Why we need PR. Correct representation of ALL views in the country.

I agree we need PR, although even with that, Reform would still get next to fuck all seats. I think you'll be surprised at how few people will actually vote for them when push come to shove. Honestly, other than you, I don't know a single person who think they are even remotely credible.

She is in the eye of allegations that she ripped off the Govt for £100m plus. She denied being involved, then admitted she fast tracked them. She has said she personally won't be making any financial gain , she then admitted her husband will.

She also says she is ashamed to be associated with the current Tory party. Another civil war starting when she blows the doors off PPE buying process in pandemic

Yeah but Corbyn would have bought PPE from the Soviet Union, so still vote Tory

It's not a vote for the Conservatives anymore - it's a vote for grifting dicks who idiots support because it makes thinking hard.

The working class of 60 years ago would be disgusted. Learning through collective education was supposed to protect the ordinary people against this, and yet we voted for it with our cap doffed.

Silly and sad

They’re our betters. They are the party of fiscal responsibility.

Shut your mouth,

It's good news for the region that the English National Opera is moving to "Greater Manchester"

But look at the replies!

Temper tantrums all over the shop

[Tonge moor green jacket]

Can't see them, but are you surprised?

As an aside, Bolton is apparently the happiest place in Greater Manchester. 

Well done Ian Evatt.

Laughable reactions from the south east

However, amongst all the comments, is there something in the suggestion that opera north and eno are fighting for the same audience?

Shut your mouth,

I went to my local comp.

I went to a Poly

I was bright enough to get into jobs where 'our betters' were.

And you know what? Funnily enough they weren't any better, and in many cases they were worse.

So you push on, and you get a seat at the table - and it's still annoying that a young Oxbridge twat has to tell you what you already know.

Sorry but the South East still rules this nation - my kids will sadly just by a dint of birth will do better than yours.

Not in terms of ability, but when it comes to choices at the table.

Greater Manchester? Is it not Manchester then?

It usually means the bit of Salford that touches Manchester.

Let’s hope any wrong doing is exposed and any corruption punished by prison sentences.

especially when you all dress pretty much identically 😘

 

........By the way, I like "Mod" fashion(s) and I've embraced many of them over the years. Stylish yes, very much so, unique, not in the slightest, in fact even the Greasers/Rockers were actually more "unique" in their attire

Sadly, we know this won't happen - it certainly should though
