    If only you could manage to start with something factual (that you subsequently contradicted).

    The chairman of JD Wetherspoon, Tim Martin, did found the business over forty years ago. As JD Wetherspoon is listed on the London Stock Exchange, the “owner” is actually the shareholders. He does not retain a majority holding and more than a third of the company’s employees have free shares from a bonus scheme.

    You are a ****er.

    You cannot fill the place on your own. You being an alcoholic and a sexual predator does not make everyone else the same.

    Freely available evidence would suggest Wetherspoon is a reputable business. It paid £5.6bn in taxes between 2012 and 2021 (£764.4m in 2019) and has issued 20.6m shares to employees on the company bonus scheme since 2003 (in 2019 it paid £46m in bonuses and shares to employees: 58 per cent of the company’s profits). Since 2006, Wetherspoon have paid £454m in bonuses and shares to employees (49.3 per cent of profits). What a terrible way for a large publicly listed company to treat its 40,670 staff. They are so bad that they keep getting nominated as a top employer by the Top Employers Institute. Anybody scoffing at this business clearly knows nothing about it at all.

    During and after the Brexit debate and vote, Tim Martin was a Brexit advocate and he regularly used his column in the Wetherspoon News magazine to give his opinions. He also used the same in-house magazine to replicate articles from the mainstream media both for and against Brexit so that patrons reading the magazine could form their own opinions. That would seem to be the action of a reasonable person who welcomed open discussion of both points of view, certainly a bit more balanced that various mainstream media outlets.

    My God!

    He spends his Friday nights googling Wetherspoons into the wee sma hours to come on here to bore us all to tears regurgitating facts and figures that not one cùnt gives a fùck about.

    He truly is the world's most tedious person!

    Mind you he probably did all that work in the afternoon but didn't get a chance to hit the post reply button.

    Just another in the long list of things the luvvies support, that turn out to be incredibly damaging.

    No danger of thermometers going above 19 degrees here, unless we start burning the bodies of all the people who freeze to death.

    The mainstream media and the gutter press like The Grauniad and The Daily Fail have a ****ing lot to answer for.

    Pushing for harder, longer lockdowns and now all of a sudden wondering why there are so many financial, physical and mental health issues from which most of the world will take decades to recover from, if it all.

    And the Grauniad is still pushing the net zero, carbon neutral nonsense which will even further damage world health and economies <doh>

    Have the twats even touched on what is happening throughout Europe with governments buying up vast quantities of farmers land and forcing them out of business? Have they even got the balls to ask why this is happening? No of course not. The likes of the BBC and The Grauniad are funded by Bill Gates, coincidentally who has been buying up vast swathes of land in the USA.

    Get ****ed mainstream media, you are part of the problem.

    It was quite cold here last night. I never put the heating on before October though.

    If you call opening your front door and stepping into an oven “slightly above normal” btw, your description of the August heatwave is accurate. Not that you’d know what normal is ffs.

    Hmm, decisions, decisions. Do I want to fall in with the luvvies on here, who have advocated measures that have formed part of decades of abuse and death through grooming gangs, lockdowns, gender related child abuse based on **** 'science'...

    Maybe one or two of them will start to accept their part in these tragedies, and accept that the world is not a binary place.

    Aye, but it was the hottest it has ever been....apart from the bulk of the earth's existence, when it was far, far hotter.

    Mind you, science and events have shown that their ideology called it wrong on almost every issue, so maybe this could finally be one they've got right, or....

    Plenty of orcs in the UK ripe for a kicking.
    But its difficult to difference them from the far left and trannys, so will have to club them all together as one big target
