Well, regardless of the rights or wrongs of huge wealth, I’m glad Uncle Tony has a few bob!

Private Eye cocked up badly on the MMR/ Wakefield scandal though.

Haha, I never drink any type of milk on its own, but I do like skimmed or semi in my tea or coffee which have to be strong. My wife drinks black coffee. No faux leather sandals here. The real thing or barefoot unless I’m going out to buy my copy of the Morning Star.😁 Don’t worry about the kids...

I don’t know, but what I do know is that if I ever pop into yours for a cuppa I’d better bring my own milk. Full Fat makes me heave!😁

The Sunday Times and the Times have been pretty keen on investigative journalism for quite a number of years.

Well, the Reform Party isn’t benefitting the Conservative Government. Witness the recent by election results!

By dragging people to the right, do you mean bordering on the extreme right or just further away than perhaps you yourself are? Yes, you quote your dad’s mate, but are there really hordes of these types? Your dad and his mate may well be a similar age to myself,75, and as a natural centre right...

Leaving your comments re the NHS aside, because it is a vast topic on its own, I am not convinced that GB News, the Mail etc. have a huge influence on how people vote, but as Beorhthelm, I think it was said, they may reinforce the views those readers or listeners may already have. Rather like...

Well, they don’t seem to be doing a very effective job for the Conservatives at the moment do they! By the way, do you really think the NHS can continue as it is? Serious and honest politicians on both sides of the spectrum must see that it is in need of more than a ‘tweak here and there!’

Fair enough, but unless our electoral system undergoes radical reform, and given that you will never vote Conservative, and are fed up with a ‘stale’ Labour, but want at least an outside chance of being elected, your choices will be sorely limited.😰

It is amazing what ten years in Opposition can do to bring a party, who wants to regain power, back to its senses. I wonder what party you will vote for if you ever get get fed up with Labour.

That is your view, but not one that everyone will agree with. The ‘incompetent financial terrorism’ you mention has not always been a hallmark of Conservative Governments and I refer you to the reply from Seagulls Over London. If the Conservatives want to get back into power again, and succeed...

I think it unlikely that either of the main parties ‘lose their marbles’ for ever. Labour had to cleanse themselves of the Corbyn disaster and the Tories will do likewise during a much needed suitable period in Opposition. It is obviously no good for democracy to have only one party in power for...

Well, they’ll have to do a mighty good job if that is to happen.

That would be a real vote loser for any party suggesting such a move and, no doubt, exceedingly bureaucratic to administer.

Some people are easily angered and it is not a nice trait. Shallow or not, at 75 I am old enough, and I hope wise enough, to understand not to take things said on an anonymous football forum too seriously or at least not always at face value. Without giving it much thought, numerous examples...

The difference being is that you and I and most other posters can usually differentiate between serious remarks and others, that are less so, unless, of course, it doesn’t suit them to do so. As for Rishi, you may well be right!😀

Good heavens, you do come over as rather aggressive towards me and I don’t really know why. I am a tolerant soul who, I hope, hasn’t made too many enemies on NSC. I have no-one on ignore and I intend to keep it that way. Perhaps you should put me on ignore instead.

Thunderbolt, You seem to see things in black and white. Of course you can be who you are, but why do you take everything so literally and seriously? My harmless remark was just that. Is it only me who seems to get your goat? Whatever I post, however light-hearted, you appear to come back and...

Oh Thunderbolt, lighten up a bit🙄
