    It's about openness and understanding, nothing material.
    Even the rich can find themselves destitute with even the slightest of missteps.

    Really good interview with Jack Straw on BBC now. He says that the expectation at the campaign commencement would be that they would be lucky to hang on to what they had. He sights 3 things that brought the result. 1. The dementia tax u turn. 2. The I, I, I, I approach to the campaign and not individual policies 3. That she would not engage with supporters and the non debate appearance was key. Also that how much Corbyn enjoyed the meetings something which she is patently not good at.

    There's plenty of people of all ages that have a sense of entitlement so don't label it all on the young that you're so envious of.

    I didn't think there many less funny political comics than Ben Elton, but we've found one.

    It's almost like you can read my mind...
    If you've put in the years of graft, saving, **** jobs, doing your bit how you can and when you can, making sacrifices.......maybe just maybe you should be allowed to get summat back?

    I recommend speaking to people on the streets and finding out how they got there. It would open your eyes at least a little bit.

    Trouble understanding the cabinet appointments or lack of changes announced... From what has been said today, it was partly Hammond and Davies that pushed for the snap election and yet!!!!...

    Good post.
    That toss pot Boris was asked by Evan Davis a couple of years ago if it's fair at the amount of money that London sucks out of the rest of Britain.
    He asked him if it would be better spreading the money out.
    Boris disagreed and said it should be piled up like Jam in London then let it spread.
    We all know that's a bollox statement.

    Yes and there's plenty that don't intend to work and you'd be naive to believe otherwise.
    Jesus I've got friends and in laws that are masters at it.
    Obvs there's also plenty that will work.

    Aye agreed, it's been a good thread.

    Lambo must be even greyer now mind, but I'd also like to say thanks to him, he's done a grand job with a light touch.

    Regarding Labour, it's down to who Corbyn selects as his shadow cabinet. More of Abbot, more of McDonnell, and their ilk and I think you'll find they'll remain the bridesmaid.
