What’s made you happy for a change

[DD67]

Well having been made redundant in early December, and getting the state pension at the beginning of January I have been thoroughly fed up doing housework and cooking the evening meals, So today I just stuck my head in the door of a powder coating company ( who I new was struggling with labour)and asked the owner if he needed an old duffer to clean and prep the stuff prior to coating....he wants me in on Monday to talk hours and money ... there's life in the old dog yet

Nice one HT!
That'll keep you out of mischief for a while

Took me about 6 months to get used to being retired that was 12 years ago other than a few building jobs for friends and family not worked since nor will ever again unless every thing goes tits up, but do like to keep my trowel hand in ever so often.

This sounds great. But I won't hold my breath...

BBC News - Rishi Sunak vows to end asylum claims from small boat arrivals

Plan for lifetime ban for Channel migrants is unworkable, say charities

People who arrive on a small boat will be banned from ever re-entering the UK under new proposals.

If that policy is implemented. It "might" be enough to save the conservative government & get them re-elected?

If that policy is implemented

"Thats" the issue, at least the torys are suggesting the right ideas, now watch every do gooder come out off the woodwork screeming human rights

I've always voted Conservative, but they won't get my vote. Even if they could win the next election it would only be a slightly less heavy foot on the accelerator to oblivion. The country and the British people need someone not on the WEF payroll, with brave policies, who really act in the best interest of the UK and its people, neither the Tories or Labour fit that criteria.

 

[Steve 998cc]

Do any of the self serving b***ards Scrappy. I will go and vote but spoil my paper. Voted Tory all my life but not this time with this bunch of toe rags.

 

[gazzatriumph]

If there is a Reform UK candidate I'll vote for them otherwise I won't bother. People will say if you don't vote Tory you will let Labour in, well I've got to the point now where I don't care.

 

[half ton]

Instead of not voting there should be a box at the bottom with "none of the above" to tick, Maybe give the bastards something to think about when the results are read out.

I agree there out to be a 'None of the above option' and if that option gets the most votes then all candidates for that constituency have to stand down and be replaced by others.

Any party MP candidate should be chosen by members and/or constituents who should also have the ability to sack them at anytime if that MP is not performing or not representing their constituents correctly. Then the slimy self-serving bastards might be more inclined to do their job properly.

They wouldn't give a toss half ton, in years gone by both main parties had some decent MPs even if you didn't agree with them. In recent years the calibre of MPs has reached rock bottom from in it because they are from privileged backgrounds and can't do anything else to as thick as shit. None of them have any regard for this kingdom especially England.

IMHO, a leftie Labour government would be the final nail in this countries coffin.

THAT nail is already hammered in.

It's bad now Paul.
But it would/will be a whole lot worse under a labour (marxist) government.

 

[Sarky B’stard]

It's actually somewhere between depressing and frightening how little genuine talent polishes those leather benches. None of my former colleagues were actually rated as being anything special but all had a gob on them. One well known gent was a functioning alcoholic when selected to stand...... well, teeter, anyway.

 

[DD67]

What do you guys reckon the chances are of this not being blocked by the leftie lawyers that scuppered the Rwanda plan?..

No chance at all. We all know that it's simply a case of making out that they are going to do what the public wants but with no intention of actually doing it. In my opinion the current Conservative government are no different from the so-called opposition and a change of government won't actually change anything. Keir Starmer is simply the paler version of Sunak.

I hope you're wrong Marty. But I fear that you're right

Anyhoo, saw this..
