    I've done my best to keep out of most of it, as I've seen it all before, and it doesn't get any more interesting, or less embarrassing, but I still get dragged in. Hey ho.

    Anyway, we're beating the Taffs one nil in their midden, so life's good. <ok>

    Let's face facts.

    Brexit is an absolute shower.

    Not sure what part of the 18 seconds was an “explaination” of inflation.

    It was pointing out the bleeding obvious by somebody who apparently has a worse approval rating than Sleepy Joe but was awake when they wanted to ask somebody about it.

    Once they have frittered away the $2 trillion from the “Build Back Better” Act, how much will ‘gas’ cost for Sleepy Joe’s 20 Hummer motorcade across the nation’s capital? This top-down “levelling up” is doomed to failure but has converted Bolshevik Boris to the cause here (anything populist to get Red Wall votes).

    No babies allowed in Commons, MP Stella Creasy told

    Clearly having children has addled Stella Creasy’s miniscule mind. “Mothers in the mother of all parliament are not to be seen or heard it seems....” If she had half a brain, she could look around the House of Commons and spot mothers on the benches around her. Try looking on the Labour front bench at the Shadow Chancellor, love.

    They have two wailing brats in the Commons who stand up every Wednesday and rant at each other and that is probably two too many. No point changing their nappies as they are always full of sh*t.

    On the pittance of an MP’s salary, can Ms Creasy not afford child care? She should demand a pay rise – Boris said that everyone was getting one. Poor Stella, struggling for the oxygen of publicity as her second job of mother does not pay anything.

    Taxpayers Alliance DUNCAN SIMPSON has plan for civil service reform

    What do the people at Taxpayers Alliance do to fill their days? They are almost as bad as the Civil Service, telling us what we have known for decades: the Civil Service is stuffed with pointless paperclip counters, jobs for lifers waiting to start collecting their generous pensions paid for by the rest of us while doing bugger all.

    In their defence, the Civil Service would probably have come up with a not fit for purpose Track and Trace system for less than £37bn but they would not be delivering it until 2025 for a tenth of the price. Who cares about the HMRC digital tax system not working? If people do not pay the right taxes then they will have to axe some civil servants. Or Socialist Sunak will have to pluck some more money from the Magic Money Tree...

    Nothing to do with Brexit, but why let the facts get in the way of another crazed Remainer whinge? <doh>

    All that is unclear is whether you actually bothered to read the piece or have any idea what is going on in the real world. Still a brain dead loser...

    I've pointed out before that people that get all out of shape over a political party, don't really grasp how the system works. Politicians know they're only liable to be in office until the next election, and even if they get to upper levels, will be moved from Department to Department, which means they rely heavily on the information they get from the backroom staff, who are playing their own, longer career game.

    I'd scrap party politics, remove the MP layer, and have each area represented centrally by a leader from the local elections.

    Looking stupid and ignorant is better than being ignored for some. They bring **** all to the table but piss poor attempts at disruption.

    According to the FDF, the food and drink industry is short of about half a million workers - or one in eight of the total workforce - which is leading to supply chain issues.

    I wonder why they're short on workers?

    It literally blames supply chain issues on the pandemic and Brexit in the article ffs <laugh>

    What the **** is going on in the Met?

    It's eventually the right outcome, but what's going on that leaves someone in the force even thinking of doing this?

    Bibaa Henry and Nicole Smallman: Met PCs sacked over 'dead birds' messages.

    Two Met officers who took photos of two murdered sisters and described them as "dead birds" in WhatsApp messages to the public have been sacked following a tribunal.

    PC Deniz Jaffer and PC Jamie Lewis were sent to Fryent Country Park in Wembley last June after the bodies of Nicole Smallman and Bibaa Henry were found.

    The pair previously admitted taking and sharing photographs of the women.
