Biting my tongue. People who don’t use rational thought to form their opinions are unlikely to accept it as a reason to change them.

Ever wondered where you rank in the #Abbo all time list (since 2010, to the best of my knowledge)...

If you are complaining about the budget because of the mansion tax, the small increase in dividend tax, or the amount of your spare money you can put into a cash ISA or pension, then I really have no sympathy for you.

[Nic @paperboy_77]

Just an observation…

The freezing of the tax thresholds beyond 2028 is unfortunate, and certainly not a policy I would pursue. However, it is also a gradual effect rather than an immediate shock, which impacts only as wages rise.

[Nic @paperboy_77]

And of course, we shouldn’t forget that this is very much a Conservative policy — who do you think froze them to 2028 in the first place?

@nedboulting When you have time for another pod interview, it would be good to hear you and TNTs Rob Hatch talk about your collective experiences commentating on other sports outside cycling…

[Nic @paperboy_77]

Not sure I’m that bothered about Farage being a racist. It’s more concerning that he is a blatant con-artist.

Religion is humanity’s worst ever invention.

And by quite some margin.

Luke warm take:

Almost everyone commenting on the Tylenol thing is way out of their depth with respect to clinical trial design and drug safety surveillance.

And that certainly includes you know who.

Person. Woman. Man. Camera. TV.

Bloke’s a genius remember 🤦‍♂️

[Nic @paperboy_77]

It is somewhat incongruous to argue that accepting displaced foreigners threatens your own national identity — even urging militant action to prevent it — while simultaneously vilifying the same instinct when it is expressed elsewhere.

Likewise when the situation is reversed.

People inclined to vote Reform should probably stop having any vaccinations.

Irony #1 Leaving the trading block actually increased number of migrants in the first place.

Irony #2 It is the con man and his mates that are in fact largely responsible for country’s decline.

[Nic @paperboy_77]

Privileged con man convinces majority of population that economic trading block is cause of their woes. Immediately afterwards it becomes apparent it was not.

Same grifter then declares that tiny group of migrants is to blame instead. The misguided fools believe him once more.

[Nic @paperboy_77]

The most powerful thing you can do for your country (and in fact humanity) is get an education. Learn maths & science. Study history. Do better. Don’t listen to morons & grifters.

[Nic @paperboy_77]

I gather that civil war is coming. Time to rise up against corporate greed, and the wealthy few? Time to rebalance the social divide and restore a healthy fair society?

[Nic @paperboy_77]

Wait… what do you mean, we are only fighting against immigration?? One of the few things driving economic growth in the UK. The one defence we have against an aging population. Our historic cultural strength.

[Nic @paperboy_77]

I’m sure I remember reading a lot of posts saying that flag waving is just virtue signaling 🤔🤣

[Nic @paperboy_77]

I hope Farage gets voted in & deports every single one of the ~38,000 immigrants that arrive by small boat each year. (About the same number that watched Leeds vs Everton).

Just so the people obsessing over this can see exactly how little difference it makes to their lives.
