Re: Who will be Tory leader at the next general election? – politicalbetting.com
helloGood morning. The weather looks a bit changeable today but the garden is enjoying the mix of sun and rain.
I'm about to the do the annual charade of negotiating my car insurance down to a reasonable price. Last year I knocked £300 off by fabricating a quote from another provider - my 6 years of loyalty means nothing, apparently.
It's a tax on those without the time or wherewithal to challenge their renewal prices.

Morning PB.
450 killed by Israeli forces in food queues in the last 12 days. Whether he manages the sole bonus of getting rid of the Mullahs, there's absolutely no question that Netanyahu, and several of his ministers, should face justice at some point for Gaza.

Hmmm.This is utter bollocksGood time to come back. For all that I detest the current Government and its predecessors, the country is nowhere near as screwed as poor old Leon likes to make out and I am actually reasonably optimistic. Indeed by my reckoning he has been predicting the final collapse of the UK for as long as he and I have been posting on here - which is a scarily long time.Not immediately. But in the next couple of years, yes.You heading back to the UK Robert?“Just came back from a large birthday party full of very wealthy people.Perfect timing.
Nearly all of them are leaving the U.K.
All for the exact same two reasons.
Too much tax and too many migrants.”

London property is about to crater
I'm excited.
I love LA. But I love London more.
Typical Leon post:
"Britain is a dystopian hell-hole only days away from the zombie apocalypse-
Me and the Daily Mail are right about everything, you moron.
Even though I hold the most reactionary views, I am down with the kids who agree with me about everything, especially senility power, and I am also in touch with the illuminati, who are totally real, by the way, so if you don´t know that you have the IQ of a Badenoch. AI, the 10 million refugees who arrived last week, and fake lab leaks (and also poor grammar) will destroy old Blighty unless Farage becomes dictator-for-life next week. You are all fools for not believing in the electric spaghetti monster.
I am not a far right wing loon, in a moment of terrible weakness, I voted for those evil Socialist bastards.

Trump needs be wary of NetanyahuTrump is a wanker. Saying one thing then saying the complete opposite thing just to appear to be edgy and newsworthy. He is perfectly capable of dragging the US into a hot war here.

No: 85%
Yes: 5%

And add Starmer should also be wary of Trump. I don't expect an Iran war to be any more popular in the UK.
Starmer has tried to be the friend of the wanker, easing him away from the truly stupid - he needs to be very mindful of not following Trump into insanity.
Iran is going to close the Straights of Hormuz. That by definition will lead to open warfare between Iran and the US. We should not get involved - other than working with the likes of Qatar to broker the inevitable climb down and peace deal.

You have been proclaiming the end of the UK and all manner of disasters for the last 20 years or more. None of which have come to pass.

I wish Sky News would sack Beth Rigby, she asks the most stupid gotcha questions even when there are incredibly serious situations.Its all she's ever done. Her actions during Covid were asinine.

O/T but here is a photo of the sun setting last night on the summer equinox. Sadly didn’t get the bit where it hit the horizon as was at a party and got distracted.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy it.
