Had me in Off camera he had a set to with someone as well while Bridgen was giving it both barrels. TK Maxx in the background presumably he was in the city centre? Sign read "what a crock of ****". 1

I can forgive £4 billion of lost financial aid that was lost under good pretences much more than £billions given to mates for dodgy contracts and a doomed-from-the-start Track & Trace project. They’re a bunch of corrupt fvckers but you have to be fair in your criticism and this isn’t one of those circumstances in my opinion. 9

There will always be a cost in fraud and administrative errors with a scheme like this and so there will come a point where you are estimating the level of fraud and what you reasonably expect to recover.
fox_up_north Posted 18 January 2022 Posted 18 January 2022 No idea how to do or share tweets but Raab was on Sky this morning and called the 20th May a "party", then when he was asked about why he called it a party he said he was invited but didn't go. Oh, and the Lords did their job. Hurrah.
Popular Post Koke Posted 18 January 2022 Popular Post Posted 18 January 2022 This country has shifted very right in my lifetime. Hard to believe that university tution was funded by tax payers once upon a time. Anybody born before 1990 has £0 in student loan debt. Culturally we're better off now than pre-1990 (less racism, less homophobia etc) but economically we should be far more prosperous than we currently are. 5

Just to mention a lot fewer went to uni or higher education back in the day.

True, my sister went, debt free, I went, debt. It is what it is. Increase in numbers surely plays a part, and it will be interesting what happens in Scotland with tuition fees when they break free. 1
Foxdiamond Posted 18 January 2022 Posted 18 January 2022 Bus passes. If you are 60 you get free pass if you live in Scotland, Wales and and London. If you live in rest of England you have to wait until retirement age which is currently 66. Not sure if N Ireland rules same
