    Christ Tone, you've mentioned the poll tax. Hope you've got your tin hat on. Should smoke the hiding socialists out of hiding on here though lol.

    Quote from that report "Mr WE Jones and his wife were in their 70s, living on modest pensions, and under the poll tax would be paying more than twice what they paid under the old system of rates, while better-off people in large houses would be paying less. He accused the prime minister of being uncaring"

    I still say it should (being a local tax) have nothing to do with income or size of house but rather how many adults using available council controlled facilities....let's leave it there for the sake of this thread......

    Not sure selling social housing at a very good discounted price was a good move, families bought the houses on their parents behalf and made a killing as house prices went up, and those homes were never replaced that was the problem.
    They had lived in social housing in many cases donkeys years and paid rent nothing in comparison to people who took a mortgage out to own their own property.
    As for the miners strike if that was above board let's have a public enquiry sometime in the future and lay the truth on the table of what happened, Im afraid it wont happen under a Tory government for sure.

    Kyle Walker has a sex party during lockdown. What a tool!. Should never play for England again.

    Jack Grealish visiting his mate during lockdown. Should never play for England.

    Walker wouldnt get in the team now anyhow. There are 2 or 3 better right backs at the moment

    As for Grealish, from what I have seen, vastly overrated

    Didn't you get an invitation.

    Both should never play for their country again, don't you think that's a little OTT ?.

    Well I am not having a midget party? Going to have a massively party when this is done with.

    No, not going OTT at all. They are a disgrace.

    That's really, really sad. There have been some poignant stories recently but yours must rank somewhere towards the top!

    Careful @Hoochy-Min@Hoochy-Min I have a suspicion it might be a ploy and just be a cosy 'dinner' for two ... you and Fordy!

    Follow the Govt's advice. Keep your distance. Stay safe ;)
