One of my pet hates is seeing 9 foodbanks and soup kitchens in my town.. the fifth richest economy on the planet ... are we all paying our taxes girls and boys of the aim playground???
GIT, it happened in 1967 (evidently lots of UFO sightings that year). Me and Andy thought it was a ghost experience thing, glowing person, paralysis etc. We have discussed it over the years and wondered what it was that happened. Then about 5 years ago I was reading about abductions, evidently glowing people, beam of light, paralysis, particularly a lot of this at 10 years olds. So my ghost story became an abduction one. Not something I used to share too much, add it to my family history and any response was to be expected. More things in heaven and earth all that. The terror you feel is profound ( nothing else comparable) and etched in your memory. Neither Andy or I have ever recalled tungsten mining being mentioned during this strange, but true episode of the bb.

I’ve known you for many many years but was unaware of your childhood abduction !
Any chance you can delve back into your memory and contact them to ask when WRES will come good mate, I’m sure that it’s locked in your brain somewhere
I love it when this board gets onto politics. lol. Look forward to the 3p/5p/10p party, whatever, when we can fret about labour getting in (minus Corbyn, Abbott et al) taxing us super rich to the hilt. Good points re: poverty Oldie.
Off to do some work.

I agree, dark times indeed, I wouldn’t trust Johnson as far as I could throw him, but Corbyn in publishing a manifesto that is so far reaching and so costly has shot the Labour Party in the Michael Foote mate, if they had put in half of the stuff that they want to do, and then if they got elected and achieved those things in the first term and the public could see that the country was on the up, then they could have gone for the rest in a second term which they would have had a good chance of getting, but as things are they will lose votes from long term labour voters for two different main reasons, firstly from those who want Brexit and secondly from those who just don’t believe that all that they say they will do can be done without bankrupting the country.
There’s nothing that’s sensible to vote for. Improving opportunities for those at the bottom or under has to be a key ingredient, but it has to be doable. So you have to have wealth generation. All very tricky and the front benches are populated with the absurd, the not very bright, liars and some with all three traits.
One of the things never discussed by politicians is to find a way to stop alien abductions, until such time as they do I shall no vote. Me and my mate Andy got an alien abduction encounter when we were 10, everyone we try to tell the story to thinks we are bonkers. My mum believed because she came out to get me s when she realised something was wrong and there we were standing, I don’t remember being anally probed though. No one ever believes you though.Blue finish today?
One of my pet hates is seeing a young mum with a fag in their hand and one or more kids that need a good meal.
That there is the problem Hbob. Poverty is not defined and is rather subjective. Ask someone in Mali. Right now there is not one day in the working week where i dont work with people in 'poverty'. Funnily enough many enjoy Sky, have a car (no need as you get a free bus pass), visit the pub. Drink at home. Smoke and have cash and a significant number have their nails done every week. I am confident that I see more 'poverty' in one day than many on here see in many months. We can all pick examples of the 30 a day smoker that lived until they were 95 but that isn't the real picture nor is it the norm. I grant you that there are pockets are real poverty, ingrained. I would argue that the issue is not poverty, the issue is the inability to manage money, cook properly and break the cycle of social restrictions such as education. Locked in some may say. The problems are heavily concentrated in the white working class (formerly for many). Who let them down Hbob? Who is leaving Labour in droves? Who opened the floodgates for unskilled immigration in the late 90's who were then competing in the same environment as the traditional working class? That was the final nail in the coffin for the traditional working class. Who abandoned their core voters? Neil Kinnock knew labour were lost. He has spoken about it. By blaming poverty for peoples ills you do a great disservice to all the Irish immigrants and all the commonwealth immigrants in the last 100 years that arrived with nothing other than a suitcase. They faced poverty, abuse, they moved for work, left family, gave up home and many, many, many made it work because they made it work. Well done to them, they earned it. They had to make it work as there was no nice welfare cushion.

Whilst a small Tory majority is of course possible I still think it is unlikely, but time will tell mate and I do agree that if labour don’t get in either outright or in coalition, that Corbyn will go and labour will move back from the far left.
Dark times
Don't disagree GIT but I think a Tory majority will happen. Corbyn to go, followed by centre left resurgence, the removal of Abbott, Macdonnell, Momentum losing influence and then a Labour party who I could vote for in the future.
Corbyn has made labour unelectable, Johnson cannot be trusted and nor can most of his cabinet, the most likely outcome of the General Election is another hung parliament, but the question then is which of the main two parties will be able to get a coalition partner and govern, and what will the price of such a coalition be, who knows !
Dreamy, you live on another planet.. 4 million children live in poverty in the uk.
6400 a month not enough.. your greed has devoured your very soul perhaps.
My 24 year old daughter is currently unemployed.. she had to wait 6 weeks for her dole money of 9 pounds a day..
Go fill a light aircraft instead.... I humbly suggest
4 reasons I won't vote Labour.......Corbyn, Macdonnell, Abbott and Momentum. RNS - Tues.
Vote for Nige. Simples.
On a more serious note, I'll go for nowt today and one Tuesday...just to wind us up a bit more. ??
I don’t like the tories as they built on the mess Labour started for the nhs, education, public services, roads etc. however Labour seem to be determined to be unelectable, more specifically on personal tax, they believe that if you earn more than 125,000 (bearing in mind that includes capital gains and dividends) you should be taxed as super rich and if over 80,000 at higher rate. So they apply these rates what happens, there is literally billions less in disposable income and those who earn 125,000 as salary you take home pay is about 6,400 a month, hardly enough to fill your private jet! If you earn 6,400 a month exactly how does it help the economy for the government to take hundreds of pounds out of your pocket which let’s be honest would either be spent on the economy or as saving for your future. It’s madness all round. If they wanted to do this for those on 250,000 I would understand but they are clueless.
