    Absolutely no chance of Sir Keith Stalin sorting out immigration. He will almost certainly cave in to the Brussels Politburo over allowing ‘free movement’ for 18-30 year olds as well as agreeing to make ‘reforms’ to the Brexit Deal (that was never actually carried here) so that the European courts are final arbiters. His masters at the WEF want a Communist Europe. The Establishment can control a compliant proletariat.

    You know that shipbuilding and ship building are the same thing, right? Ship building was done by private companies until a large number were nationalised in the 1970s and subsequently many closed due to overcapacity in the 1980s and the surviving ones were privatised.

    You are not quite accurate with your list. I am going to assume that by mining you mean coal mining so we would be referring to the politically motivated strikes of the 1980s in an industry in terminal decline.

    The car makers were already a failing private enterprise. Failing British Leyland was nationalised in 1975, guaranteeing its eventual demise. General Motors owned Vauxhall. When did the State own Ford, Nissan, Renault or Toyota?

    Just remind us when housing was built by the State. Targets were set by the State (and never met). The idea that the house building shortage started in the 1980s is nonsense. There was a shortage before Right To Buy came along but that made it obvious as social housing numbers dwindled because local authorities never met the targets after 1955.

    I am going to assume that highways means road building. The Road Board was founded in 1914. That is now called National Highways. They just contract out much of the work to the private sector. Not a mile from me, Balfour Beatty are making a fortune on the A63/Castle Street ‘improvements’.

    Of that long list of industries that have gone, just how many did they ever have in the Netherlands? Post (was privatised) and highways are all I can think of unless you know a State owned steel manufacturer, miner, carmaker or nuclear energy provider. Ship building in the Netherlands has always been done by private ship yards. The State owns the railway infrastructure but the train companies are largely private – and Abellio used to run rail franchises in the UK, profiting from taxpayer subsidy.

    Somewhat milder today thankfully after 4/5 days of being -2/-3℃.

    No precipitation or wind neither.

    What a glorious country Great Britain truly is.

    The old crone with the edentulous jaws was staring at me from across the train. I looked at my feet, then out of the window. When I looked up, she was still gazing at me, this time in a lustful manner, her tongue slowly licking thin, creased lips. I felt sick rise into my mouth. I swallowed hard.

    Only those people capable of reading any reasoned argument replying to someone else’s argument. Perhaps you never realised that this is supposed to be a debating forum.

    Drooling vegetables (like yourself) can only handle things in single syllables of less than 160 characters or pictures/photos.

    If you are going to the trouble of counting the number of words, it would seem more logical to just read them.

    Of course, if drooling vegetables are dyslexic, incapable of reading or have the attention span of a gnat then that can probably be ruled out. It does seem strange that they can count so high.

    Just as well no-one can fit 222 words into 160 characters...

    You should have puked up. Was she wearing a very low cut top and a Labour rosette?

    Or was the sick in your mouth from being stupid enough to buy sh*t on the train? That would put the old crone off. Toby will be along in a minute to complain about you referring to his mother in that way.

    • 61% of Britons say they’re dissatisfied with Keir Starmer, his worst performance as Labour leader
    • Overall dissatisfaction with the Government remains high at 70%
    • Economic optimism continues to deteriorate, with 2 in 3 (65%) expecting the economy to get worse over the next year – the worst score since the end of 2022
    The latest Ipsos Political Monitor, taken 27th November-4th December 2024 asks the public their views on the government and Prime Minister Keir Starmer.

    Dissatisfaction with both the government and Keir Starmer remains high, with high levels of pessimism around the economy
