@Frid45 Oh, yeah, we had so much support in 1982. So much that we had to make sure we kept forces back to defend Gibraltar in case the Spanish took a swipe and let’s not mention the French support to Argentina with the Exocets.
@andrewc44104127@ramonagusta Someone with an immature (mis)interpretation of consent doesn’t come up with that phrase on their own. These people have collaborators working in their behalf and they are called lawyers.
@NotFarLeftAtAll Given that following the cut in VAT on my electricity my standing order has just been increased by £26, I would be interested. However, what make this pledge any more believable than Starmer’s £300 pledge?
@Lordmiles We didn’t win a war in 1982 because war was never declared. Bombing Argentina would have screwed up the very little international support we did have.
@benonwine I would prefer the statues to be of the African tribal chiefs who sold the Africans into slavery. Then all those of African descent can look up to those statues and know who to ask for reparations
@StevenJonMiller As a 60-something but not yet a pensioner, I don’t see the triple lock as a line in the sand. Happy to go to a double lock: inflation or average wage. Assuming the state pension is currently an acceptable level, the ‘double lock’ will maintain its value
@TrisOsborneMP Don’t go blaming the war in Iran or Ukraine for our current woes if you are going to ignore the effect Covid and the war in Ukraine had on the last government.
@StephenMorganMP Must be different in Portsmouth. I went on a bus last week and it was still £3, just as it has been since Starmer/Reeves capped it at an additional 50%.
@DookistAgain This is the sort of thing Burnham should be targeting, not the cancellation of subscriptions. AA/RAC and Broadband always do this introductory offer, which is really the actual cost, then ‘fine’ you for loyalty/failure to switch.
