    HS2 has been a disaster from the off, why are we so bad at large infrastructure projects?

    Anyway, this Northern Powerhouse malarkey is going well isn't it...

     

    .....because we have a terribly inefficient work force, is my guess

     I prefer the French system. Some on here wouldn’t. 

     

    I like the look of the French system. Our state pension, sadly, will always be shit until we start putting a larger percentage in.

    He's losing support. That's not getting under the skin of the right people, it's potentially losing the Democrat's presidency.

    And giving it back to Trump.

    Can Kamala Harris not run instead? - I honestly have no idea, but as VP, should/would she not be next in line?

    He can't stand next time round surely?

    Nowt to do with politics, he clearly struggles at times, and not on the odd occasion. With Trump likely as the alternative, just get a decent, well mannered person in with full faculties. 

    I'll be surprised if he does, but it is the United States of America, so absolutely anything is possible.

    Are these Koreans all called Jesus ?

    The pacific is a lot of water to walk across

    I think it involved Russia, into Alaska and then down through Canada, which is maybe went he thought he and his pals could be "front line"

    There is a lot of them about, can I Assume you were in one of the southern states ?

    In Vegas, this bloke was from Washington, about an hour away from Seattle, so as far north as you're getting really (Alaska aside obvs) 

  7. I've just got back from the US, and I was speaking a full blown conspiracy theory nut job yesterday. 

    Get ready for this... 

    Trump has to get back into power, because Biden is working closely with both China and North Korea. What people don't realise, is that because North Korea is so closed off and secretive, they've been able to develop, along side China a super army. North Korea now actually has a population that is three times bigger than the US, and it will be a land invasion. If Biden wins the next election, then that's what will definitely happen, as he'll help as he's making the US Army "weaker" and will let them in. The whole Russia/Ukraine war, isn't real, it's just being used as some sort of distraction, and a way for Biden to get the US to send their arms away from home territory, so the army is weaker, and will have to let North Korea march in and take over, as they won't have the fire power to stop them. 

    This bloke, who was only about 30, is 100% sure this will happen if Biden wins again. The lad, and his mates are stockpiling guns and ammunition and will do all they can to prevent this land invasion. 

    Fucking bonkers

    Collaborative research with UK scientists stopped and all because the EU felt free movement of cooked meats was more important than allowing life saving research, the EU project takes precedent to saving lives... this is what the FPBE mob want apparently. 

     

    Fair enough, I do see it that both sides have been idiots though, not just the EU, with the UK being utterly blameless, as you do

    Cakes are fine its the cooked meats they stopped life saving research for 3 years for.  

    It'll be interesting to hear Boltys view when he returns, as he said a few months ago we definitely shouldn't be rejoining, as it means an alignment with the EU. Which is fair enough. 

    So, by your rational, he, and Farage etc, all want to stop life saving research 🙂

     

    Just a thought, and it might be a bit "out there" but maybe they didn't stop doing their research and working with other member states. It might just have been the UK want included. If, as you suggest all research across the EU was stopped, then that really is bad

    And our slow creep back towards EU membership begins...

    UK rejoins EU science research scheme Horizon

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-66737714

    This had been coming for a while. Some will like it, some won't. The interesting thing is that it means, for any projects that we get involved with, we come back under the ECJ, which I know loads of people really don't like. The really good news is that it should allow for free movement of people, services and goods between us and the EU (with regards to specific projects)

    Hmmm that’s interesting. Does your Sikh wife know about your racist thoughts? Do you think racist stuff towards her family? Let’s see an earlier quote of you -

    Infact sweep tell me this. Have you in your life ever had a racist thought?

    Yes, loads, where have I suggested I'm not racist? 

    My wife does know my thoughts, but as a woman, she knows also to keep quiet and not question anything that I do or say. I don't see her family very often, as they live over in India. I allow her to go there once a year to see them, but I'm too busy and also quite frankly, can't be bothered

    Somebody elderly is dependent on me and will not move away. So I’m kinda stuck. 
     

    I take it when you watch the wanderers you don’t sit side by side with the, as you would call them the scum of society? Aka Poorer people than you? Do you reckon your hatred of poor white people came from your parents? Do you reckon racism came into play? Do your children and wife think like you?

