I certainly hope you were not casting aspersions there

Nope, just a general comment on the state of the country.

A nation of pensioners and benefit claimants and a collapsing economy.. The sunlit uplands we were promised are here.

Lord Wolfson, CEO of Next has been banging on today about how this isn't the brexit he wanted, what you mean his lordship didn't know what he was voting for, well tough, those cheap foreign workers can't afford to come back with things the way they are

The "way things are" shit would have happened anyway.
Are you sure the EU workers wouldn't have gone back to their countries, particularly before travel bans came in?

From another perspective, though, it isn't the Brexit most Leavers wanted because the Guvmin are bunglers and the EU are *******s. Still no reason to remain under the Brussels cosh.

It's Lord Wolfsen who wants them back, I don't particularly, he was quite possibly happy selling the sunlit uplands and saying everything negative was project fear, well this is the reality, you've screwed your own business same as the weatherspoons guy and now it's turned out badly for them it's this isn't what we wanted, well it is, they knew what they were voting for and it was the end of the free movement of goods, people, services and cash, you don't get to pick and choose the bits you like wolfy

Cost of living crisis can’t be that bad looking at the virtual queue for Peter Kay tickets.

Peter Kay tickets are relatively cheap are they not? Not a massive fan myself but I was surprised to see he wasn't doing London. Not sure if that's because of the cost or just logistics in booking a venue right now I think every decent venue in London is booked out for over a year already unless he just does one day sometime next year at the O2 but he'll want to do a week or more surely?

Oh he must have added those after the original announcement. They weren't announced originally. 1 day a month for the next couple of years is a new way to do it, not seen that before.
