And to think I recall when people like Andrew Neil and unfortunately someone I worked with genuinely deluded themselves into thinking GB News wouldn't be anything more than a Fox news wannabe cesspit of far right vitriol, conspiracy, delusion and self-pity.

Don't know if we should laugh or cry at how dumb this island has become.

BBC News - Water companies want £156 bill rise to fund upgrades

Water companies want £156 bill rise to fund upgrades

The industry says it needs the cash to fund £96bn of investment to cut sewage spills and build reservoirs.

The ******* nerve...

 

[Which Tyler]

But... we've already paid them to do the repairs and maintenance.

What I'm seeing, is a pretty good example of extortion.
Are we absolutely sure that Tony Soprano isn't a water company CEO?

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Shame there was none left over to fund maintenance, repairs and renewal, ay

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

Seriously considering leaving this damn country, the government are not only letting us be fleeced, they are complicit in it. Something is going to break if the people of this country continue paying more and more for less and less. We a circling the ******* drain. Where are all those involved in the water cartels being held to account for the mess they've made? Nah just palm all the costs off to the consumer as usual and let everyone actually responsible walk away with a nice big pay packet.

******* corrupt as hell this country.

 

[Bada-Bing!]

Isn't it just further proof privatisation of utilities has failed?

Major development in Sycamore Gap felling mystery as giant chainsaw found

A chainsaw has been found in a major development to the investigation into the Sycamore Gap tree felling in Northumbria, which has gripped an outraged nation keen to see justice

The quote from the suspect sounds like when OJ Simpson released that book that was essentially "I didn't do it...but here's how I would've done it"

"I am a former lumberjack and I have just been kicked off my property, so I can see why people have pointed the finger."
He added: "But it was the perfect night to do it. There was a full moon so it would have been well lit and the wind would have meant there was barely any sound.

Liz Truss claims tax cuts could be used to incentivise building of up to 500,000 homes a year – UK politics live

Former prime minister says she is making the case for axing tax, cutting bills and building homes as leadership contest rumours grow

[ncurd]

Leadership contest? Trussomnoics?

Are they just ******* batshit crazy now?

I wish Sunak would just pull the plug on the conservative party and call a general election.

 

[Bada-Bing!]

Lol.

Considering the drama to get elected in the first place this could actually happen.

 

[SG59_]

That's some real clinging to the doorframe to stay in power.

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

Ah the good old "Look over there! Foreign types! They are the problem not us! Vermin!" Oldest trick in the book that, annoyingly, still works as well as ever. She's also been sure to get a bit of the dehumanising language in there too.

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

House GOP has gone insane. or even more insane.

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

So they house passed a bill extending the budget by 45 days and have now ousted the speaker, meaning nothing will get done on that until a new one is selected, which may never happen given the absolute mess the Republicans are in. US pin balling from one political crisis to the next, all created by the MAGA morons.

HS2 up to Manchester also being binned from Mr "I'm not going to commit to a future decision" Sunak, although he has no problem doing so once he is no longer surrounded by the smelly northern plebs.

HS2 up to Manchester also being binned from Mr "I'm not going to commit to a future decision" Sunak, although he has no problem doing so once he is no longer surrounded by the smelly northern plebs.

And binned whilst in Manchester - and when the train journey to Manchester was too arduous for most of the cabinet, so they "had" to fly...
