Reform Devon has all the best people. The guy they stood for parliament had a recent conviction for animal abuse after he kicked the shit out of a dog.
Angry little men who attack woman and animals, that's reform for you.

20 years ago I'd be against it but since everyone volunteerily got a mobile phone with GPS, posted their photos to Facebook ect, signed up to Tesco clubcard and the like while using a debit card. I think the argument against id cards are pretty weak in regard to privacy.

Disgusting, we need the land in this country to grow food. My buddies and I were talking about this yesterday afternoon while we enjoyed a round of golf.

For fellow 50+ fellas out there, best tip ever is pretend your still 12 and at a good opportunity jam on that back brake and do a nice skid. Tires are pretty cheap and the amount of fun it brings is well worth it. (Bald tires are a sign of a life well lived:-)

Grew up in a seaside town in the golden age of arcade gaming. Space harrier was good but other games had a far bigger impact. Star wars, gauntlet, bubble bobble, dragons lair, pole position, Kung Fu master to name a few. A early game that gets overlooked, scramble deserves more recognition.

There's more to it than that.
Waxy lemon started as a football hooligan, the original "Tommy Robinson" was a notorious thug and top boy at a Luton gang of football hooligans (Luton is where waxy lemon grew up). As waxy rose up the ranks, becoming top boy himself, he took the name Tommy Robinson.

horologist's say it's the best watch they have ever seen, horologist's, they are watching experts, did you know that? The world's leading horologist came up to me and he said, Mr trump sir, that watch is so good it should have 13 hours, 14 even, it's that good, the best he'd ever seen.

Back in the late 80's I received a court summons from the local magistrates court for non payment of the poll tax. I didn't bother to show up. Never heard anymore about it, can I expect a letter when they get on top of this backlog?

There's a plan, keep the UK reliant on fossil fuels. The anti immigrants stuff is primarily vote winning retoric to achieve power.

Nice, there really isn't enough absolute bollox being posted online currently.

The internet should of been the source of all knowledge freely available to everyone everywhere. Instead it's the source of unlimited bullshit.

Depressing really:-(

1)The old people's home that I used to pass on my way to school getting on 50 year ago is now boarded up. Next door to it is a brand new McCarthy and stone building. The McCarthy and stone building is on the site of what was a special school for kids with disabilities and next to those 2 sites...

Live on the South coast UK and super low tide today and at 8:04 quite a high one, tempted to have a little walk down there and take a look, see the boats bobbin about high in the harbour. Could go earlier and get a sunset, yeah I may do that:-)

Is this peak GBspews ??

Putting "could" Infront of "absolutely" on a ridiculous rage bait story informing the terminally gullible that proud patriots are about to have their bank accounts shut down if they fly a flag.

The comments are filled with exactly what you would expect😂😂

4)... that fighting the system isn't always the best course of action. That road was always going to get built. Get yourself in a position within the system is the smart way to make a real difference.

3) ..from the inside. On a protest against a large bypass a few of my old friends got arrested, ended up in court. The young lady who was now my girlfriend (wife now:-) was also working on that road, had been for a while and had managed to get so much done in regards for habitat ect. I realised..

2)... needed to be more aggressive. Didn't agree with him at all and I ended up distancing myself from that particular group while keeping in touch with old friends still in the group. Around the same time I met a young lady who was working for a large contractor as a ecologist. She was working...

1) From the mid 80's to early 90's I was a young man. At one stage some friends from the free party/new age traveler groups I was part off started getting into environmental protests. Was all quite peaceful stuff but then this new guy came on the scene who quickly convinced the group that they...
