I'm also firmly convinced that main stream politicians know what needs to be done, yet won't do it because it's a career killing move . . . death by media frenzy.

Not sure what’s funnier - that you believe that, or that you expect others to believe that…
What do you think needs to be done?

Re: Reform UK's chronicles
He's just pretending to be stupid Papa, almost as if he's enticing people to say things that cause trouble . . heck, do you think he's maybe a Daily Mail undercover reporter?

Re: Reform UK's chronicles
Seriously, I don’t know what you think needs to be done - not everyone can read your and Papa’s mind…
Especially since you are both Yellowbellies…
It’s almost as if you are afraid to say what you’d do…

Re: Reform UK's chronicles
Considering all the fighting going on (and the experts warning we're in line at some time) bring back some kind of 'national service' for those who really don't have a decent excuse for not having a job.
Create small divisions/squads, give them 2 months of basic training (which is getting shouted at a lot, running 5 miles in full clobber in the pouring rain, and peeling a lot of potatoes haha) You could call these 3rd rate soldiers something really interesting with a good catch phrase . . . like 'cannon fodder' for example.
Pay them £40 a week (they'll get bed, meals and clothing for free) and after the training shove them back into civvy street with the proviso they get a job or do another 2 months.
Pretty sure I'd rather find work than do that.

well i'm shocked  that's a little light and hairy fairy for me, where's this 40 quid coming from, they already get bed food and clothing free , what about a ban on fast food outlets for the unemployed,and a crackdown on cannabis we can all smell where it is, prison for idiots riding bikes no handed or pulling wheelies,and the death penalty for dropping crisp packets and huge fines for people who leave wheelie bins permanently on the street

Starting to like it  . . adding the village stocks for those caught playing music loud on busses & trains, public flogging for anyone using AI to write a CV for a job interview, and 10 minutes (minimum) on a ducking stool (non fatal) for anyone taking the mick out of pensioners
