I saw that too. Excellent advert.

I just saw a thought-provoking tweet about the projected outcome of the GE. Much as itās immensely satisfying to see the Tories kicked into the long grass for the next parliamentary term, I agree that Labour needs to be held to account and if Reform continues on the current trajectory, I canāt see those chimps being much use as an opposition.

Farage thanked South Yorkshire police, adding: āI will not be bullied or cowed by a violent leftwing mob who hate our country.ā
Trashing our countryās economy and international reputation must be love then 
Anyway, perhaps he should start campaigning in a suit of armour Ć la St George

Farage would have approved of St. George - although having Greco-Turkish origins, he made no attempt to cross Europe to settle in the U.K. and was happy to serve in the Roman army instead.
Funny how Farageās ancestors probably arrived in Britain as refugees by boat.
The surname Farage, according to its owner, is of Huguenot origin. The Huguenots were members of the protestant church in France who fled in their tens of thousands from religious persecution.
As many as 500,000 left the country in the late 16th and early 17th Centuries, many of them settling in Britain.
Interesting. Links straight through to the registration and postal vote applications, took just a couple of minutes. Good job I committed my NI number to memory all those years ago. I honestly cannot remember the last time I used it.
So now the only problem is working out who to vote for, and honestly I have not a clue.

Err, a bit āOh Viennaā Iām afraid.
Relying on postal votes to arrive on time is a risky strategy in my opinion.
I thought people didnāt approve of body shaming on this forum?
I do to an extent. I donāt think, with her personal views on health, that Therese Coffey should ever have been health minister.
I thought it sent the wrong message.

That would mean the economy is as good or better than before Brexit if there is such a demand for the workforce.
It is over-simplistic and not a logical deduction, there are many possible reasons, for example, the current migrants are less productive than formerly so more are needed there is also the fact that more than a million UK people have left the workforce since the pandemic and need to be replaced.
In addition to skipping part of the D-Day commemorations and telling ITV that they āoverranā as if they were some kind of inconvenience, prevaricating when asked what he missed out on as a child, then plumping for āSky TVā, hereās Rishi Sunak asking a visitor to a soup kitchen whether heās in business. Answer: āno, Iām homelessā. Could a job in comedy be beckoning for Sunak? The next Norman Wisdom, perhaps? He already has the suits!
We didnāt have Sky TV either, the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea wouldnāt allow an ugly Sky dish on our Grade I listed mansion.
Iāve gone from rolling my eyes about Sunak and his hapless cabinetās gaffes to actively feeling sorry for them and wishing that the humiliation would stop. It seems Iām not alone either because I was listening to a podcast this morning which said this is a political phenomenon which is simply dangerous for the party during an election campaign. Bad policy, scandals and psycho-dramas are bad enough but when you start to be regarded as wretched, broken and pathetic, youāre sunk.

I have actually been wondering if heāll get a few sympathy votes just for being such a hapless pup!
