What..!!! Bedlington back of the queue?! This has never happened in the whole of history... Oh, ah.., now that you come to mention it: we've been there so many many times! How about getting some plaques to hang under the Welcome to Bedlington signs that read: Twinned with If Only.

I happened to own it (jointly) for quite a few years. Was going to move in, but never did. Good sound building: they don't build them like that any more! Goodness, I hope it's "still standing"!

10:35 to hear the truth about the so-called Online Protection Bill and who and what it really protects. Colin Sutton's bit further on is masterful, and should be compulsory viewing for anyone in the police who wants to get on the right side of history. This present nonsense has to and must end!

Linked from today's Telegraph. P.S. Don't worry, I now live in a country where free speech is still possible! 😂

Thanks for that show of support HPW, but I was rater hoping to hear from someone who didn't agree with me. The figures for June now out are truly dreadful: the highest June borrowing in history if you ignore the Tory lunacy of the spending during the pandemic. In one single month, Labour added £20.7BN to our national debt. That's almost double the increase in debt in May. The terrible news though is that almost 80% of this money was simply squandered on interest payments (which themselves will attract even more interest). How does that in any way “fix the foundations”? As with many other issues, this government is gaslighting the electorate until the big reveal comes! Four more years? I think not!

Despite the political spin, it's perfectly obvious why Rachel Reeves was in tears during the HoC debate on welfare payment reductions. The realisation had finally dawned that she has taken on the hopeless task of balancing the UK's books. Hopeless because even the easy low-hanging fruit can't be plucked. We are supposed to believe that "the adults are now in charge", but like most of the guff from the Labour propaganda machine, exactly the reverse is true. Everything they've done to allegedly improve the economy has actually made our situation worse. The international bond markets have taken notice, and a 1970s type Sterling crisis is looming. How long this will take is anyone's guess. Some economists say it will strike in 2026. But one thing is for sure: this hopeless government won't last out it's five year term, and it will ALL end in tears!

Hey Ian! There's a mind-numbingly simple solution to your constituent's problem. So simple that even a Labour MP couldn't miss it if they really wanted to facilitate "change" (you know, that nebulous thing that Two-tier is always going on about!) Here's what you do: you go shopping for a rubber boat, the flimsier and cheaper the better! Then you drive your poor constituent down to the channel coast, inflate it and put this poor guy in it. You only need to push him a few hundred feet out to sea, and simply abandon him. Maybe hand him a letter to hand to the first human rights lawyer he comes across pointing out how his right to unlimited UK resources for his medical condition are being violated - a mere detail, but you get the idea? Before you completely abandon him, make sure he knows to pretend he can't understand the local lingo - hardly a challenge for a Geordie in Kent - and keep repeating "I asylum seek", until he's put up in the mandatory five-star accommodation! Starmer's legal buddies will take care of all the rest for you. Just go for it! The resulting publicity could improve your dire re-election prospects like nothing else could! All those worries about having to get a real job soon could be at an end!

I'm launching an appeal for a missing sentence! Aren't they paying you enough, Nicole?

At my age, the world is increasingly full of mysteries. Mind you, I DO in fact know what a woman is! 😅

I think he just posted on the wrong thread, Eggy! Will try to move it to somewhere meaningful. 😊

Yes, the so-called Democratic Party is now packed out with crazies. If they can't rig the vote, they will use any other means to prevail. There are elements in the Labour Party that, if they ever get power, will never relinquish it. They scream fascist at their opponents, but are in fact the real fascists.

Well... that didn't work, did it, Blob Party?! Going to have to think up some new ruses! I've always wondered how you can get away with attributing phobias to people's perfectly natural leanings. Probably the same reasoning that manufactures "non-crime hate incidents". Bad day for Stonewall - well, bad decade anyway!

Message Handling Protocol??? The BBC isn't a place for politics? You must be joking!
