And me Goldie
Only if you can supply an anger management course completion certificate
To be fair I’ve always thought of doing one of them….but got angry at the thought of it.
Glad to see I’m not on ignore
He can't get his own TV show though. As I've said before, only one or two compliant pussies go on his show for interview because he's known as a crafty ambusher.
Only silly people get upset on here and put people on ignore

If anyone is interested in getting some background and understanding of what happened in Russia during the weekend, this is a good podcast to listen to.
Well recommended and not slanted to either side
So left wing they had a super gammon QT special from the gammoniest town in Gammonshire featuring Ben Habib and John Redwood.
This was to counter the poison pouring from Alistair Campbell's mouth on a Brexit Special QT.
Campbell is a war criminal responsible for the deaths of thousands…..never forget that
Arguably yes but it doesn’t make him any less right about Brexit or the Tories.
Water companies planning to put bills up by 40% to pay for their lack of investment in infrastructure and dumping sewage in rivers and the sea.
This morning our water pressure has collapsed due to a burst water main a couple of hundred yards away, so I’ve got my credit card at the ready.
Now I’m not a massive fan of nationalised industries, at least not the way that the U.K. used to run industries in public ownership. But I’m struggling to think of any of the formerly nationalised now privatised industries that can be described as a success, certainly not for the consumer. They are either failed/failing and being bailed out by the taxpayer, long ago disappeared like British Leyland, or no longer actually British, like Jaguar and British Airways.
Still, we’ve had a lot of fun spending billions pretending to ‘regulate’ these industries and a few people have got rich through dividends and share trading, so it probably has worked exactly they way the policy intended.

Just makes him a complete ****, a liar, and a ****ing horrible **** then….and his views on Brexit are, like Blair’s, all for his own agenda
Yes I did. This is not just about them though, they are yet another example of the cesspit. Turns out they are mostly owned by pension funds, so of course we will have to bail them out not only so Londoners have water but also so that some pensioners can eat.
It was an example…a massive example…of what you are saying.
Instead of profits being used to repair leaks and improve infrastructure, they have been handed out to investors.
Of course they should be renationalised
