    bye bye Blackford almost a Wurzel song!!
    Has run out of A4 paper and the 5 year long argument brought up in over 120 PMQ's has finally been brought to rest! now banished to the depths of the referendum committee to live out his days!!! might get 1 more PMQ's if he is lucky or indeed wants to be shot down 1 more time .maybe Nicola will be next?

    he has but never contributed anything useful He was elected on the premise of lobbying for 2ND REFERENDUM as was Nicola ... when they lost out and the previous group of SNP resigned they picked up the batten and straight away picked holes in the first one and said the people of Scotland want to leave ... a real case of .... well I voted no BUT really meant to vote yes so lets make it a re run ... just in case enough decide not to vote no again and those that didnt vote who were peeeed off with the NO winning decide to wander into the next one and vote!
    How long is a generation????? one has to say at least 18 years maybe 21 or even 30 [ as that would fit in with an average of 30 years to age 90 ] (GT GRAND CHILD) GRAND CHILD (BORN ) ... CHILD (30) ..... PARENT (60).... GRAND PARENT (90)

    OH 4!

    "He [ Zahawi ] suggested some of the pay rises demanded would further stroke inflation - which is the increase in the price of something over time - which would "hurt the most vulnerable".
    The government has repeatedly urged unions and employers to negotiate settlements and halt strike action, saying it can not afford pay rises to cover inflation.
    But unions say workers have faced real-terms cuts to pay over many years and deserve a fair deal that reflects the current cost of living."

    Labour are loving it, and their MP'S are stoking it, a determined attempt to push inflation to even greater painful heights for the poorer elements of the population .. like Putrid weaponising energy Labour is weaponising inflation. Look at the protective shield around MP's of all parties. They get expenses to work! but on top of that their wages are guaranteed and when they become "non MP" they get a livable pension! Take a normal say shop worker / office worker / or warehouse operative they might have to pay to go on a bus/ pay parking/ etc stop work then no pay [ but nowadays pensions are contributable ] go on strike then get no money ... unless union has a payment scheme to pay a small some . NOW the leaders of the unions who cajole the workers into striking visit the picket lines and go home... fully paid no reduction if their members are on strike ... have a good nights sleep and get the expenses to likely go another picket line ...

    You have to believe that the people at the top should have some sort of IQ .. MAYBE NOT at a higher rate than average [ or below it ] to be able to work out the suffering it will cause to the general public. They are mostly jobsworth's needing the members to keep paying in.. to pay their wages [union ] and expenses and keep on putting them on the picket line regularly to strike for money thus perpetuating their job [ union leaders ] and fuelling inflation.

    From a Labour point of view, in consideration of the present economy and inflation, one would have thought theywould be trying togetit down because should they heaven forbid win the next GE THEN THEY WILL have a mountain to climb!!!!... BUT of course we all know how they deal with it .. borrow build up debt reduce are financial rating ... get the country into another blackhole and then lose out at a GE and leave it for next .GOV to sort ....AGAIN! Mind you they can add " member of the governing party of the UK to their CV .. or ad ex PM / ex Cabinet minister to their title ................. the minions that have paid have their dues to the union paymasters are really no better off some have lost jobs some now worse off financially ....

    HEY ITS ENGLAND v SENEGAL ..... coming up ... roll on

    PMQ'S usual KS q's put down by RS but a major change to his, KS receiving a final humiliating bashing KS brought up the StrepA outbreak

    One point that seems to be in the news and is being bandied about as a dead cert ... MONE BANKED £30m from recommending the PPE company. One wonders what will be the response if it is proven she didnt get £30mor indeed any part of it! The guardian would of course be in breach, KS because he put it in such a way in Parliament would be exempt?

    £30m of £203m is equal to 15% of the contract value .... seems rather a lot?
    Also the shadow minister is supposed to have been part the collective [ all parties ] that were part of the rush to put forward names/places/contacts in those early weeks!
    the third labour MP to get ask the same question had justfinished and the sound on my computer went !!!!! been on the phone since to get hold of my care and repair but seems to taking rather a long time

    Those of us who align themselves to political parties can throw **** at each other, but the fact is we are economically in the **** and need to dig ourselves out asap.

    I have a "friend/ acquaintance " who is just like yourself! He is a conspiracy theorist, first time I went to his house he showed me his library! We both have the same sporting hobby and interest so thought I would be seeing his collection of books on it ..... WRONG ... ... he spent almost an hour showing me all these books on conspiracy ... a load of conspiracy video's and some "fellow conspiracy letters and things he had recieved in the post". about 60 books untold video/ 30 or letters ....
    Can you beat that? :emoticon-0138-think ... maybe!

    You should read up on it without thinking it must be a conspiracy, the deeply you delve into it all, the more it makes perfect sense..
    If you really think that the big corporates/banks etc aren't dictating what goes on around the world, as much as you think I'm a conspiracy theorist I'd be thinking you are completely deluded.........
    I don't read books on conspiracy!! or watch conspiracy videos!!......
    Research it properly without being influenced by what is being reported in the main stream...( I know you won't)!!

    Mick taker LYNCH in argument about his strike ......
    The boss of the UK's biggest rail union has accused the BBC of showing bias in its coverage of the rail strikes, insisting support for the walkouts amongst its members is not dropping.

    In a heated exchange on the Today programme, Mick Lynch refused to answer how much pay union members had lost through strike action.
    He accused the BBC of "parroting" the right-wing press.
    Presenter Mishal Husain defended the questions, as more strikes take place.
    During the interview, Mr Lynch was asked what was the average amount of pay lost by union members through strike action.
    He replied that it depended on what shift they were working, what rate of pay they earned and how many occasions they walked out, adding that his members were "making a considerable sacrifice".
    What wasnt asked is How much are you losing Mick!.... and if you want Christmas off why not take some holiday time and have it!

    RAILWAY WORKERS are supposed to be on an average of 40k a year ... = to 52 x 5 or 52 /4 days take the 5 day weekers = 260 days = £150 aday [ ish ] so a 15 days means they have lost £2000 - £2500 and Christmas is on us! A pensioner gets somewhere between £800 - £1200 a month to live on! they get around £2500 ..... after tax
