@nationalrailenq@TfL@greateranglia Do you think maybe running 3 Elizabeth line trains to abbeywood and 1 every 30 mins to shenfield is a good idea when there’s issues getting to shenfield?
Paul Merson mentioned a footballer called Charlie Oatway as someone who man marked him out a game once. Being that I’m nosy, I got on Wikipedia to see Charlie Oatways story. Do me a favour please, go on Wiki and read his full name.
As someone who’s a US veteran but half British, I’ve got some shit to say.
During my 10 years in the Navy and Army I’ve spent a lot of time working close with NATO operatives from all over Europe.
The British soldiers used to always make fun of me because I had a US flag on my shoulder, always being told (you’re In the wrong uniform).
Until 2009 when I was in Afghanistan operating medevac flights from Bagram to Ramstein and we had about 60 UK soldiers being flown back, missing limbs, almost fatal wounds and even a few deaths.
That was when I realized that It didn’t matter of which flag was on our uniforms, we were all brothers and sisters fighting in the common enemy.
457 British soldiers lives were lost fighting a war we asked them to jump into and you know what, they did without fuckin hesitation!!
That’s what you call a true ally. A true hero. And real brother in arms.
So to that fat orange piece of shit who said that they were standing “a little back off the front lines” I want to remind all of his boot licking cult members that I have a friend who’s a former royal marine, that lost his left arm and right leg for being “a little back off the front lines” and even though he’s living his life with his family, he made the ultimate sacrifice. When I spoke to him today he wasn’t just angry, he felt betrayed. I reassured him that you don’t know how grateful we are. So to all who are laughing at this……….
Go FUCK YOURSELVES!!!
I couldn’t be more proud to serve my country during the hell that we went through in both Iraq and Afghanistan, but I couldn’t be more prouder than serving along side my NATO forces.
Because if they weren’t there, I would probably be dead today!!!
FUCK TRUMP ALL THE WAY TO HELL AND HIS BOOTLICKING ASSHOLE SIDEKICKS
MAY THEY ROT IN PISS!!!!!
Minimum wage in 2005 was £5.05 and a Freddo was 10p. Meaning that one hour of work got you 50 Freddos.
Fast forward to 2025, minimum wage is £12.21 and a Freddo is 35p. Now one hour of work will only get you 34 of them.
That's a 142% rise in pay but a 250% rise in frog shaped chocolate bars.
If wages had kept up with the price Freddos, the minimum wage would be £17.50 an hour.
The economy’s in shambles and yes I’m measuring it in chocolate frogs. But this post is about more than that. Too many people are working full time and struggling to survive because absolutely everything is increasing faster than wages.
Something needs to change.
