How grotesque.

In UK air ambulance is free. Itโ€™s a charity.

I find I can sometimes go down the rabbit hole on Social Media. Exactly what can you expect from a Political Party. Itโ€™s not possible to serve everyone, on the other hand itโ€™s not right to only serve yourself.

Now the trade guys have to focus their attention on tariffs which will undoubtedly be a one term wonder.

Will be interesting to see to see how quickly global trade turns around post Trump. My guess is not long.

They saw you coming.

Love the spa - itโ€™s actually more fun to watch than the feeder.

Do not invest is my advice.

Good grief โ€ฆ he has zero class. Itโ€™s gold or more gold !

I canโ€™t give individual donations. There are too many but I will give a donation to the Red Crescent.

Essentially itโ€™s US v every Country on which they have exacted tariffs. Good luck with that โ€ฆ

You should have known.

The assumption is that asylum seekers can be returned to their Country of origin. Can he explain exactly how that works ?

She surely doesnโ€™t have any such scruples nowadays. Itโ€™s a mean trick to get someone expelled at 14, as the tests would be irrelevant.

Very few people, who vote for Farage think he can return people crossing in small boats to France. They conclude that if the UK leaves ECHR he will return them to their Country of origin. Why donโ€™t the Media ask him this question and then look at the associated difficulties ?

Sorry - this was a stupid statement by me, projecting further cuts to healthcare.

Thatโ€™s how people caught syphilis.

They can always be replaced.

What can we deduce from this ?

On that basis you would think they would want migrants.

They want their pensions though.

Gosh - how many fortnights is that ?

There is a lot to like about the EV but parking isnโ€™t one of them. Reverse parking is ok because of the camera but UK parking spaces are tight. Anyway I donโ€™t really need a car this big but as a second hand car buyer, this was way the best car available.

The optimum strategy is to tell Trump โ€ฆ โ€œThis is what we agreed two weeks agoโ€.

06.08.2025 11:18 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Do it and blame Trump and tariffs.
