#458......Pablo, nice to know you still log onto our repeated inane ramblings

Of course, Jan. It's impossible to hold a different view from you and be 'open-minded' at the same time, isn't it?

Maybe I should also have said those who need to grow up and appear to hold a grudge because of past forum subject disagreements.

I grew up a long time and don't hold grudges. I just enjoy pricking the self-righteous pomposity when it manifests itself on here. You've got to laugh after all, eh?

Unfortunately there is no similar forum in Powys where people can indulge in a similar level of intellectual onanism. The pubs are quite friendly though.

Well, the BBC reports that "The unofficial title of the UK town with the most pubs per person has been awarded to Rhayader in mid Wales. Dozens of places up and down the country may claim the accolade, but BBC Radio 4's More or Less has given it to the quaint Powys market town. Rhayader has 12 pubs for its 2,075 residents, or just about 173 people per watering hole", so I can see the temptation to stay put around there.

Well worth reading the full story from Dan Neidle if you're motivated to see beyond the spin.

Not that anyone is very interested on here - well - it is another Tory scandal after all, but a few of the papers say this morning that his tax avoidance efforts have cost Zahawi his knighthood. And he got a rollocking for heating his stables at public expense sometime ago too. How we should feel sorry for the poor little lamb, eh? Wasn't Boris Becker banged up for something rather similar?
So we have the run of the mill nut jobs like Bridgen and 30p Lee. We have Johnson involved in yet more implied favouritism to secure a loan in addition to the (yet to be fully revealed) Partygate lies and hypocrisy, we've had Patterson, the bully Raab, sundry sexual predators like Pincher and now Sunak himself finds it infradig to have to put on a seatbelt when he's off on his latest PR film shoot rather than doing his bleeding job.
I often get called a raving Corbynista on here. I'm not. In fact I've voted for all of the main parties in nearly 50 years of following politics. But can you imagine the howls of infamy, corruption and treason that would have arisen had even half the above taken place during a Corbyn administration? We are living under the most corrupt, incompetent administration I have ever witnessed.
I feel better now!

After the admittance of tax avoidance and paying the £3m back shouldnt he face more judgement .
All this turns even more people off politics

It happens to us all I guess - who can honestly say that they didn't accidentally forget to pay their bus fare as a child? This is where one of those eavesdropping Chinese appliances would come in handy, issuing a gentle reminder at the appropriate time.

Run that past me again?
What
is clear is that the sooner the Tories chuck in the towel on this administration, the sooner they'll be re-elected.

Sadly you are likely to be correct.
I feel they have given up on next general election

Surely it's Energy Security OR Net Zero?

A very smart move - by literally naming the government department "net zero", it can't be pushed aside. It'll no doubt frustrate the usual suspects, but that'll be baked in.
