Sympathy for Farage. Where the hell is he going to get his EU MEP pension paid into? £73k pa when he reaches 63. I find it rather amazing that he’s only 59 as he’s been doing his born in the 30s Colonel Blimp shtick for so long.

To be fair most of his income is paid in roubles and it’s one of the few currencies to tank against even ours.
Eh ? Where did you see that ? I thought she’d just done a crafty by using the name of charity to get an office built and then building a swimming pool as well. Thought he was dead already when all this came about……what do you know ?
Just accusations for now I should have added.

Yeah that’s the story I read about the swimming pool. But to be fair, she could hardly have “pretty much killed him”, if he was dead already.
Definitely exploited his name for her own benefit.
Possibly, but at 100 years old I guessing illness is pretty much on the cards anyway for most.
I do agree though, that she seems a bit of a grifter

Orkney votes to explore 'alternative governance'

There have been calls for Orkney to become part of Norway
Orkney councillors have voted to investigate alternative methods of governance amid deep frustrations over funding and opportunities.
Council leader James Stockan said the island had been "held down" and accused the Scottish and UK governments of discrimination.
His motion led to media speculation that Orkney could leave the UK or become a self-governing territory of Norway.
It was supported by 15 votes to six.
It means council officers have been asked to publish a report to Orkney's chief executive on options of governance.
This includes looking at the "Nordic connections" of the archipelago and crown dependencies such as Jersey and Guernsey.

One of the best things about working in my area is that we tend to see a lot of patients in the Asian community who are generally very welcoming and always offer us food and drink.
