It's so wrong though

Why do we all just accept it?

Surely there's its going to reach the point where the whole thing collapses.

Where does it stop? £10 a pint averages?

Not just a pint either. It's everything.

The standard of living doesn't match it.

Yeah I agree, especially those places that a hubs of a community.

This is quite the interview with the owner of the Reform club in Blackpool.

I posted on the football bit about that new bar by the ground charging £6.80 a pint on a Saturday lunchtime. 
 

We do our shopping as click and collect and a  £100 shop gets you about 3 carrier bags worth from Morrisons ! I know it is pretty niche but over night cut offs of meat for the dog went from £1 to £1.80, sure everyone can work out that is an 80% increase.

Off to Lanzarote Friday be interesting to see if prices have gone up in last 6 months.

Off peak Buses are free, need to pay an annual surcharge of a tenner for off peak trams and trains. Before half nine pensioners (unless also holding a  disabled pass) need to pay full whack.

I have a disabled persons bus pass and apparently it is a national pass on buses and trains. I have used it 3 times in 5 years

So after a year he’s realised what most of us already knew. Smashing the gangs was never going to work and it was just a simple 3 word slogan to get a few simpletons excited

They’ve arrested a gang of smugglers today as well.

Multi-tasking isn’t for everyone.

Imagine backing 'Boris' for years, then having to watch a Labour PM sort out all the shit he left behind. It must proper stick in their throats. Proper humiliation.

Wasn’t  it cheese who posted about a gang arrest on here in the early Labour days boasting Kier was smashing the gangs (even though the arrest was part of a year long investigation), followed buy a link showing Labour had closed hotels down whilst not realising Labour had actually opened more 😂 the buffoon

To be fair, Starmer is only doing his job. It’s the least we should expect.

Yes we had plenty of arrests when the last lot were in power, it’s nothing new that’s why anyone with an ounce of common sense knew it wouldn’t work. Imagine if he did what he’s doing now from day 1 instead of pissing about with his 3 word slogan.

Nonsense. I'm sure there definitely haven't been lengthy negotiations with the French. Starmer could've just clicked his fingers on day 1 and made it happen, the lazy bastard.

You mean like when you thought folk getting arrested early doors was down to him? 😂

To be fair to RW, he's going down swinging.
