    Does anyone have any faith whatsoever in politicians, of all sides, and their manifesto promises ?

    it’s being reported that the Tories are looking at breaking one of their major manifesto promises and raise the level of NI payments by at least 1%, they say to pay for a massive overhaul in social care.

    Forgetting the rights or wrongs about what it’s supposed to be used for, doesn’t this make a complete mockery of voting for any party, ‘cos once in power they do what the **** they want anyway ?

    I'd recommend a trip to your local theme park for a day on the roller coasters to cheer your miserable mush up

    Random Thought :

    Read a headline last week in one of the usual tabloids with the shock/horror banner of “Now lorry drivers are earning more than lawyers”.......it got me thinking,, who really is worth more to society in general and who deserves more ?
    Maybe the revolution HAS started and the virus has been the catalyst for a more just society.

    A cleaner is worth more than a politician......well it is to me anyway!
    It is a great question Stainsy and one ive pondered over many times. Some of the so called 'menial' jobs are so much more necessary than people sometimes realise.

    Amazing that some of the lowest paid people were all deemed to be the most essential under the toughest of lockdowns - bin-men, shop workers, delivery drivers, posties, utility workers - didn't see too many office workers floating about when we were out working. Maybe our worth is finally getting noticed, with pay for HGV drivers rocketing, hopefully this will trickle down to the rest of us

    The prices for most things are going through the roof at the moment and im wondering when the bubble will burst. My trade as an example has gone crazy! Earning upwards of £350 a day!!! and have a diary full until next february. Got a job on next week Venetian plastering which will be a 3 grand profit over 4 days!

    I'm having to turn down work as there's just too much of it at the moment, I just physically can't do it all - even when they start offering stupid money. Time to make hay whilst the sun is shining, who knows how long this will last
