What is that "mate" of mine Sadiq Khan trying to achieve ?

 

You lost you demented little cretin, get over it and concentrate on your job you terrorist sympathiser.

And we did have a vote to join the Common Market.

Continued membership. I was there I voted. We joined without a vote under the Tories and Ted Heath. I voted to stay then as well.

You said you and 84 are undeniably poorer, can you elaborate as 84 says he’s not. 

No, I said we ALL are.

I'm not saying you're not but lets look at it this way - again slightly less micro...

I'm volunteering my time to help build a new play park for the children in my area.

Fab stuff - it'd also be good to have enough money inthe local budgets to employ people to build these local ammeities

Today I've gone on a food run for two elderly people I know ... taking them to the butchers and small stores

Again, can't falult you - good community stuff, but also should there not be provision so people are relying on the kindness of others for their basic needs?

Last week I did a local beach clean

Tip top - volunteering is something more people should do, but also shouldn't our beaches be free from this anyway without good folk having to give up their time?

The point you are missing is all your activities are political, just as much as mine. Yes, they don't have a party attached but each small act of kindness helps build up communities to have a collective voice to say we shouldn't have to do this by ourselves - we want more support, more money for our local facilities, cleaner public places - that's a fair and reasonable ask from the people we put into positions of public service, who are paid to do what others are clearing up behind them for free.

They should be accountable for your efforts, don't crack on in silence - that way you won't get the support you, your community and so many others like you might need.

Theres no need to.  How are you and 84 poorer? If you can’t answer just say.

I like disagreeing agreeably - each local community needs more people like you - I'd just like you to shout louder about the help that's required from this government, the next one, any which one of them. We build great things together, the state should be the safety net and the foundations upon which helps us build better together and therefore afford people in the weakest positions the most security, that way we'll all be better off.

im going to be patronising but its not really meant to be

 

i think wanderer84 sounds like the sort of bloke we could all do with being (i just couldnt be arsed, tbh)

just so long as he stays away from politics

Agree it is a bold statement 

But they certainly haven’t suffered a domino effect , like many predicted after Brexit. Seem pretty strong. I guess they saw the reality of leaving. 

People predicted all sorts of things during the debate. Economically, there is little difference between ourselves and the EU. Going forward, I’m personally more optimistic about our economy than the EU. That may change, we have an election looming. 
Here is a chart showing the confidence of the PMI. I used to be a PM, that’s why I look at stuff like this. 

 

I have changed my mind all is good.

Better than Wiki. Although wiki is usually right. Unlike you.

😊 These edits are doing my head in. While I was replying, and answering questions on the Chase, the post was changed! Glad to see the new ‘reason’ though. 👏 to the Mods.

Sorry for the short reply earlier ... been busy.

I appreciate what you say but the truth is people cant be arsed to put the effort in.

Do you expect your government to do everything for you? That's not how it works in a community. Maybe that community spirit is lost on you?

We help each other ... its not a chore. We feel proud of what we do.

I do it because I want too and can. If others weren't so selfish and fucking lazy we'd all be in a better place.

Good on you for your Labour work ... least you're doing something you belive in.
