Re: Reform UK's chronicles
Nah, just another councilor (labour this time) spouting shit about another local council 'needing to raise taxes' and kicking Reform (Farage) as he does so . . . conveniently not mentioning that 99% of local councils are in the shit financially . . even his.
I'm sure you have better things to be doing Andrew 
oh, and MSM . . really!

Re: Reform UK's chronicles
Councils have been pretty much screwed, whoever runs them, as they get lumbered with the cost of a lot of social care, but governments feel comfortable cutting their budgets as they don't get the blame.

Spot on.
Cut backs to council funding started in 2010 and whilst central government is no longer making cutbacks, councils just don't have the wriggle room these days for efficiency savings that Reform UK and Old Boy have said they have.

Re: Reform UK's chronicles
Simple economics have changed drastically since I went to school
'John takes an apple to school, he decides to share it with his 3 friends . . each gets half an apple'
nowadays:
John takes an apple to school, his new 56 friends want a share . . he tells them to bugger off and eats it himself. There is no waste bin in the school yard so he drops the apple onto the floor. Immediately his parents are hit with a £2400 fine for littering. Word gets out onto social media, John's father loses his job, his mother is excluded from the nagging wives cult. They have to sell their house and live in a broken down caravan on a derelict car park. As there is now no money coming into the household, John no longer takes an apple to school.
The End

That looks suspiciously like Truss-Reform UK maths.

Yes, I will admit to the basic error, but in my defense, as I had just started to compose the rather short yet concise report (Economics 101 - UK Edition 2025), I found myself distracted by being called away for a 'minute' by her indoors.
Surely this is definite proof that women and math don't go together . . . and proof reading is sometimes worth the extra 25 seconds taken before posting
oh, and if I edit it now it would be cheating

Re: Reform UK's chronicles
Brilliant, so we now need to somehow ensure the North of England points East, or west, or any different direction . . and if we don't manage that little trick we have to swim for it.

The North of England is already pointing East.
