who has the time to go digging around for these things?
absolute virgins
It's the sort of thing that weirdo Craig would wank himself silly about, and then put some nobby poll up asking opinions......and then take down when the general opinions don't agree with his own

He'll have been watching a documentary about the Romans or something
Who is he referring to, when he says "these people" is it foreign types?

Explain.
Start at one of the northern most Scotcher Islands, and then travel to Australia over the North pole

Be further fucked up; Edinburgh is west of Bristol
to be fair, that's the one that usually get's offered up (as opposed to it being Bolton)
I also like the fact that Alaska is both the Westernmost and Easternmost state in the US

Going for a walk now but a question.
Why did a bunch of flag waving, lefty, Palestinian supporters think it was a good idea to harass, mainly pensioners, at the entrance to Barclays Bank in Bolton town centre yesterday?
As @bolty58would say, water cannons and cattle prods, that's what is required for such occasions.

If we are going beyond the 7th October to explain or ‘take sides’, could someone set a date. To the nearest century.
That's the thing, it just goes back so far. It's a shame that people feel the need to "pick" a side and then stick to it. From my limited knowledge, neither side seem too palatable.

The big question this whole budget raises is this:
Where does Little Whitt do his shopping? Harrods or Fortnum & Mason?
In Morrisons Hienz Soup is 5 tins for a £5 note. Now, I’m no math genius but I reckon that’s about a pound per tin.
I noticed the same deal in Asda yesterday, but they were selling Heinz 😉

Interesting article in the Guardian. People will make their own minds up as to the reasons and blame but things are looking gloomy whoever presides over the next 5 years. There’s a graph as well!
I don't doubt there are tough times ahead - and as is always the way, the opposition (more than likely the Conservative Party) will be jumping up and down every time the Government (more than likely Labour) talk about cuts or raising taxes. The public, as ever, will have very short memories.
All we can hope is that we can back to Politics being a little bit boring, and those in charge just set about concentrating on fixing the economy, rather than the circus we've had for the last couple of years. It'll not happen though.

People earning more than £131,000 or between £32,000 and £55,000 win from the government's tax changes, but everyone else is paying more

Just did the guardian budget checker and that’s what it said.
I've just done that, it's quite good - obviously it's looking at more than just the NI, that is capped at £754
Apparently I'm £1319.50 better off, and Mrs Sweep is £610.50 better off - although I'm sure she'll find a way of ensuring I actually end up with less money

fair enough - the sites I look at say it's capped at £754. I guess we'll soon find out in our pay packets 😉
As @Trafstates though, it does seem to benefit higher earners rather than the lower earners.....which I don't mind, but it does widen that gap

Here we go again. Tall poppy syndrome. One of the worlds most successful entrepreneurs of all time yet he's a 'not right'. I'd say he's very much right.
Hoping he helps get DT over the line. I can't wait for the gnashing of teeth and cries of anguish from the deplorables.
He's certainly a real success story, no doubting that. He is a fucking odd ball though, I don't think there is too much doubt about that either.
He, to me, has the look and demeanor of a Bond villain

I always like Maitlis, she's one of the better ones when she's interviewing people I find.

You’re £1500 better off from a small cut in NI? Lucky you.
This is just another Tory policy that widens the gap, sadly.
I thought the maximum was £754, I'm probably wrong though - unless @Mounts Kipperis also counting the 2% cut that we had a few months ago as well maybe?!?!

My wife’s part time worker shes no better or worse off. I’m better off by £1500… doesn’t offset the 6k extra per year I’m paying for my mortgage.
Blimey, that's some hike. My mates has just gone up a touch over £12K per year, since last month, so he's really feeling it
I've had a look, and apparently I'll be £754 a year better off as a result of the 2% cut yesterday - which is nice.

You know how it works. It's only rigged if Trump loses, like the last time

Who are you voting for? You seem to be interested in other people’s choices.
I'm not sure who will be standing, Labour don't usually bother here (not that I'd vote for them anyway) - I'll see nearer the time, when I know who is actually standing. Possibly Green, LibDem, Independent or even Reform - anybody but the Conservatives really (and I've previously voted Conservative every time I've ever voted before in GEs and locals)

Eh? Where did I say that I’m defending the Tories? @Sweepcan answer too if he likes.
Ps. Don’t forget our bet😉I didn't say that you're defending the Tories, you've never said who you vote for, or who you'll vote for this time around (as far as I'm aware)

Gammons like him because.... He tells it like it is, and says what the silent majority are thinking
.........and he'll 100% lose his seat in the GE, thankfully
