No mate, I just know stuff. :)
Sometimes when I don't know stuff I ask other people. Apparently this is not the done thing - I should, like a lawyer, only ask questions I already know the answer to....:cool:

And so McDonell finishes Labour's big speech. More unicorns, this time on steroids: On top of abolishing student debt and fees, there'll be 4 day working weeks, workers owning 10% of companies, more free public services.

Affordability aside for a moment, it all sounds attractive stuff. Wondering though if people out there are going to be taken in by all this?

Also, Supreme Court judgement at 10:30am tomorrow. Reckon it's nailed on to back Gina. Cue the "Enemies" maelstrom.

After the inevitable brain drain, 10% of nothing is still nothing.

This particular sceptic is not buying this crock of sh*te.

Nothing is for free.

But the plodders at HMRC will not get to pick much of the fruit though.

'fraid not isca. Bilbo Johnson and his sidekick Gollum Javid have already scrumped the fruit off that one.

Now Lady Nugee is basically proposing that we should make enemies of the USA, Saudi Arabia and Israel.

Vote winner. Not.

I wouldn't be so sure Jinxy.

Saudi is a vile repressive regime.
Israel (at least under "BiBi") almost as much so as far as the Palestinians are concerned (though of course one DARE not criticise the sainted Mr Yahoo for fear of being called "antisemtic" as opposed to just despising his regime and its politics)
As for the good ol' USA??? Sorry, in my opinion for the last century they have generally been our bezzies when it suits their interests but not always. And, under arch-isolationist Trump, I respectfully suggest that at present they are even less to be trusted.
Which leaves us with?.....Europe????
