The UK is drifting, unhappy, losing faith in previously respected institutions (like the police), buffeted by extremists (often allowed to run amok), dismayed by decline, angry at the inability of the political class to do anything about it, despairing that the Westminster politico/media bubble pursues an agenda, issues and priorities (look at the obsession with Lee Anderson) which are not most people’s — and had enough of being lectured to by a disconnected, de haut en bas chattering class. Yet we have a Prime Minister and Leader of the Opposition incapable of speaking up for the moderate majority, who still have pride in their country and are desperate for strong leadership and guidance through the current morass — plus some hope/sign things will get better — all within the bounds of traditional British tolerance and fair play. This vacuum is dangerous.
@ClarkeMicah@kategarraway It made for brilliant radio, hard to believe it all came to an end so suddenly when Derek was sacked. He was replaced by Austin Mitchell but I think you agreed on too much. Then the station changed all it's programming over to sport virtually overnight and that was that.
Pubs are not creches. Stop bringing your toddlers. Amazing as it may seem to parents, I don't want to sit through a cacophony of noise and watch shitty nappies being changed while I'm having a pint.
Thread. Regardless about where you stand on Boris & misleading Parliament, something gnawing at me: why no outrage at a whole range of Covid-related misleading statements at the time? Remember when we all discovered that vaccine helped indivs but didn't prevent transmission? 1/4
Can't ring 150 due to 11 hour time difference and currently at sea. Please can you get it sorted, need data for Uber, boarding passes, hotel bookings etc and screwed without it.
