So effectively, like Michael Gove, you say in effect that it is pointless producing statistics and listening to experts, as that doesn't bear out what you have been told. There is an issue because the Tory Government tell you there is one even though this is not born out anywhere and the move is criticised by MPs including Conservative ones and by the Electoral Commission and purely by coincidence the steps they have been taken work in their favour. Oh and even a former Gov Minister says it is gerrymandering. That is actually stretching credibility to the limit, I'm afraid. I would suggest that rape convictions are not the best comparison. 67k rape complaints versus 595 electoral fraud complaints. Neither a very pleasant comparison nor a like for like comparison on numbers. Not at all Terry. I'm just pointing out that statistics don't tell the whole story do they!

So Having been caught with your pants down, you quote another "story" with no links or copy text so that we can have a look. Go on, just the once... With apologies to Nobby, as he got incensed last time but I can't find it elsewhere, a quick search shows it is in the Sun and a report of something a woman has posted on TikTok, so it must be true..... Why oh why do certain types keep doing this?

The Gateshead story just keeps getting better,its covered at greater depth in the Manchester Evening News,the father of another girl is angry ! he says "dont the school realise that theres a cost of living crisis and that parents have had to scrimp and save to pay for these shoes".....why didnt thhey save some cash and buy the proper ones ?
Far from being unemployed the woman in the Gateshead case has a responsible job (dont know how with her shi**y attitude) she thinks that her daughter was treated like a dog... because she had to sit on the floor in the gym !!!! says she is taking her out of that school as its too strict and sending her to another school I presume one with less rules.. I would have thought that a responsible parent would want their daughter in a school with rules,but i suppose a responsible parent would make sure the children wore proper shoes.

Link? = None Having made a pigs ear of your original story you might think you would have learned...sadly it appears not. Is there rule on this forum for spreading falsehoods? Some, pitifully few, might be interested

Usually they tell us a lot Nobby but I suppose, like our current Government believe , statistics and experts are no longer of interest. Take care, buddy!

Putting fuel in at the pumps , paying for food , brought a new car 2 months ago , Though I do understand your denial stance , not good for Labour with a election due , economy on the up & Labour now admitting it will take them 2 terms in power too change anything , though looking at there benches 2 terms looks bloody optimistic too me ,

According to reports via the Daily express, ,( on line) vehicle Excise duty is set to rise by £140:00 for some diesel and petrol vehicles.....just another governmental drive to push people to "go electric" ...that will certainly help people who are still struggling with the cost of living.....not.

Fuel prices are racketeering, anywhere from £1.31 pl - £157 pl local ( motorway services are a joke , think I saw £1.79 pl ) , I was putting in £59/60 pw in fuel in my car , courtesy car is using nigh on half that , I could complain about the cost of living , but that’s more my choice of car ( and it’s far from a big gas guzzler )

It's wet and muddy so you take on a 10 mile walk counting home improvements? God it must be fun in your household. 😂😂😂ðŸ¤

They are brilliant. I currently have a Ninja two drawer unit.
