  1. Does anyone truly care what happens to Trump or any of those involved?  It’s just a poor version of ‘reality’ TV, maybe they can set up phone lines and the ‘sad sacks’ amongst us can have a vote on guilty or innocent.   Make sure you ask the bill payers permission before voting….

    which "suspended Tory" would that be🤔

    AND is this "suspended Tory" under MULTIPLE police investigations?

    The Tory who is linked above..  Investigations are just that, and both are under investigation in one form or other and both may well end up as Police investigations, guilt has to be proven before we burn at the stake.

    so,Sir Kier has played the "Tories are smearing a working class woman" card (surprised he can tell what he/she/it is tbf) on top of the "none story" card trotted out by the rest of the left wing led by Anneliese Dodds even though the "ginger growler gate" victim is being investigated by the police for financial AND electoral registration AND council tax discount irregularities.

    even her "ex" next door neighbour from the "council house gate" scandal has said she is a "lying *****r" and "hadn't lived there for ages"

    let's see how her righteous/holier than thou attitude holds up in the commons when she'll be "obviously" calling for her own resignation 👍

     

    She’s guilty then?  Do you follow the same principal for the suspended Tory, guilty as charged?

    Yes. I doubt you would have sold a shotgun to someone with a fraudulent shotgun certificate. 

     
     

    had a quick scan of this thread and it has disappointed me.  come on guys you are slipping, not one mention of it being Labours fault.

    But on a serious note.  How the F have they been able to pull this off, I’m having to jump through numerous hoops just to get an assessment for PIP

    It relates as the lady was being abused by a gun owner by shoving a semi auto shotgun in her chest. 
     

    He won’t have watched or read it..  

     

    a domestic abuse victim is nowhere near as valuable to some blokes as their shooting seem to be.  If that bloke had kept his licence and then gone on to murder her the same people moaning about the questions would be slagging off the police for not removing his licence sooner…

    Well we will all fail, if you shoot pigeons or rabbits or foxes etc.

    question, would your partner ever hurt an animal?

    What happens in the partner answered yes to a single question like hurt a child? who’s word would they take then the partner or the applicant?

    very subjective questions.

    So Guilty again, rather than innocent before being proved guilty.

    There is a big difference to hurting an animal and shooting an animal.  Hurting an animal is seen as the first sign of a psychopath.

  6. I enjoy Beach fishing, if you have ever Carp fished then that’s the way to approach it.  I’ve used both fixed spool and multiplier reels, don’t go multiplier with line level drive..

    wonder how many folks pension pots are connected to the arms industry..........

     

    1 hour ago, wyn said:

    It seems to be 0.02% of their arms imports.

    And 0.4% of our arms exports.


     

    if our pensions are linked to the arms sales, then they need to get their fingers out and increase those rates significantly.  
     

    The pensioners of this country are still paying for the previous wars the country stuck it’s nose into..  we need to start looking after our own before poking around in other peoples issues.

  8. The current shares are worthless as the business is insolvent after defaulting on it’s dents.  It will go under temporary Government control whilst they find a buyer ( someone will get it for nowt ) who is willing to invest significant capital.  
     

    They are close to putting there ‘super sewer’ into operation which should improve the appalling situation with discharges into the river Thames, it would be a travesty if this project is delayed any further.

    our double standards are hilarious if this was the other bunch of fools involved there would be non stop screaming of rules especially the obligation to avoid killing civilians if possible! 

    Can you narrow it down, which “other bunch of fools” do you refer too?

    Also in the news today, the Billionaire leaders of Hamas have once again rejected a proposal of aid and a ceasefire in return for freeing hostages.

     

     

    easy to do when you are sat in the UAE living the luxury life.

    have the same thought it was deliberate they certainly read us right when assuming we won’t make a fuss about killing uk citizens! 


    why make a fuss? They went there knowing what they were getting into and the risks that come with it.  If they wanted to give aid they could have helped homeless veterans on the streets of the UK, or volunteered in a foodbank in the UK, or countless other UK based charities.  Oh wait! They were paid ‘security’ advisors not aid workers, that’ll explain why they didn’t do charity work in the UK.

  12. Just now, toontastic said:

    I don't recall you being so vocal about the 14 British Citizens murdered by Hamas or the 2 who are still held hostage. 

     


    Maybe it’s only an outrage if the victim is not a Jew.

