me started on the DHSS

You think to highly of the British Public. At least those who bother to vote.

I look around and I see people bombarded with information noise that some important like losing the right to protest fails to even register.

Things will only get worse until people wake up.

In this instance his distant ancestor was a bastard son of William the bastards dad - and indeed arrived by small boat and proceeded to act like a savage.

Chances of either 0.0.

I don’t think he’s suffering from dementia - more seemingly enjoying it.

The average working week is 32 hours and much of that is part time work. They don’t get Fridays off either. It’s a nice idea though.

As I said, evidence so far but lungs aren’t made to inhale chemicals.

I don’t think we have long term data on vaping and my guess is that in years to come well discover that it does cause harm.
