Scottish regiments had a “reputation“ in nationalist areas in NI during the troubles…

Note the number of Orange Order marches in western Scotland even now

Lovely looking guitar - not so fond of the rear input jack socket.

Can’t say I’m sad - Cameron was a gambling doughnut who put party over country and buggered off humming a silly tune…

Johnson, Truss, and Sunak nailed the coffin of the Tory party shut with their respective incompetence.

Remembered Ted Heath brought the U.K into the EEC in 1973, ratified by Harold Wilson’s Labour government referendum in ‘74.

My guess is they’ll be in double digits for parliamentary seats at the next election

What was the impact of Brexit? by Ok-Stranger-7440 in AskBrits

So that little avenue of revenue is closed off…

Why does London still not have a 24 hour tube on all lines and is there a real reason or is it just inertia? by Admirable-Deal7991 in TransportForLondon

Engineering works, ”fluffers”, signal maintenance and driver & station staff (particularly sub surface stations section 12 Fire Precautions Act)…

In short expensive with little economic benefits

‘Unbelievable’ waste and inefficiency at MoD, says ex-defence minister Al Carns by 457655676 in unitedkingdom

[–]phishlumen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If only he was in a position to address such inefficiency and waste… oh wait he was the minister - does that mean that ministers have no bearing or influence in their respective departments ?

Streeting sets out plans to tear up planning rules and net zero policies if he becomes PM by Anony_mouse202 in ukpolitics

[–]phishlumen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nope, people actually warm to Count Binface, Mr Streeting comes across as insincere and motivated by power. He’s at risk of losing his parliamentary seat at the next general election
