This is a football forum, but what i will say , is that not one of the politicians from any party , is worthy of running this country at present. They are all so detached from the reality of real life.

 

Don't worry...theres plenty more where they came from @Fordy

 

It's probably all true....

 

...and look at the mess the UK is in with the set of etonian clowns running this country for the last 12 years

 

Estonian?

 

I hope you are not suggesting that such a fine upstanding business man as Fordy , would employ illegal immigrants.

 

Thanks for @Bronco and how he votes he’s helping me bring them in.

Get them to the south and the Blue government sends them up to Bradford for free because Bradford Council can’t say NO. Happy days for a business like mine.

Gain by renting them a house also. Win, win! Wages from the government.

 

Suds' law..

 

I am saying that many of the British public are brainwashed by the influence of the media. Why do you think Blair was a buddy of Murdoch? The country within a country the City of London and their supporters that have included the media moguls like the Barclay brothers run this country.

 

Well they should go to places like Vegas, Barbados to practise coping with heat.

It’s raining on Wednesday so they will get over it.

 

Did you write Jackanory or is one just a fantasist?

 

Just imagine if Labour had got in you'd have had Fordys Car Washs in every Town and City in the UK.

 

Im forever blowing bubbles …..oh ! @Interested Bystander

 

why did blair make such an effort to cosy up to murdoch?

also broncs, a big part of vote leave's sucess was it's large scale use of behavioural analytics from Cambridge Analytica/AggregateIQ, in effect using records of people's behaviour online to target information at them designed to encourage specific behaviours. often this might not have been as on the nose as getting people to vote leave, it was also convincing certain groups of the populace not to vote at all. This sort of stuff also played a big role in Trump getting in.

 

I dont think that's fair or right given the amount of miraculous Brexit converts in the Tory party, Boris Johnson being one of them.

Whichever way on the political spectrum you lean on, it's an absolute fact that the media are; a) heavily influenced and b) heavy influencers.

A topical example is the last major heatwave in the UK back in 2003 - the news report suggests people head to the beaches and enjoy the sunshine in the anticipated 37c sunshine whilst taking sensible precautions such as suncream, water and headwear.

Now it's just fear mongering - it's death statistics, telling us repeatedly how our lives are in danger, don't leave the house, don't travel etc.

 

We are informed he delivered it. Have the Tories?
Have you a link to where the EU boasted it would keep Europ war free. The concept after ww2 was to help Europe remain war free. USA and its NATO allies decided otherwise in

The quality of the trade deals and income is woeful and today I believe our closest ally the USA has said it not interested in a free trade deal with the UK.
Re leaving it there - Fair enough Bronco you take care.

 

Broncs I believe it was you who said to me on this forum when brexit first happened see where we are in 2 years time with it.
Given Russia isn't in the EU and no member states have fought a war against each other since its' inception, I'd say it's done well on that front.

 

Going back to car washes, went to 'pit stop' on valley road today for a mini valet. When I got out of the car, I noticed there were loads of sleeping bags and rugs, with a small tv inside the car wash itself, with one of the workers actually asleep on one of the grotty sofas in there.

Makes me think that these workers are trafficked in and actually live in these almost inhuman habitats. None of them speak barely a word of English between them too.

 

And I thought you had a sense of humour mate, maybe I should have put a at the end.
