    Couple of weeks back isaw someone who retired from work about 9 months before i did and we both feel almost guilty in that it will have little financial effect on us as we both own , no mortgage , our homes and can live comfortably on our occupational pensions which are safe .
    Mind you i was on the dole with 3 million others which was pretty grim tbh.

    You don’t think the government has ****ed this up, massively?

    £12 billion on a Track & Trace system that’s doesn’t work, on the simplest level? Confusing and contradictory messages sent out day after day? Taking the decision last month not to have a two week circuit break, and now we’re looking at a month?

    Seriously, you don’t think this government has been an unmitigated disaster?

    Brexit still to come btw. Not political. ****sakes.

    Every comment you make is a political bias one, you wouldn't know how not to <laugh>

    Anyway, I blame Labour personally, if they weren't so racist, we might have had an alternative option <whistle>

    Brexit <party>

    Did you miss the bit before when I said they had?

    Read back.

    The truth is, so would Labour. Anyone thinks otherwise is a gullible mug.

    Well when this all blows over, we can look forward to the return of Andy Burnham from political isolation (protection) as Manchester Mayor. He will no doubt be a popular choice for Labour leader with his trendy specs.

    Really hope those who work in pubs, restaurants etc are financially looked after...must be beyond stressful for them.

    **** knows how many of our kids are gonna go to school ... it's hard enough to get them in normally!

    Feel very lucky to be able to work.

    Be lucky people.

    By the way...genuine question... how and why the **** are we getting all the news from tv instead of the PM?

    ****ing hell, you could put a garden gnome in Downing Street and he’d do a better job than this Boris clown.

    Labour, Corbyn or Starmer, would no doubt have made plenty of mistakes and been hammered ten times more for them than the lot pretending to be in charge have. They’d have taken it seriously in the first place though rather than declaring it an opportunity to get one up on mainland Europe.

    Maybe my opinion is a gullible one though and no one could have possibly done more than Johnson’s government.

    Not sure pensions will be a thing by the time I’m old enough for one, assuming I get there.

    Probably be private/company pension only. It's going to become a problem anyway, because there will be people who can't work for health reasons, to 66-70. So it's still going to come out the state coffers either way. Raising the pension age solves nothing imho, it's all well and good saying people live longer, but it also means they fill up our hospitals and care homes. You've only to look at the number of people on here who have suffered some form of health condition, well under the state retirement age.

    If the Tories weren't in right now, it would mean that Corbyn had got in.

    Do I honestly think he'd have managed this situation? No, I don't.

    Good for you if you do, it can't be proved or disproved either way.

    I just find Starmer to be a smarmy **** who knows fine well he can't be found accountable for anything he says. Nice situation for him.

    Fair enough. Agree to disagree and both remain apolitical about it as we do so.

    Waiting for Boris to come outside Downing Street reminds me of the time I saw the Happy Mondays at Brixton Academy. They were over 2 hours late coming onstage, allegedly due to trying to wake Sean Ryder from a drug induced coma.

    I'm passing the time, watching the Hammers stick one over on Liverpool...that will probably last as long as a Boris decision.

    I’m in the uncomfortable position of wanting the Spammers to win. Not because I dislike Liverpool, and as for West Ham, they can **** off quite frankly. But I’ve had a bet with a very loud Liverpool supporting workmate, that they won’t win the title.
