Imo, what should change is the lack of political education. Many people don't really understand what the different parties stand for. How many actually read party manifestos?
Will fptp really change anything, or will it lead to populists like Farage soaking up even more votes?

Its too simplistic to imply that this is something which has only emerged recently. In fact, its only become a noticeable problem because we no longer have a two-horse race between Labour and Tories.

But this has always been the case, Ive lived in areas in the 70s/80s which were staunchly Labour or Tory and voting anything else was a waste of time. Its not a modern phenomenon.

I was 10 when it happened. First time I‘d ever seen adults cry. We had slag heaps in my town too so it was all very scary.

That‘s what I would expect. It’s not just a historic building, it’s one of the most recognised symbols of your country.
It’s going to take decades to repair the damage he has done, and continues to do.

So, yet another thing that he‘s just ignoring🙄😳
No doubt he thinks he knows more about buildings than anyone else…men with tears in their eyes have said so…

Don't you have listed building status in the US, where historic and architecturally important buildings cannot be demolished or even renovated/extended without permission?
Or is Donny just riding roughshod as per usual?

Wore that sort of outfit when I was in primary school. Jumpers knitted by my gran.

Margaret FH56 @margaretfh56.bsky.social · 2d

Do they share that jacket or do they rent it by the hour?
