My uncle had to attend a speed awareness course before and was telling me that at his a guy turned up in his golf stuff. He was telling him that his wife didn't know he'd got a speeding ticket, so he'd pretended he'd gone out to play golf when coming to the course.

A few minutes later his wife turned up in her gym gear and had done exactly the same, having told him she was going to the gym. Amazing coincidence.

‘Brexit import checks delayed for fourth time‘

“…The government's plan is that a new digital trade border, applying to the whole world, will be in place at least in trial form by the end of 2023.“

Is this the one that Boris said would be ready to solve the Irish border issue by April 2019?

Absolutely beggars belief that they’re still spinning this line, despite having been absolutely torn apart for failing to understand what they were talking about and making false promises before, during and after the Brexit deal was signed.

Labour have been crap for me, high council taxes and their maintenance of the area has been awful for about 10 years. I’ll probably vote Dem.

Think that's an issue everywhere, I live in a Tory stronghold, all Tory council and our council tax bills have risen by double digits every year for the past 5/6, it's gotta be more than double what it was when they took power in the national government.

And that's because they cut national spending by forcing more and more bills and responsibilities on to councils.

Cut the deficit nationally, then give all the headroom away as corporate tax breaks, whilst increasing council spending exponentially and have the serfs pay for it via council tax.

Backdoor taxation essentially

Was in the news the other day that Dr Andrew McCormick, (headed Stormont's brexit UKgov liaison team) announced:

"There is little credibility in any argument that the UK government either did not anticipate the implications of what it had agreed, or was constrained and unable to choose any other option.”

I'm shocked...

Yeah, I've lived in Tory constituencies for the last 6 or 7 years and my council tax has increased repeatedly, whilst maintenance has been poor.

2017 onwards:

“You realise that this is going to be a serious problem, right? I mean, you do understand what this actually *means*, don’t you?”

“Nah, it’ll be fine. It’s all bluster and technicalities. Where there’s a will, there’s a way!”

[repeat ad nauseum until January 2020]

January 2020:

“I CAN’T BELIEVE THE EU ARE BEING SO DISMISSIVE AND INTRANSIGENT!”

It’s a shame as there were absolutely some good lads in amongst them. It did appear that some were getting more and more exasperated at feeling the need to defend the tories, which is sort of part of the problem with tribalism in politics. It means otherwise reasonable sensible compassionate people do and say odd things.

Neil Parish, the Conservative MP for Tiverton and Honiton, has had the whip removed after being accused of watching poornography in the Commons, The Telegraph can reveal.

Mr Parish had a conversation with the Chief Whip about the allegations and is now reporting himself to the Standards Committee of the House of Commons.


Oh ffs who’s that

Funny enough claiming addiction is probably the only way a normal person would keep their job in the same circumstance
