I am yes. Quite common, not just in Sodor 🙃

 

I presume we aren't talking red flags? But please elucidate, this clearly isn't my field...

England rather than the UK. 

 

It's worth running a fact check on that one, bud.

Admittedly, the problem appears more acute in Englandshire, but that's as much a function of population density as anything else.

If they're saying nothing then how are they backing the Tories? 

 

We're still years out from an election...let the Tories hang themselves. There's very little need for Labour to promise anything at all that could be used as a stick to beat them if they then couldn't deliver it. 

Cause they're doing nothing, feck, Wes even attacked the a Union. They're not labour, they're Tory light, so you'd be as well voting for the real thing, if you were English. Up here, They're one and the same.

It's deliberate, bud. And I don't now why.

Madeley is the gammon’s gammon. An utter welt of a man. He’s a shit presenter and an even worse journalist. I have no idea why he is employed where he is.

For that very reason. Morgan, Madeley, Rinder are all right wing preachers. They are supposed to be presenters, yet all we hear are their opinions. 

 

Morgan is finished after his cosy up to his fellow incel.

 

Tate, Morgan, Ronaldo and all incels.

Shouldn't be long until Madeley is on GBNews or Talk TV.

Well suited.

He's employed where he is because he's bang on their target audience.

 

You have to put it into the context of a running order on ITV of that shite, Phil and Holly and then Loose Women. 

 

Imagine now that you're wired into that for 5 or 6 hours a day and then you can understand how the Tories get in and things like Brexit happen.

Good point about watching that shite every day. Telling you who you should be angry at (Strikers, folk in inflatable dinghies and Meghan). Imagine all the Karen's in the UK getting drip fed that shite every day?

Nothing about Prince Andrew, the cost of energy, the cost of fuel, the cost of food.

Telling us that more money is being put into the NHS, but forgetting that it cost more to run, because of energy, fuel, food, supplies, inflation etc .  But putting these working class heroes wage up and it's :yadayada:

Co-ordinated narrative with the BBC, ITV, SKY and a multitude of other media (Daily Mail, The Scotsman, The Sun, Daily Express etc.). Wonder why? 🤔

ITV is just one big clique.

 

Schofield and the giggling dimwit beside him are laughing all the way to the bank.

 

As for the rest - Overpaid opinionated pretentious W️'s

I remember watching a bit of This Morning when Martin Lewis was on giving his usual  advice. He was basically saying that nobody really knows what they spend in a year but asked a rhetorical question whilst looking at Holly if she knew how much she spent?

 

Her face just dropped as she squirmed with embarrassment and guilt before realising he wasn't looking for a figure just a No or not really after Schofield stepped in to save her blushes.

I follow Fergal Sharkey on twitter and this exposing water companies is his thing nowadays. It’s really shocking some of it. 
All these CEO’s on huge salaries and billions extracted for shareholders while they dump billions of gallons of raw shit into our rivers. 
He’s exposed it up here as here as well. 
Apparently it’s harder to get the data here but you can bet it’s happening.

There's a hell of a lot of people who's only interaction with what's happening in the real world comes via Phil & Holly and whatever their Facebook algorithm has selected for them. 

 

There's a few of them post on here. You know them. They post outrageous headlines and shitey articles without ever reading the articles.

What does that nitwit think is going to happen if the rail companies, and others, keep getting away with dumping people out of their jobs just provide more profit for their shareholders and directors' bonuses?

They'll end up "sitting on their backsides waiting on state handouts", because nobody in government ever seems to come up with alternative,  modern, industries that those people made redundant can take up employment in. It's easy to throw people of of their jobs. It requires imagination and intelligence to provide alternative jobs. Something this government and it's cheerleaders are devoid of.

Why people like her are actually given media platforms, and listened to, is beyond me. It can only be for propaganda purposes to wind up the hard of thinking and trying to deflect responsibility.

As funny as it is this is exactly why Steve Hedley isn't the assistant general secretary anymore and why he doesn't get to speak in public very often.

Maybe. He's a loose cannon though and he's said plenty in the past that doesn't represent me or many of my colleagues. He's far too aggressive and his mannerisms and tone aren't helpful.

 

Mick Lynch and Mick Whelan have this part nailed.

Bit harsh, teachers at the school our girls go to did loads of good stuff during the lockdowns, but this has the potential to kick off because plenty of parents will be hacked off about having to make arrangements for the kids on random days

......which explains why Mick Lynch and/or Mick Whelan didn't appear. 

Is it possible, even faintly, that the British population are now wakening from a 40+ year slumber and realising they've been gaslit all this time?

And dry-rogered tae.

Government's solution to health workers going on strike..........is to threaten to sack them.

 

Yeh, that'll help the problem with a lack of staff...sack them, and replace them with who............

 

The other thing I had to laugh at was also the government demanding that striking nurses have to provide a minimum staffing level on strike days, wonderful, safe minimum staffing levels are one of the things nurses are striking for in the first place.

This shows you just how out of touch this government is.

I should add that, in Scotland there has been legislation passed by the Scottish Parliament in 2019 ensuring safe staffing levels, however it's not due to be implimented until at least April 2024.  Wales already has a safe staffing level law.

 

But at least it's in the pipework in Scotland, there is no such law in England.

They've got the same legislation all over Europe as well
