Genuinely heard someone say 'I feel sorry for the firemen having to work in this heat' .....

As for the fire, rumours that it was started by rishi sunak trying to dispose of his wife's tax returns are not confirmed. Yet

Probably some numb nuts with a barbecue from tesco...

Or nurses and police burning their below inflation pay 'rise' offers?

Yes the Greens. It was a choice between Johnson and Corbyn and I will always use my vote unlike some.

The Green candidate I've known on and off for 30 years. Ex Royal Green jacket, had been inside a few times etc. But he inherited a few bob years ago and bought a little copse off the arm of a canal from a farmer he knew. Built a tree house to live in with his collie and had a small barge moored up.
Reckoned he lived off bark ,moss and bream for years. Several times a year he visited a different galaxy , which was unreal so decided to stand as an MP to pass on the vision. Brilliant artist and fantastic wood worker building guitars for commercial sale also.
That was my Green candidate so voted for him

Apart from the bream I agree mate

Last bumped into him around Xmas with 2 ladies he'd met on the campaign trail, in a pub around Lymm. He'd moved into a huge house with a merry widow and her spinster sister

No more bream, 3 square a day and they'd built him a workshop in the gardens and still visits other galaxies.

I see Sunak plans to have our taxes at an all time high. I guess the multi millionaire realises that he can't balance the books of this country with all the scroungers trying to milk it dry, still, he will b OK

Get ready for the NHS going...

His opposition plans to cut cooperation tax, on U.K. businesses, great as a short term boost. Let's tax all the importers, heavily, 25% and then start with corrupt offshore stuff, maybe her mate Sunak, might get a look in

I'd say that things like tax avoidance and vast amounts of taxpayers money wasted during Covid (PPE, Test and Trace - £37billion) are more of an issue. The "scroungers" in this case are the ones that are siphoning it off from the top.

I read your link and thought it lacked any sources that backed up the claims so I done a bit of research and come up with this

Analysis / Bias

In review, The London Economic has a strong left-wing bias in story selection that always favors the left. They consistently use loaded headlines such as Leaked list of Conservative Party sex pest sleaze published, shaming THIRTY SIX current Tory MPs and this Boris Johnson turns into The Joker in new artwork. While The London Economic mentions their source in articles, they do not provide hyperlinks for further verification of information, which leads to articles being spun and taken out of context.

Editorially, there is consistent liberal bias such as this The Conservatives are taking a sledge hammer to their voter base and this Labour is the only party treating both sides of the Brexit divide with respect. In general, news reporting is mostly factual, but lacks hyperlinked sourcing, while editorial positions always favor the left.

A factual search reveals they have not failed a fact check.

Overall, we rate The London Economic Left Biased based on editorial positions that always favor liberal policies. We also rate them Mostly Factual, rather than High, due to a lack of hyperlinked sourcing. (D. Van Zandt 12/09/2017) Updated (10/12/2019)


I don't know the facts myself but my guess is the Conservatives are mostly made up of 50+ but I wouldn't know what their views are.
In general I think all our voting systems need a overhaul but I can't either see the Tories or Labour wanting that as it favours them both.
It would favour the Greens but also UKIP back in 2015 who came third in terms of votes with 12.6%, but won only one seat.

Edit
When Corbyn was elected they allowed new members to vote, that didn't help Labour.
Seems nothing is perfect.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
