TBH healthcare* in the UK doesn't cost nothing. We pay for it in our taxes. It's just free at the point of delivery.

*Apart from optician services and dentists which we pay through the nose for. Thanks to the Tories 😑

We completed the purchase of our home in 6 weeks from offer to moving in day. It's perfectly possible if the will is there to push estate agents and solicitors.

Just fuck off with this. How about start the conversation by highlighting how much immigrants contribute to the UK - not least by propping up the NHS and social care system!

Also - forced volunteering is not volunteering, it's unpaid labour.

I have a friend who had triplets. One of them is autistic. How would that happen with this amazing new discovery?

Bloody fools.

My next vote will go to whoever talks about restoring freedom of movement and free trade with the EU

I can't believe we're still having the same moronic discussions about the ECHR. I thought ousting the Tories would have settled this? Apparently not 😑

High water bills, filthy rivers – and now drought. This is England's great artificial water crisis of 2025 | George Monbiot In its refusal to nationalise water, it’s clear the government operates in the interests of private capital and not of the country, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

How do you ensure a nation fails to cope with drought? Privatise its water system.

Almost everyone wants our water renationalised. Almost everyone, that is, except the government.

You know what? I'm 65, and I still have a mortgage because we downsized from a big home in mid Wales (therefore freeing up a family home) to be closer to family. And, it's just doubled. Not all 'boomers' are sitting pretty 🀨

Brexit was a monumental act of self harm and stupidity. That we have a government allowing it to continue is unforgivable.

Are we not using bank branches because they're all closing, or are they all closing because we don't use them? Chicken or egg.
