How are Labour doing after their first 12 months

Tbph mate, I thought Labour had promised to go after them, well that's certainly what I was hoping, that Malone woman, have I got the name right, and all the other shysters that benefitted from it. Trouble is Archers that requires proper investigation work, not sitting at a desk like Solid, in his SS uniform getting results off Mrs Smith who has just flown with Easy Jet on a £30 budget ticket. Now if Mrs Smith's husband had a super yacht, I might then agree, but we'd never know, because they would never leave the ****ing office to find out, they spend their whole lunch break at the Post Office trying to pay their vehicle excise, while brb is wheeling his new Tonka toys around.


Can you still pay your car tax at the Post Office?

Anyway talking of the Post Office, I remember going along to one quite some time back, because I had a card through the door saying they couldn't deliver. Only to be told at the office counter, we are the Post Office sir, you need to go to Royal Mail, my eyes sort of squinted, thinking she's right, then saying this is exactly what I told the Mrs and she was insistent I came here, before turning and scuttling off.

Yep, before privatisation, when I was still on the post, there was three businesses under the same umbrella; Royal Mail Letters, Parcel Force, and Post Office Counters Ltd (POCL). Working for POCL used to be the considered the best career option once, but computers and the internet changed all that.
I got out at the right time, they’re all a bit **** to work for now, and going nowhere.

Lawyers for Jeffrey Epstein’s estate have given Congress a copy of the birthday book put together for the financier’s 50th birthday, which includes a letter with Trump’s signature that he has said doesn’t exist.

On Monday, House Oversight Committee members confirmed that they received a copy of the birthday book including the letter bearing Trump’s signature. “President Trump called the Epstein investigation a hoax and claimed that his birthday note didn’t exist. Now we know that Donald Trump was lying and is doing everything he can to cover up the truth,” said Rep. Robert Garcia (D., Calif.), who is the committee’s Democratic ranking member. “Enough of the games and lies, release the full files now.”

The Wall Street Journal in July reported on the book and the letter bearing Trump’s name, which contained typewritten text framed by the outline of a naked woman. The letter concluded: “Happy Birthday — and may every day be another wonderful secret.” The signature was a squiggly “Donald” below the waist, mimicking pubic hair.

Trump has denied writing the letter or drawing the picture, calling it “a fake thing.” He also filed a lawsuit against the Journal’s reporters, Journal publisher Dow Jones, parent company News Corp and executives, alleging defamation and saying the letter was “nonexistent.” A Dow Jones spokeswoman said, “We have full confidence in the rigor and accuracy of our reporting.

” Karoline Leavitt, the White House press secretary, didn’t immediately respond Monday to a request for comment.

I don't normally take any notice of this ****, but this looked important so I thought of interest. That's the thing with me, cut out all the bolloxs and cut to the chase. Just give me facts and not all the ****ing dribble in between, that is more managable to understand.

He wrote a book he said he didn't write, and the journalist has a signed copy of it. I've seen various signature matches on the topic that I've not posted here, and imho they match.

It's all that's needed, case settled, guilty as charged.

If I thought that the best way of getting them out of the situation was for me to go the difficult route and them follow on legally then yes I definitely would.

I support the government rules for migrants applying to work in the UK and bring their families. I don’t think these rules should apply to approved refugees or the dependents, or for that, the foreign dependants of British nationals returning to reside in the UK.

Well that's where we differ with all respect... I wouldn't leave mine for any reason, but I get your point ... but my point goes wider than that ... we now have a real problem with more and more people, many historically 'moderate', beginning to resent ANY asylum seekers, because the right wing propaganda - "the vast majority are all young men of fighting age..." etc, etc combined with isolated incidents of abuse / dubious behaviour by asylum seeking men towards young British girls / women - is starting to gain more popular credence - not everyone demonstrating outside hotels is a 20 stone slap head covered in tatoos whilst draped in the Cross of Saint George ... so any Government initiative aimed at diluting the negativity - such as constraints on the related costs to the British taxpayer can only have a positive impact on general perception ... IMHO

What is needed is more people like you to show us pics of the women and children coming in because we all know that in times of crisis it's women and children first to be got out of harms way.


For normal people.

I expect a full invasion of Chicago to move the focus on from this.
