I love walking, flight-free travel, Leeds United, birdwatching, languages, and real ale. I hate Farage,Brexit, tax dodgers,Thatcherism, privatisation, climate denial, and the word "woke"!
None of the regulators actually work! You might almost think they were all designed to be toothless and ineffectual and offer zero protection to consumers whilst ensuring maximum cash extraction on an exponential scale. Privatisation only works with Of- this and Of-that! They can all eff-Of!

They've had months to redact it and disappear the worst parts. It will read like a Dr Seuss by the time it's finally released!

The top rate of UK tax in 1961 was almost 89% and the bottom rate was almost 39%.
This means tax rates have effectively halved in my lifetime. I would rather have had great public services, utilities and amenities and missed out on decades of austerity, privatisation and obscene inequality!

I wish! If it were leftist, Reform wouldn't have 24/7 access, half the news wouldn't be about that dying empire over the Pond, it wouldn't overtly support Israel's genocide and we wouldn't have to suffer Laura Kuenssberg, Chris Mason or Nick Robinson! Oh, bliss!

Who is Kim Kardashian? I don't watch telly. Is she just famous for being famous or does she have unique talents which add to world peace?

Thank god for that! He's even wetter than Keir and even more of a closet Tory! Are these people really the best they've got? If so, Labour is as dead in the water as the Conservative Party!

Boris's "utter bollocks" is code for the plain and simple truth just like Trump's "fake news" and the GB News's "wokery"

My kids couldn't quite believe the beautiful, crystal-clear, turquoise rivers we saw recently in Bavaria and Austria and even a large lake (Königssee) with drinking water quality! They're only used to brown, smelly, polluted Yorkshire rivers and the blue-green algal blooms of home!
