Ah yes, 1997, after the tories got wiped out in the GE because of sleaze, economic mismanagement and disastrous privatisations like rail. Perhaps the solution is staring us in the face...

30 years ago we were in another tory inspired crash. Then the mortgage rate jumped to 15% causing a housing crash and all because we overpriced our currency and got forced out the ERM. Few people can afford 15% mortgages at any time.

Could get a job as Tarzan....

They're branded nowadays???

Gosh so peaceful 65 years ago with only Rosa Parks in recent memory and lots of lynchings and inadequate men in white pointy hats. When people would impose their opinions and kill those who disagreed. Yes, the good old days....

I give you 'iconic' which now seems to mean slightly unusual and also 'awesome' which used to mean terrifyingly shocking but now means quite good.

Wow - all those billions spent on vaccines and all we had to do was stuff our nose into a lemon. Isn't science great....

To complain you will need: - Several bottles of Lao Khow - Small sack of crystal meth - Some loaded handguns - A pick up Method: Ingest the Lao Khow and meth until very woozy. Jump in pick up and drive to noise source On arrival, fire guns randomly while shouting profanities. Soon you will hear no sounds whatsoever.

The Bee Gees were pretty keen on it....

Emergency room admissions diagnosis Ran out of cookies - 49% Cannot open peanut butter jar - 22% Can't find Rizlas - 12% Dark side of the moon scratched - 9% Left the meal cooking all night - 8%

So that is one conviction. Arrests do not equal conviction. One from a period of 10 years - it does appear that the effort being put into it is about zero.

The labour shortage is largely due to the number of British people 50-64 who have stopped becoming 'economically active' since covid. They could use the Albanians except of course, if they are claiming asylum they are not allowed to work until their claim is fully settled and those claims are being processed at a rate of 1.6 per officer per week. As a consequence of this deliberate under-staffing, claims are taking over 400 days. And while Sunak was whining on about how they have increased the number of officers by 500, he qualified it by saying that they would be in place by March 2023 i.e. they've only just started after the recent exposees.

The Channel Islands which is NOT part of the UK. 75% of these people are granted asylum (a vast majority from our bombing practice areas - Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria) and are therefore not illegal. The 'culture warriors' brigade don't understand this. Figures are for 2021 as no-one has been processed this year as the officers are only managing 1.65 claims a week (government policy). Claims are taking over 400 days on average. Also, as prevention is better than cure, tell me how many smuggler gangs have been successfully prosecuted in the last 10 years - some 'earning' up to £300K per boat load? Its like Thailand and its drug problem - pursue the little man and ignore the big fish - the problem remains and grows.

Democratic? Did they ask anyone?

I suppose up to now they have been comically monitoring them.

These authoritarian governments have failed over the decades and created the very problem they complain about so how about turn down the authoritarianism so the chances of protests reduce and the need for weapons reduce. Being more authoritarian just won't work and make the problem even worse.

And what did their voice say? Mumble, mumble, tourists, oil, mumble.......

Proactive measures: 1 - Stop driving like a dick err... that's it

Highly important and almost completely useless it would seem.

There is a small matter of the Parliamentary Privileges Committee report which could well conclude that he deliberately misled parliament (mainly because he did). That could bar him from office permanently. Hopefully...

I'm proud to announce that my back yard has been voted top international back yard of the year by highly regarded Really Important Business People magazine. It was commended on having a phone signal (with internet) and a nice folding chair and a swingball.

What's that thing growing out the top of her head? Is it an aerial?

Stole or purchased?

Only a short time before the first cars will be plummeting off the high bridges (because of rain/brake failure/microsleep etc)

Have you tried driving in your sleep?
