this country FFS,  just had a bag stolen off the back of my mobility scooter when it was parked outside sainsbury's -  what sort of scumbag  steals from the disabled, and possibly causes them all sorts of problems, luckily wasn't a big issue for me, just a shame to lose the coat that was in the bag. 😞 

 

Sorry that you lost it that is rubbish.

it's not about what's in it, I think if there's a bag on a bike or in a car and it's in the city then someone will nick it - for all they know it may have something in it.  If I park even for 5 minutes I'll ensure nobody leaves a bag in the car, as about 30 years ago I had it happen several times, including once in London when I'd only just pulled in for one minute to pop into a flat and they put the window through then nicked a handbag 🙄

I know what you mean about leaving stuff in cars. i was hoping no one would be lowlife enough to steal from the disabled .

Can see the Kippers and their lot using Huw Edwards’ lenient sentence as something to bash Starmer with: “You let child abusers run free when people ‘asking valid questions’ (ie being racist) have been locked up for years” etc.

There was a really dreadful story of something that was in court recently for an issue in Stroud, but I won't go into the details here.  Suffice to say, there are some pretty damaged people about...but tbh we know that sadly.

Scotland loves to claim its more left wing than England, but that says not!!!!

Well it looks like it's as left wing as Wales and it is more left wing than England - that's what I got by just taking the red and then subtracting the black number to give me a net red number 😉

Surely there's a considerable and obvious disparity between some parts of the scottish population compared to others?

My favourite aspects is the reform voters.  "Ok I may spend half my time online saying that I'm not a fascist, but push comes to shove OK I'll choose fascist".  Scumbags.

No one would know but it's been lib dem convention last few days and apparently it's been all positive vibes because they did very well in the election and don't have to worry about actually governing.

Apparently treasury wants spending cuts rather than tax rises...think there's going to be a lot of anger after next month's budget.

[steviewevie]

Apparently this is upsetting everyone.

In the grand scheme of things...doesn't look great...
