Optimistic retired SME businessman but disillusioned British citizen. Hoped Starmer was the answer but looking unlikely. My advice? Buy a V12 before you can’t.

@PlaidExposed @DanWalesReform Is she qualified for the job? Someone post her CV.

GOOD POINT👇👇👇
To all the Supermarkets and big commercial stores that operate 'Self Check-outs'....... You are heading towards almost exclusively self-checkout now. Yesterday I went shopping at one such store and the lady checking receipts at the exit was stopping everyone.
I didn't choose to participate in that nonsense, I had already filled my trolly, emptied my trolly and scanned the items, refilled my trolly and so I just skipped the exit line and left.
I heard her saying "Umm - Excuse me “ as I kept walking and raised the receipt above my head, leaving the store.
You can either trust me to do self-checkout, or you can put your cashiers back in place like it used to be.
• I'm not interested in proving that I did your job for you.
• If you want me to be a cashier with no training then that's your problem not mine.
• Keep employing young people and give them job opportunities.
YOU DON'T PAY ME TO SCAN MY OWN SHOPPING.
YOU DON’T GIVE ME STAFF DISCOUNT FOR WORKING FOR YOU.
Signed ......All of us
People we need to share this statement its basically about PROFIT to the stores AND putting People out of a JOB....!!!

@GeorgeCochrane1 Actually, I’d rather he didn’t

[JonathanK @JonathanK56]

@AstroJake @StephenHill10 Remember the old adage ‘look after the pennies and the pounds will take care of themselves. £30k for a jet to Manchester? Politicians and civil servants never heard this saying in their youth. That’s why we can’t afford JB. Crazy

@SeneddWaste Does ‘fat fucker’ count as a diversity category or is that a diverse step too far?

[JonathanK @JonathanK56]

@SeneddWaste Bored with this now and the fuckwits involved. Reinstate and force retirement on the woke idiots who made and implemented the ruling. Without accountability-and risk stupidity will always encourage stupidity. Threatening livelihoods sharpens the mind

[JonathanK @JonathanK56]

@deijos1 @Plaid_Cymru They’ll get it when they deserve it. It’s not looking good though.

[JonathanK @JonathanK56]

@SeneddWaste How about F*** off?

[JonathanK @JonathanK56]

@BoastRhian @InTheTrenchesUK Free prescriptions but not much else.

[JonathanK @JonathanK56]

@ClarksonsFarm1 Don’t be daft. He’s more interested in a pound here and a pound there. When it involves thousands he’s not interested.

[JonathanK @JonathanK56]

@JacotheNorth @WelshGovernment A joke surely?

[JonathanK @JonathanK56]

@BBCPolitics A pound at a time

@RUKWales What happened to the old adage ‘do your job’? Don’t get sidetracked or distracted, just do your job to the best of your ability. Plaid need to follow this advice if they’re going to get anywhere

[JonathanK @JonathanK56]

@AbarthRocket595 @de_havas Won’t buff out? But seriously, heartbreaking news. Truly sorry for you. Checkout Matthewsons sale at the end of this month if you want to replace it. https://t.co/U5OBobo9J7

@puddlex129021 @DanWalesReform But the Police have control of their spending and waste on woke issues like this, which could easily be handled nationally with online training at much lower cost, could be eliminated and that money spent on actually getting police to attend a crime.

I wasn’t there, however this guy was:

"I’d like to put the record straight, because I was there.

People often forget how the Argentine troops were treated after the Falklands War. We treated their wounded, and many would not have survived without the medical care they received. They were fed, and their officers were even allowed to keep their sidearms for their own safety.

After facing each other in battle, that wasn’t easy, but it was the right thing to do.

They were fed, cared for, and many were transported home on Canberra. We also cleaned up the mess that had been left behind. There was no complaining—we just got on with the job.

Many of the Argentine troops were exhausted and relieved to be going home after experiencing the reality of war. They were defeated and demoralised, and many couldn’t even look you in the eye.

Many of those young soldiers were more afraid of their own officers and the military junta than they were of us. They had been sent into an impossible situation by leaders who would never share their hardships.

The Falklands’ climate and terrain are brutal, and the weather is unforgiving. I saw young men who were hungry, frightened, dirty, wet and cold, longing to be back with their families in Argentina. Many I spoke to, while sharing hot drinks and sweets, told me they never wanted to be there in the first place.

So before anyone starts abusing me, my family or my brothers-in-arms, remember this: we were there. We experienced the full cycle of war, and we also witnessed the immense relief of the Falkland Islanders when the invaders finally left.

To those in Argentina who still believe the stories told by defeated generals, I’d simply say this: many of us were there, and we know what happened. Don’t confuse propaganda with the reality witnessed by those who fought and those who surrendered.

The war is over. Britain won. History cannot be changed. It’s time to stop reliving old arguments and instead focus on building a better future for the people of Argentina rather than making repeated claims over the Falkland Islands.

As my grandmother used to say, “Children should be seen and not heard.” Sometimes it’s wiser to listen to those who were actually there.

War tests not only courage in battle, but also humanity in victory. I am proud that we showed both.

Feel free to share and comment “war is not a political football “ maybe you should try it sometime it’s not advisable

Lives broken families destroyed

Respect to those lost to war and those who are still fighting a war long ago."

I was in Jersey last week. Their east coast is only 14 miles from France. 7 fewer than Calais to Dover.
And yet...I wondered...why don't they get dinghies full of young men coming across?
Because they intercept them, pick em up, lock em up, and return them to France...a safe country.
With the full backing of UK Border Force.
So why don't we do that?

[JonathanK @JonathanK56]

@Plaid_Cymru @JonnyValleyBoy Schoolyard politics yet again from Plaid. Ffs, debate the matter at hand and not some obscure ‘lesson’ you dreamt up before morning break. I’m paying for better than this you absolute twat.

[JonathanK @JonathanK56]

@PoliticalWales @JonnyValleyBoy Petty much?
