  1. Thank you, I do understand the snide, spite snd envy laced use of the term ‘Champagne Socialist’. It’s founded on the false idea that being wealthy somehow precludes wanting things to be better for those less fortunate.
  2. Let’s add ‘post code envy’ to your list of demons.
  3. There’s more than a bit of class hatred and envy in the use of the term ‘Champagne Socialist’ Either envy of wealth or despising those who ‘done good’ for themselves.
  4. I suggest you look into who is the Director General of the BBC.
  5. And your source of the ‘correct and verifiable truth’ is ?
  6. Don’t let facts try to get in the way of a rightwing rant.
  7. Although there are concerned efforts by some to take the world back to that evil madness.
  8. I reckon you can identify someone sharing your nationality and likewise someone who bogusly claimed to be of your nationality without ever seeing their passport. It’s not rocket science. Recruit to the immigration service native speakers born and raised in the countries from which migrants are arriving.
  9. Seems like someone (hint a Tory Government) should not have stripped funding and staff from the immigration service.
  10. J6?was an attempt To overthrow the election. Definitely way worse than stuff attributed to BLM.
  11. I am indeed. So you want to blame the political party that was not in Government for the failings of a Tory Government with an unassailable majority in parliament.
  12. Check the score board. Economy, jobs, unemployment, stock market….
  13. Can you remind me, which Labour Government was that?
  14. Good to see there’s non of the ‘Good people on both sides’ obfuscation.
  15. Farage runs his mouth on a lot of things, it’s his MO. However, he now he has a problem; as the leader of a ‘political party’ he faces questioning that he did not face as an independent carnival barker. It’s not something he’s good at. When news broke, a day or so before Farage was to be interviewed by BBC Panorama, that a ‘Reform UK’ candidate has a history of arguing Britain should have cut a deal with Hitler, and that he remains a ‘Reform UK’ candidate, Farage canceled his interview. He’s good at barking, but he’s incapable of facing direct questioning. Farage will continue to bark, make promises he knows he will never be called on to deliver and blame everyone else for failure of other cons he was involved in. caveat emptor.
  16. Your question is simple enough, no surprises there, but why you direct it at me is a complete mystery. I’ll ask again, as simply as I can. What on earth are you on about?
  17. So access based on actually intending to resettle or on lying about the intent to resettle (AKA not entitled). But not based on NI contributions.
  18. You might well have done, but you migrated to live outside the UK. As you are not normally resident in the UK you are not r titled to free ‘secondary’ NHS care. https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/scotland/health/help-with-health-costs/nhs-charges-for-people-from-abroad/#:~:text=A patient doesn't need,to secondary (hospital) care.
  19. I think the truth of what I say has been noticed by the electorate. I very much look forward to the ejection results.
  20. You can set your bike as an e-bike in STRAVA Add your bike to the ‘Gear’ register then set the bike type as e-bike. STRAVA are rolling out AI segment monitors that will remove your record if not identified correctly.
  21. There’s been a couple of incidents in cycle racing in which what is referred to as ‘mechanical doping’ has been confirmed to have occurred and quite a few in which it has been suspected. ’Mechanical doping’ being the use of an electric motor assist. The most notable example was Femke Van den Driessche who got caught using a motor at the Women’s Under 23 race of the UCI Cyclocross World Championships in January 2016. More recently a French rider got caught in an amateur event, and tried to escape in a his van with a race official sprawled on the hood. Interestingly the motor being used by ‘mechanical/motor dopers’ are relatively low power of 50W, however that’s the kind of power boost that would make a significant impact in a climb or a sprint. As a STRAVA user you are probably aware there are many riders who go hunting KOM’s on e-bikes. It’s madness, they fool only themselves. Anyway, enjoy your e-bike, I’m sure to get one eventually, and certainly would consider a cargo bike right now.
