What with 9 years austerity doubling the national debt it was meant to tackle, too little too late repeatedly on Covid, and Brexit consequences, the Tory Party are getting the country into a Right mess.

Never mind, we're all in it together (except the richest folk whose fortunes tripled during Austerity, but that's Tory Privilege of course).

((// The closure of Calais before Christmas was nothing to do with Brexit. Calais is always being closed for various reasons, usually to do with Brexit. It always will be closed.//))

I though that there was a new and exciting promise to have all blatant lies, particularly ones that affect another site user directly. That is not what is written ... It was this.

//The closure of Calais before Christmas was nothing to do with Brexit. Calais is always being closed for various reasons, usually to do with their fishermen. It always will. //

Strangely enough I once found a fiver on the Mancunian Way.
Cheers Peter..

//…how can anyone write this without a tongue in the cheek
to show the doctrinaire idle repetition of stale ideas who have had their day?//

Leaving aside the misquote (which may explain your misunderstanding), it is not the “doctrinaire idle repetition of stale ideas,” Peter. I wish it was. It’s simply a statement of facts. I can recount probably eight or ten occasions when my travel plans were interrupted by action closing the French Channel ports. It’s usually the fishermen, but sometimes it is something else. Last week it was allegedly to prevent the spread of disease (though those who were prevented from travelling rarely left the cabs of their lorries). It will always go on so long as France is on the other side of that stretch of water.

//I distinctly remember that in 1957 they cost 1s (5p); 3d for the chips and 9d for the fish.//

You wuz robbed. Do you know, when I were a lad you could get a tram down into t'town, buy three new suits an' an ovvercoat, four pair o' good boots, go an' see Frank Randall at t'Palace Theatre, get blind drunk, 'ave some steak an' chips, bunch o' bananas an' three stone o' monkey nuts an' still 'ave change out of a farthing (with thanks to Tony Capstick).

Another spectacular fail by Canary, to add to his long list of fails and failures to return to his own threads when he's been found out.

I find it worrying that he's allowed to vote.