    You ask a lot of questions. When I go to the games, I prefer to be in a corporate surrounding, so I'm less likely to get my pocket picked, or catch something from the scutters.

    I don't hate white people, I don't really hate anybody. I can look down on them because I'm better than them, but that doesn't mean I hate them. My wife is more tolerant than I am, but then again she is a Sikh, and it's part of her religion to be more tolerant. The children have friends of all colour and creed, as long as they don't bring them to my house, I'm happy for them to mix with who they please, as long as they're law abiding and not too poor. As they're at boarding school, most of their friends have a bit of wealth about them anyway, so it's not really an issue

    When my circumstances change I will be doing.you must be a popular poster to many on here I bet being a POC. There’s a guy called spider on here who collects friends from different nationalities. If you don’t believe me just check his pictures on social media. He’ll love you. Off subject, tell me how does a middle class black man from Barbados who has never lived in Bolton become a Bolton wanderers fan? 

    I just picked a team one day, when playing Championship Manager as a kid, and here we are.

    Why do your circumstances need to change? - Surely it's up to you to change them, or are you saying you're a loser who is stuck in a place he doesn't like, and has no way of changing that. How sad

    Not at all mr Barbadian. You’ve just added a bit of culture to the street and made it a more desirable place to live if people like frank_spencer would have you believe. Tell me Coming from a black family from Barbados were your ancestors descendants from slavery?

    More than likely, but I've not looked into it, as I'm not that bothered, as it happened such a long time ago. Were your ancestors part of the slave trade, or did they benefit as a result of it? There are winners and losers everywhere, always have been, and always will be. You just have to make sure that you're on the right side - fuck those who come before or after, it's up to each person to sort themselves out.

    You've made it clear that you don't want to live amongst or near Muslims, nobody makes you. You can move away from Bolton anytime you like

    The farce regarding schools this week sums them up. A nobody minister with no personality or knowledge to deal with an issue being stood in front of a camera and making the situation seem even worse. A PM , who used to be Chancellor saying it is not his fault. Even the Daily Mail have turned on the Govt today, which implies there is a leadership challenge coming.

    This mean instead of dealing with any of the issues in schools, on the railways, in the NHS, in the tax offices, in the boats, in the economy the focus will be on more infighting and Norines book. 
     

    The list of people the Govt have blamed for the current mess is endless; leftie lawyers, barristers, railway staff, teachers, doctors , nurses, Putin, EU, driving instructors, MSM, every other media type, Labour, civil servants.  Covid, each other (but not themselves), the SNP, the NHS, Sadiq Khan, the Irish Border, (but not Brexit), people who live in London, Climate scientists, climate deniers,world economy, BOE, Boris (but also not Boris), Truss (but also not Truss), May (not as bad as others but no one defends her) , the blob, the establishment, Farage, GB News (unless they are presenters) , house building (too much and too little) and the Welsh.

    Sorry to anyone I missed. 

    I read something earlier saying that it is perfectly possible that there will be a leadership challenge, can you imagine what a shitstorm that would be

    No because I live in an area that has just over 50% white people. Would you agree that your area is too white? Should that not be a concern in this day and age? How can you seriously look people in the eye and claim multiculturalism is great for the country yet live in an area where there is none? 

    I'm the only black person on my street, should I move out do you reckon?

    And there we have it. A middle class snob who openly hates poor Asian people. Despises them infact. He wouldn’t piss on a poor Asian fella if he was on fire. Cannot stand the sight of them. Would you rather have them killed or sent back to their motherlands?

    Correct, I sneer at those with less than I have. Including these honkies who you seem to love so much

    “Myton, which has about 1,800 pupils, now receives about £35,000 a year in capital funding to spend on building maintenance - less than a quarter of the funding received in 2010, head teacher Andy Perry says.”

     

    Can any Tory mathematicians patronise us and explain that this is actually an increase when you take into account bond prices, inflation and Covid furloughs etc

    Or even better, give us a graph 🙂

    You may find this hard to believe

    But folk will still vote for them.

    Just to “annoy” a wokey they don’t like though, so it’s not for any political reasons

    Incredible isn't it. Even those who are staunch Conservative Party voters must see that this lot have to be ousted as soon as possible
