It’s interesting that terms like “Awful April” and “Cost of Living Crisis” are so rapidly adopted. I’m convinced they are thought up in something like a Civil Service or lobby group PR panel and then given to media. Both terms assure us that these things are short-lived and not usual when we know that “Austerity” (a less reassuring one) is now a permanent state of affairs. This is the way it’s going to be forever. Unless we go for the pitchforks and torches.
“How dare anyone say the UK is a plutocracy!” says red-faced gammon swilling down a warm pint of bitter in Ye Olde Pubbe. “Our man Nigel is a ‘onest as the day is long and a true man of the people! Being a multi-millionaire ‘ee don’t need no ‘undred millionaire from no yank.”
Leave it out! Farmers are the good guys. The “Farmy Army” are only doing their best to avoid paying tax. How are their kids going to go to public school and Oxbridge if they have to pay tax like the rest of us? They haven’t got two shillings to rub together and all they can afford is a brand new Jag this year.
They’re all at it, not just Russians. Notice how mamy Americans are active in Westminster politics.
Nanny state etc. What do people want? A government that looks after them? The freedom to vote means the freedom to die of chicken-egg-poisoning. Dying of food poisoning is a fundamental British value that woke experts will have to rip from my stinking hands. (or something like that.)
I saw that one of the polls predicted the tories would be left with only 25 seats.
That’s 25 seats too many!
He claimed that he wears a hat following a hammer attack which left him hospitalised and severely scarred.
Jeffrey Hunter is pretty wooden in the role (as are almost all the actors in The Cage). He comes across as a flat, somewhat listless characters with issues with women. Anson Mount plays the role with a much better sense of the humanity of Pike.
I'd love to see a literal remake but there are scenes that just wouldn't work (eg. the creepy scene where the young female ensign speaks to him).
It’s been reported in several places. For example:
“Despite its problems, owners of the chain, led by the Wilkinson family, took £3m in dividends in the 12 months to the end of February 2022.”
That photo of Boris is great. No really a ladies' man... more like my Nan.
It’s almost like Sunak and Starmer are in competition to see how many things they can pledge NOT to do. The age of inverted political campaigning!

You have to feel sorry for them, though. Those guys are just asset rich and cash poor... that's why the UK needs to not tax them so much and, instead, cut the benefits of those sponging disabled and poor who don't own anything. Those guys are the wealth creators (even though they actually suck the wealth out if everyone else's lives). Just feel so sorry for them.
