It's because I think there are too many middle class at Glastonbury

Certainly could do with being more diverse.  Mind you I am never sure what class people are. Most people I know there are probably nearer working class.  

Always had plenty of middle class there, even in the 8o's. But then we were all in together more, which has changed with all the various camping options. 

Have to remember there may not be a festival if it wasn't for Upper class/ middle class people bank rolling the 79 festival.

Russia bombing dams in Ukraine. If only we had thought of that during the war. Oh hang on....

All this queen shit is absolutely enraging me. Can’t wait for it to be over. I’m finding it increasingly difficult not to say or do something that’s going to get me in trouble.

So, looks like Kwarteng is going to roll back some of the regulations imposed on the city banks after the crash, including the cap on banker bonuses, short term political pain for long term economic gain, or so they hope.

who'd have thought, what this country obviously needs for growth is for bankers to be paid more.

Just be positive guys, there are no problems if we just pretend there aren’t any.

In almost more positive news someone had a go at assassinating Putin. Unfortunately his limo is built like a tank and he survived unharmed. 
 

Good signs that the Russian people have had enough of him.

People are going to be taking about The Queue for generations. 

Long after we've forgotten what it was they were queueing for.

Given the age of some of them queueing I think many of them would have forgotten why they were there when they get to the front.

where did you see this? From what I've heard/read they've done a pretty good job at keeping the blame for recent Russian losses on anyone but Putin.

Not sure on the accuracy of the source but it’s appeared in a couple of different international media sources.

The BBC are providing information on how to find the back of The Queue. Surely all you need to do is walk along until it ends is all you need to know?
