Lone Wolf Wellens howling at the moon after another shambolic defeat.

She does. But, to be fair, the post-WW2 Labour government do too. They introduced steel reinforced concrete, RAAC, and some other construction materials and methods. Quick and cheap to build, but an absolute nightmare now. If you want to know what this looks like when it goes wrong, go to YouTube a...

Surely it should be an internal discussion between the parents and officials of Whitehawk FC. I can’t imagine the club are flush with cash to cover a coach regardless. It’s a weird one to try and make an issue of on here. ‘Oooh look at me, I spoke to the away teams parents at the fa youth cup match...

It's sounds like there is only one word appropriate to describe this housing crisis and that word is shambles. Its an utter shambles. No other way to describe it.

Question is, who is to blame?

Oh oh "UK embassy in Ukraine remains under review after US temporarily closed mission amid warnings of “potential significant air attack” on Kyiv. No 10: "Our embassy remains open however the safety of our staff remains paramount & we keep our embassy posture & travel advice consta...

And so it continues Inflation on the increase Electric prices increase on top of the fuel allowance hit. Tough on the old and vulnerable.

Far be it from me to drag up old threads just to prove I was right all along, but.... The ONS has just updated its house price data showing average UK prices in September 2023 (£283,680) were revised down by £7,705 (-2.6%) compared to the price originally reported a year ago (£291,385). They did th...

Is he being sued by the buyer yet? I suspect we will find out when he comes on here begging for free advice again.

Challenge also applies to you. When he sent me this private message a few years back I foolishly believed we had heard the last of him. How wrong I was Bully Sent: Thu Dec 05, 2019 11:41 pm From: F*ck The Poor & Fat Recipient: Max B Gold Hi Max. Seems I may be a goner on the forum. The mods fin...

Oh look, it WAS Israeli propaganda, what a shock. https://x.com/DoubleDownNews/status/1858580292027773307 But the bigger “shock” is how News Agencies and Governments around the World were happy to propagate the lie, even when they 100% knew it was a lie. It just demonstrates how much influence the ...

He's not wrong though.

It is a shambles.

You sound like an old bitter Corbynista. Welcome aboard.

If you want it to be woke then it is. The word woke has no meaning that anyone understands.

Nice one. This was a play we studied for English O Grade wouldn't mind seeing it, but looks like it ends on 23 Nov.

I just finished the 1st series of Wolf Hall and I really enjoyed it. Mark Rylance is bloody brilliant in everything he does, and this is no exception. Started 2nd Series last night and it seems to be just as good (and the substitutions at half time seem to be working out well) S2 is excellent. Ryla...

Lovely jubbly. I'm willing to take this promise at face value. When have Liebour ever broken one?

Also isn't MAGA about taking America back to a time where there was a constant nuclear threat? MAGA is about taking America back to the pre-WW2 period, when the US was more isolationist. There are different elements and agendas within the ragbag of fascist and racist MAGA scum. Isolationism is one ...

Vulnerable millionaire farmers? A China got to do with anything? Then you need to research farmers. Having land worth a million is fine. Having outbuildings and equipment worth thousands is fine. But unless the tax man will accept a tractor, a few cows or acres of land in payment then farmers need ...

New series of Day of the Jackal is, to my surprise, good. It doesn't try to recreate the film, but is a short series influenced by the book. I've watched three of the five episodes, so hopefully it doesn't tank in the final two, but so far this one is recommended. Watched it and it was OK. Redmayne...

Don't be a plonker. That's not what I'm saying.

Oh wow, I didn’t know there was a specific scheme in place for that. Maybe someone should let the farmers know? Most of them won't need to know because they won't be caught by IHT and those that will can obviously "gift" the farm to offspring now and hope to survive 7 years and pay no IHT...

1st but as that is contested it will prove tricky, but not impossible, to reach agreement.

So if Russia invade any country it should just be accepted and negotiated? OK then nuke them . Is that the only other option? Nuke them or appeasement? Option 3: Fight on to the bitter end expending the 18-65 male population and lose anyway. A defeat that was always going to happen. OR Negotiate a ...

One thing I would point out, however, is that many of these family farmers will not be able to finance any IHT payments, as their revenue is too variable and margins too tight to access anything but loans with a punitive interest rate. So you’ve bought into the ‘poor farmers’ thing? 😃 Let’s say a £...

It's an arrangement that appears to work very well for the USA.
