The illusion that voting changes anything. It doesn't. The people sitting at the top table don't want real change because it would upset their gravy train. So they only promote people to positions of power who they can trust to maintain the status quo.

And that's why nothing changes.

"The illusion that voting changes anything. It doesn't. The people sitting at the top table don't want real change because it would upset their gravy train. So they only promote people to positions of power who they can trust to maintain the status quo.

So true & even more so after Brexit, we'll never be allowed another referendum in this country.

How dare the British public get what they wanted, well the majority did anyway before anyone starts.

And that's why nothing changes."

I get my prescription from the opticians and then trot off to another cheaper place to get them, like Home Bargains, for example. I might look like Benny Hill in them but when they cost £2.99 you can’t complain!

To be fair A3ov and Right sector are a small fraction of the official and unofficial millitary of Ukraine. But the peoples Republic of donbas and wagner group have openly nazi units too.

A3ov have tweeted insanely riggt wing oppinions and there leader is a white supremesist. They've released videos of themselves doing war crimes for years.

Some of wagners home movies are sickening too.

And neither side out there have any respect for the articles of war or geneva convention.

Get the test done. Get the prescription and use it to buy your glasses online. Its vastly cheaper and the prescription is exactly the same you'd get from all the overpriced spectacle retailers.

When your fuel bills go up 54% costing you on average an extra £1700-£1900 per year, then find out that MPs have received a pay rise of £2200 per year.

Congestion charges in London, plus ulez charges for driving in outer london costing £12.50 per day ulez or £30 per day Congestion charges as the government wants everyone to buy new or electric cars, or use public transport,but the priminister is coffer driven from 10 downing Street to house's of Parliament which is a 10 minute walk....literally.

People visiting your frontdoor. Apart from family/friends and post deliveries I'd be very wary of them. Not happened for a few years but one example is I had 2 characters wanting to come in and discuss "home security". They were very insistant but I sent them on their way. Somebody with a less forceful attitude might have let them in. In fact, I cannot recall it ever being to my advantage to speak to anyone I did not know on the doorstep.