    What happened on 7/10 was bound to illicit a response from Isreal, and that response should continue until the threat is eliminated.

    The attack on the aid convoy may not be an accident, no aid is reaching the area since the attack on the aid vehicles, could that have been the plan all along?

    Ukraine has lost over 1/2million soldiers so far, Russia is still sub 100,000 and those figure track with the American funded and supported data collection organisation (i.e. not Russian figures but Western).

    Approx 96% of casualties are being caused by bombs, artillary and mines with only 4% being rifle bullets.

    Again for repetition, the Russian aim is not to take ground at this stage, it is to demilitarise ukraine and reduce it's army to a non-capable fighting force by grinding it down and killing large numbers of troops which is what they are doing.

    Russia has something like 300,000 bombs in warehouses , and is dropping 100 plus FAB's (Glide bombs from 1000lb to 6000lb) per day,  Russia is firing up to 20,000 shells a day and hundreds of drones, they are clearly producing sufficient hypersonic and cruise missles that they have no issue in using them liberally as well as long range drones.

    whilst Ukraine is firing up to 3000 shells a day, no bombs and a couple hundred drones, ,  Ukraine has virtually no anti aircraft missles left (or units left to fire them), down to last few dozen stormshadow/scalp missles, few aircraft and fewer and fewer artillary pieces as they are eliminated at a rate of 5 to 10 a day.

    As for the Russian people, they are solidly behind Putin, of whom 40% even think he is being too soft on Ukraine and would sanction using tactical nukes to 'solve' the Ukrainian Nazi terrorist problem permanently.

     


     

    🤣

    Are you still spouting?

    We were told the same thing in student days, amost 60 years ago.   Human population of the Thames catchment area must have increased a lot since then, so maybe today's London water has been drunk even more than seven times.

    Science claims the water we have now is the same water we have always had, if that is the case then the number of times it has been ‘recycled’ is well beyond comprehension…. A glass of dinosaur **** anyone?

    No I mean like the failing Thames water, an company that has a contract, a contract that it seems, allows them to fail and the tax payer to bail them out.

    Whatever is in their contract for them to supply, I'm assuming infrastructure maintenance and improvement, is part of this contract. That cost money.

    Possibly, but it seems the Tax payer will be paying first, and won't see the money back.

    Surely this was known when they took on the contract.....................

    Absolutely, but investments are not a sure bet, they come with risk. The company has a contract, and the investors are not really investors, they are shareholders, and as such, responsible for the company and it's contracts. So your analogy doesn't really work.

    They have been awarded a contract and are not fulfilling it. They are not the aggrieved party.

    I assume you are talking about the staff's pensions.

    Again should not be the tax payer's responsibility. Thames water and their owner companies, should be on the hook.

    If they money is not there and has been embezzled, then criminal proceedings should be brought.


    “Contract” what contract and with who?  And for clarity the other industries I mentioned do take Tax payers money, do you have the same objections?

    They have regulatory commitments to deliver potable water, remove and treat waste water rather than a contract with their customers.  

    The price charged is set by OFWAT across a 5 year AMP (asset management program ), the water companies put forward a program of work, and the costs involved at each price review, OFWAT then decide what can be done, what can be spent and what can be charged to the customer.  The water companies then search out the funding based on what they will charging over the next 5 years, they need the funding as the work has to be done in advance of the customers money coming in just like any other business selling a product or service.

    It appears you don’t understand shareholding is investing, dependant on how the investment is set up the investor may still be entitled to a dividend even if the business makes a loss ( now there is a contract there )

    “Staff pensions”, no.  Pension funds invest in Water companies as do state funds, if the business falls into bankrupcy then their investment is lost and working peoples pensions suffer.

    ALL water companies are broken, under charging has led to decades of ‘fix on fail’ instead of investing in new infrastructure.  Population increase, climate change, changes to building practices, and other environmental challenges have all impacted on the industry and still no one wants to pay the required rate…. The companies are far from perfect, and by a long way, but they are also being held back from doing some things they want to do to improve the situation.

    As an aside, Thames waters main problem comes from the Australian equity fund that asset stripped them to the tune of £14billion.  What we need is public ownership by region but without the return to 70’s style public ownership, run it like a business with the customers at the heart of what it does.

     

    If you ever get the opportunity to talk to an employee of Thames, I sure they will fill you in on how much good work does get done by dedicated shopfloor workers…
