[Not in Crawley]

Just got my Council Tax through. 5.93% rise directly from the council, plus the Precept from the GLA of 9.5% meaning it's a delightful increase of £94.68 a year.

Interestingly it came with our polling cards for the GLA election in May, I'm sure that will swither other Band D property folk to vote Conservative, its a eye watering hike and given its for free transport for the under 18s and over 60s as the reasoning, its going down like a cup of cold sick.

Don't worry, Jol will get his back through our bet 😉

Salmond launched his own political party today 😆😆 should poke the nest a bit. Could also split some of the pro Indy vote as well 

looks like his gameplan is becoming clear

I've just got my Council Tax, it's almost fucking £3000 this year - I was only paying £1700 last year. Wish I'd not moved house now 🙂

This is going to be epic mate......might even take the next 6 weeks off to watch it.......cue Mick Brown 😄 🤣 😂 

[miamiwhite]

Oh, this is going to be a lively night on here when London Nicola Wanderer turns up, all battered and torn but manfully backing our Nicola 😉 💣 

Time to grab a bottle or two from Morrisons I think 🍷🍷

These are strange times. 
China engaging in slavery but no protests out on the streets.

Another Nationalist Party in Scotland, pretending to be socialists.

A new US president who doesn’t seem to know what day it is and people think that’s normal.

The EU don’t seem to know what day it is and people think that’s normal.

Theres probably more but I only read the BBC news site for 10 min.

No-one knows what day it is since the pandemic hit tbf

Did I say that ? NO.

What i did say repeatedly and something you cannot admit, is that the left are more active AS WE SPEAK  ?

Do you understand what AS WE SPEAK means ! 

Right now, this minute, in front of our very eyes...BLM, ANTIFA, I am speaking in facts proven up by news coverage, arrests made, damage caused, police injured....and what you and I can see before our very eyes, definitive proof which you won't accept........need i continue ?...........now, enjoy your lentils and have a nice day😘 

I did actually have a tidy lentil curry for lunch.

Wasn't the BLM riot even more outdated than the MI5 report?

Thanks for confirming, because it was sounding like you were trying to say that aye. 

As we speak, police across the country will be just as busy with the other side of extremism as they are down in Bristol. Just because it isn't in the news or your Twitter feed at the moment doesn't mean it's not happening. I look forward to this report coming out anyway. Then you can get your Booms out and tell me how hate crimes and far-right extremism has all but died out in the shadow of the great crustie mobs. 

Until then can we agree to disagree? x

"The male porcupine rears up on his hind legs, walks toward the female with a fully erect penis, and proceeds to soak her in urine with a spray forceful enough to shoot 6 feet.

Even more amazing, Roze has witnessed in the tree canopy a male firing off salvos from one branch at a female on another. “It’s not like a boy peeing,” says Roze. “It’s more like an ejaculation, and it’s definitely the strangest part of porcupine courting.”

Sounds funnier than Limmy to be fair - post the video on here when you're done.

THE BLM riots etc come into the next figures, for when they report 2020.

The other report was in reference to 2019, is it becoming a bit clearer squire 😉 

Sorry for confirming that.

Definitely, as it was st George's day the other day.

Did the ginger midget keep her job then?

I cant believe all you fans of liberty and justice are simply going to stand by and let this outrage just happen.

DO something, for God's sake. Don't just bicker on here.
