Eff me, they are out in force today aren't they. Possibly wound up because their hero is banged up in jail whistling Dixie to anyone who will listen.

Starmer already announced in advance that in the Budget the Bus fare cap for pensioners will rise from £2 to £3 a whopping 50% increase. He really doesn't pensioners does he.

I thought pensioners were entitled to free bus travel. My mistake they are. Do working people take the bus to work? Better ask Starmer.

This might be amusing,over to Oldie....😏 So you have both asked now, give me an hour or so as I have to get to work. Here, sips coffee. Checks overnight online sales, compares yesterday's physical sales by line item with the same period. So, to Ice's question. "Who is this indigenous population you speak of" To clarify and provide context, the Oxford English Dictionary definition "originating or occurring naturally in a particular place; native." Precisely. So how would we define the minority of the Indigenous population of the UK. Like this: "This group is defined in a number of ways but the following are key characteristics; 1. An irrational fear and dislike of anyone not originating from their own area. This manifests itself in prejudicial attitudes to skin colour choice of faith and cultural expressions. 2. A lack of self confidence. The fear that when faced with competition, whether that be economic or cultural, they always fear losing. 3. A lack of mental acuity. Manifested in an inability to understand what is happening in broader society(ies) both in economic, political and cultural terms. 4. An inability to express themselves, verbally, in their mother tongue. This manifests as confused sentences and paragraphs, a very limited vocabulary and anger when challenged. 5. Interbreeding. Manifested as limited interaction with others from outside their group leading to genetic malformation. Richard Dawkins theory of the selfish gene has completely bypassed this group. 6. A tendency to follow false prophets and to repeat the words of those false prophets in parrot fashion without any idea of what the words mean. 7. A lack of physical height. The males tend to achieve heights of below 5'10", are bold and adorn themselves with tattoos as a form of compensation. So that is the depiction of a minority of the British indigenous population, as you asked. Hopefully, with education, their children will in fact interact with others and Professor Dawkins theory of the selfish gene will triumph, at which point that will be the end of them. Meanwhile, the rest of us man the barricades.

The Bond market is getting very twitchy ahead of the budget tomorrow. Ten Year gilts went up to 4.29% yesterday, the same level as after the Truss mini-budget. If, as expected, Reeves changes the Fiscal Rules that would then allow her to borrow more then it could become very tasty.
