    Trump

    Trump

    It will be interesting to see if the US is still a democracy. Apparently arrangements have been made in prison to hold him. The supreme caught have differentiated between official actions and actions for personal gain when considering imunity. Maybe he goes to jail and pardons himself? Is that possible? 🤔 it looks increasingly unlikely he will get in as president.

    Trump

    The case is sound. The evidence is clear. 'I have no idea who this woman is' even if i signed the cheque and you saw us together. Even his constant breaches of the 'gag order' have been put aside to keep him out of jail. What will happen next, will justice be done?
  4. I Could say the same about Borris. The people love him.
  5. Excellent trip out. I too saw 1000's and shot over a 1000 pigeons and doves last week but I had to go to Africa to do it. Not so much close to home. Not sure I could shoot so much with a sbs.
  6. 🤣🤣🤣 and your evidence is?
  7. That's exactly why I don't support any party. Labour can only balance the system we have back to the middle. We need strong not extreme government. We cannot have that with FPP. The political pendulum will swing more and more. Fortunately the likes of SNP, Greens and now Reform all help to dampen that swing and ensure that Cons and Labour fight for the middle. US is a good example of extreme govt where the MAGA's have tried to take over the GOP. The agenda 25 (funded by Putin) manifesto is designed simply to undermine democracy. Fortunately it's looking increasingly likely that Trump has shot his bolt. We are starting to hear much of the same rhetoric here namely, stop the immigrants, get rid of the law, clear out the checks and balances, get rid of the civil servants.

    Why do you think they do that? In my view with our FPP voting system there is simply no merit it trying to work together. Each side has to undermine the other to get the votes. The public will not vote for reality. More people paying tax and less services being provided. 👍

    Since the United Kingdom (UK) held a referendum on its European Union membership in June 2016, the British pound (GBP) weakened against the euro. From a high of 1.43 at the end of Nov 2015, the GBP to EUR exchange rate has remained below 1.2 since July 2016, sitting at 1.11 as of October 2020. By May 3, 2024, values had reached 1.17 euros per pound. Every service is under funded (police, army, education, NHS, legal services, social care, tax offices, transport the list is endless). We are all paying record taxes. We are spending vastly more than we are earning. It's the electorate that wont vote for something that makes them worse off. Either party could sort the problem but neither of them can do it alone.
  10. I can see why you would think that. 😁 It's hard when the values that you hold true are upended. Seriously it cannot be right to sign up for a green agenda at a National level and at the same time not stand up for the values your own party has developed. All in the name of trying to win votes. It demonstrates i guess exactly why the FPP process is not fit for purpose.

    Really? Wow it must have been bad. This lot have taken at least 17% of my net worth with the currency devaluation let alone the tax and the tax and the tax. The impact of Truss will be felt for years to come.

    Crikey how much of the abyss we are in can you not see???? As for Labours plan the work that they have been doing with focus groups and Civil Servants (😉) convince me not only that they have a plan but also that it is soundly based. Execution may be a different matter as they (like all parties) will struggle with the hard choices that a bankrupt country will inevitably have to make. It will take any government years to dig us back out of the hole we are currently in. I accept that it's not all of the fault of the Tories the Brexit voting electorate share at least part of the blame. Whatever the definition there are not so many left after this regime has taken it's toll.
  13. Despite the Tories trying to buy votes by reneging on environmental standards the residents of our capital saw through the pretenders. Sadiq Khan well done on your third term.

    Local elections

    They can't. All as they can do is stop the slide into the abyss. We simply don't have sufficient productivity or people to support our expectations. The required radical agenda is inedible to the electorate and our FPP system does not allow for consensus politics.

    Now retired. Labour will not have funds to do anything much. The country is mortgaged to the hilt, debt levels are the highest since the 60's. Tax is currently the highest on record. The pound has deteriorated significantly since Brexit (17%). The Truss budget has increased the UK borrowing costs. What ever way you look at it the outlook is pretty gloomy. This Tory regime will not even have the courtesy to leave a note.

    It's the only way we get back to the middle. Rapist, adulterous Donald Von ****zinpantz has no idea what he is saying.

    I think that's going back a bit? This from 2023 Speaking ahead of the Labour Party conference, he admitted that he "can't pretend" there are not challenges in his relationship with the Welsh Labour government. Refreshingly honest. Many thought Truss was how the Tories should be.

    Yep it's part of the process of moving responsibility to local govt without proper funding. Underfunding of everything and the ultra high tax burden will be a hallmark of this regime. Same is often said of both sides of the political divide. Labour bowing to the Unions and the Tories bowing to Russia and big business. That said at least Starmers team have a plan. Unlike the current regime ?
  19. Great to see the Tories getting a good beating in the local election. I can't understand why they are even polling the numbers they are. Still it's good news lets hope the trend continues and the Tories get fully trounced in the forthcoming general.
  20. My old Bristol 12b club had great support from BASC for setting up constitution and rules system. Our view was if you believe in the sport you need someone to fight your corner with govt and its agencies. Bringing new blood into the sport is critical as I look around at a largely old age group of participants.
  21. There are so many juveniles on here. Can we not just focus on and discuss the subject matter. For those unable to perhaps they either grow up or find another forum more suited to their age range.

    They have asked to align with NATO to break away from the axis of evil 😁 BRIKS. https://www.nato.int/cps/en/natohq/news_224873.htm
