    Sorry like but how can prices go up and executive salaries remain static ? If it’s a business it’s a business. Why are we always the fall guys.

    Water ffs - should never have been privatised. Something we need to live and falls out of the sky.

    Covid is the main reason for this. It’ll settle down, again.

    Dogs weren’t socialised during lockdown. There was also a huge amount of people that got themselves a dog for lockdown and then give them up again as soon as the lockdown was over. The dogs had no stability or socialising. I was rehoming them over that period and we done all the checks we could but we couldn’t foresee the amount that were brought back to us once it was over.

    I’m not saying there’s not bad owners out there because unfortunately, there is. It’s a far wider issue than that, though.

    Stones and glass houses, our beloved leaders pension. Avoidance to some, legalised evasion to others.

    I think a couple have made money out of law, the others god knows. Id be interested to know. The Labour Party are dodging a wealth tax. For me there are two reasons. One is flirting with donations or as a Labour defender said ‘just playing politics’. It shouldn’t be politics people buying policy and influence with wealth. The other I suspect is this

    I don’t disagree with the general gist of it all.

    It’s looking like every politician from every party have their snouts in the trough. These are the people that would have to make the changes that you’re looking for with clamping down on wealth.

    How can that realistically happen, in that case?

    What is stones and glasss houses ? I’m not defending any of it but let’s not have a blind spot to Nigel and his wealthy party owners. They aren’t a fresh new change - they’re further up the pole in terms of lies and corruption.

    If wealth owns political parties how can policy be objective. It stinks. It’s important we fight to get democracy right because corporate dictatorship isn’t far away.

    Why isn’t providing water a public service ? I can’t get my ahead around it. It’s water. That people drink and use to get hygienic.

    Protecting democracy from the corruption of wealth should be the thing that binds us all. And 3 points v Wolves.

    Water should definitely be public, still think the whole privatisation was a fight between Maggie who thought politicians should run country and left wing extreme unions who thought they should.

    Are you defending Maggie? She wasn’t one of us. Disgusted by working class men.
