How do we resolve the Brexit mess?

Who's paying for your triple locked pension?

Me in the amount I have paid in Tax and NI over the years

Another smug pensioner?

Nope, I have just ensured I have been careful enough with money to ensure I am not a burden on the State to keep me in my retirement.

You have to keep the emotions out of politics it makes no difference whether it is my mum or any one else’s. When in opposition it is so easy to say what is wrong with the ruling party. When in power it’s a whole lot different As regards the NHS it’s all about Cost Benefit Analysis. If it’s a relative and £50k of the latest drug would keep them alive for an extra couple of months I would say go for it. That £50 k from a neutral persons point of view could provide much more to other patients. So hard decisions have to be made . There is a lot of waste in the NHS, it’s the biggest employer in the World outside the Chinese Army so there are always going to be huge demands for its services. History has shown that Governments are not very good when spending other people’s money. However there will always be plenty of people out there who are quite happy to tell them where to get some more from as long as it’s not from them.

I wish your mum good health

Too late. She died many years ago but thank you anyway. I am sure she would appreciate your good wishes

I think there will be a public backlash when people are struggling in the new year.

That will start the next phase of the political cycle.

May be, but 600 people sitting in a bubble with limited funds and massive debts who cannot agree anything amongst themselves are realistically going to change very little that will affect any individual.

Doesn’t Liverpool have two cathedrals?

A cathedral makes it a city.

I don't think it is automatic. You have to apply. I think that you must have a cathedral in order to qualify though.
I stand to be corrected, however.

Myth. A city does not need a cathedral to be considered a city.

It's done.

All well and good both sides of the vote calling each other but it's done.

It's still the big fuck off elephant in the political room and not one main party acknowledges it unless it's for their own shirt term political benefit of shoring up temporary support.

Give me some hope and positivity of how this country is going to built up again. Now we're "free" use it. Stop blaming COVID to rape our public resources and give all the cash to a few rich cunts who donate to a party.

Start offering us hope. The next election should be fought on courage. The courage to set out a full generational plan of building up the country that we can all take pride in together. It can be done.


As long as some people with their own agendas aren't allowed to see any further division between us all it can be done and the benefits seen in the future.

If you look at any thread on any site on the Tories or Brexit they are always dominated by Tory haters and Remainers by about a 10-1 majority. If that reflects the real world population then I am afraid we have all been conned,and the two separate votes were a fraud and instead we should have Remained & had a Corbin Government.

If that’s nonsense, then the only other explanation is that Remainers and Tory haters are more gobby and venomous than those that voted Tory and Brexit who, now after the event, cannot be arsed arguing and are happy to keep quiet as they got what they wanted.

If you want an example of how it worked in reality then Miss Gobby herself Angela Rayner who Labour in their wisdom put forward to front the Media Campaign during the last Election debates thought it was a good idea to talk over any Tory taking part in the debate.

Her interruptions were always met with rousing cheers from her supporters which gave her more encouragement to keep doing it but silence from everybody else in the audience who perhaps thought she was being a little bit uncouth.

With such popularity she must have thought how did it all go so wrong.

Meanwhile, John Major, was sitting quietly, counting his votes...
