Energy prices.

Renamed in memory of John Hawksworth, a stalwart member who passed this day 2nd August 2020. RIP Mr Monkeybutt.

Sadly we must add the name of Kevin Minton, Aka Mr Ripper who passed 30/6/22. Kev was also Mr politically incorrect but a nicer lad you could never meet.

well one thing i can see is more reform ran councils because of that no matter how much a hatchet job the MSM try to do on the party and a few wrong uns that get voted in. they never seem to bother in the past of the possible brown envelopes that might have been past around especially in councils ran by labour.


Anu links for your alleged brown envelopes Accy ?
All Reform ever bleat about is stopping the boats, Farage ducks all the questions about how Reform would fix the economy,they created the situation encouraging people to vote Brexit to get our sovereignty back. Pre Brexit very few boats arrived if any as we could send then straight back, now we can’t.
Here is a vlog about Reforms hidden agenda,

Jamie, you do realise we have a Labour government, neither Farage nor Trump are PM or have ever been. Not sure why you bring them and Brexit into every topic other than to deflect any criticism away from Starmer and his band of ineptitudes who are supposedly looking after us?

if ou or anyone else think that councils are totally squeeky clean you need your head looking at. you can have a good guess to what goes on without being able to prove it. lets say councillors of a west yorkshire area received new fouse additions if they wanted them. that came for a councillor herself who did not want a conservatory. correct about farage even though its possibly the biggest issue of the say and he is only answring a question put to him.

Why would I want to waste my time watching that, it's not relevant to what's happening here, Trump will make difficult decisions to benefit his fellow Americans, whereas here we have a man in charge who would put the interests of non residents ahead of those of his fellow countryman, I say fellow he absolutely hates us as we him, he's a bigger dictator than anyone else in this country, I see there even exposing this morning that the Met Office have been fiddling data from non existent weather stations now to suit the narrative, when will this horse shit end. Labour Out.
...and no regime can buy or sell me....

Well if you haven’t watched you can’t have an opinion on it then, Trumps month on months ratings are falling, President Donald Trump has made it clear in recent weeks that he’s willing to use the vast powers of his office to prevent his party from losing control of Congress in next year’s midterm elections.
The courts have ruled the majority of his tariffs are illegal, watch the vlog where he says he is the President and can do what he wants, I would say that makes him a Dictator does it not ?

Meanwhile here in our real world (the UK) things are getting worse by the day, but none of it's down to our government - it's all Truss, Brexit, Boris, Farage, and Trumps fault.
Keep watching your You Tube all you want, but whatever streams you're watching have no relevance to the majority of the British public.
And if you can't comment because you haven't watched a vlog of yours then how the feck have you got any right to comment on what's happening on the streets of the UK when you don't even live here?

Starmer is like the Black Knight of politics aka the Monty Python sketch….and he has one leg left politically…..in other words talking bullshit despite the the bleedin obvious in front of his own eyes. :roll:

People on You Tube tend to watch those with opinions that match their own, reinforcing their own biased world view…….not to be taken seriously.

Just goes to show how ill informed you are about the content on YouTube, plenty of news stories about whats happening on the streets in the U.K.over100 million channels on YouTube so plenty of choice.

Where do you glean that opinion from Snowy, you know many people who watch YouTube ? There are as I said before 100 million channels on YouTube not all about politics.
It gives an independent journalist a chance to air their opinions with out being restricted to the owners of who they work for.
There are other channels about engineering feats, cars, footy, music to many to name.

You've said yourself that once you watch something on You Tube that the service sends you links to similar or related threads. Sounds very much like a form of subliminal brain-washing for the gullible to me.

Yes but it doesn’t mean to say I have to watch them, we are being tracked all the time whilst using the internet, mobile phones, store cards etc.
I read books on my Kindle from Amazon, crime/thrillers, they track me and email suggestions on the type of books they know I download

its like life in general. you only tend to mix and have mates with people with similar views as yourself. its near impossible to get close to those who feel the complete opposite.

I agree, I'm lucky that my mate and family, have differing views but we can !listen to each other without the hysteria that seems to be the norm these days.

Just bought an excellent book Jamie, called ‘Tea time with Hitler’ about the Royals relationships with Hitler during the war…a few eye openers inside.
