You have asked the right question, and the answer is almost certainly absolutely nothing.

I don't know if it has been said, but I suspected that this was all empty promises made by the previous administration - something they specialised in (Northern Power House, HS2, Levelling Up) and that all that has happened is that somebody is now exposing that practice to light. Amazing how they have managed to hide in plain sight all this time with the help of their client journalists and mendacious media editors. Mendacious bastards, the lot of them.

I realise that this is tongue firmly in cheek, but the man is fairly obviously very fvcking far from stupid.

Ah, I have watched quite a lot of the latter, yes. I had to stop because the absolute truth of it made me feel queasy, to say the least.

Hannah Arendt argues that the distinction between truth and lie can be eroded, over time, by "continual lying." When political leaders, institutions, the press, and respected figures habitually and continually state alternative facts, their lies—even if they are neither intended to be believed nor are believed—attack the very foundations of what Arendt calls the common world. "The result of a consistent and total substitution of lies for factual truth is not that the lies will now be accepted as truth, and the truth be defamed as lies, but that the sense by which we take our bearings in the real world—and the category of truth vs. falsehood is among the mental means to this end—is being destroyed."

Props to the lone singer in the South Stand, and for giving me the chance to get a laugh at his expense because he thought we were in Yorkshire...

How dare that man purport to speak on behalf the 'vast majority of decent Brits'. And who is this 'we' he is brazen enough to claim to represent?

I have a lot of sympathy for this point of view - unfortunately, we live in a society where amplifying 'noteworthy' content trumps all morality. -
Thoughts with you - be strong and recover well.

There is no longer a Lincoln Christmas Market, sadly.

@sacreblueits442, @deanolegend1989 - not always my cup of tea, but wish both well.

I've always been Android so I am thoroughly used to it, I can imagine the unconverted being flumoxxed.

I'd like to point out that the 'Hillary was unpopular' line is nonsense - she won her election by 3,000,000 votes.

They had an emergency plan in place, and chose to ignore it.
