I am baffled by the fact there seems to be no limit to the number of Turkish barbers a town seems to be able to take. With new ones opening all the time.

Even more strange: there's almost always someone in all of them.

Hmm.

They're cheap, only £10 in many places round here. So you can understand why people who aren't well-off use them instead of paying £30 at the alternatives.

If you give some one £200 of dirty money to launder and get their head shaved 8 times a week at £20 ,yove cleaned £160 of dirty money, created jobs and identities for people and what appear to be jobs and growth.

If you buy a shop with flats upstairs you can set up all kinds of other businesses and apparent jobs.

Turn hundreds to thousands to hundreds of thousands to millions, to tens of millions, to hundreds of millions and billions... The biggest pyramids on earth... Just the tip visible above ground

Broadcasters are preparing for Keir Starmer to resign tomorrow with a statement in Downing Street possibly as early as 0800 I’m told by editors involved. No10 has not issued a formal op note but clearly conversations are happening this evening

Doing it at 8am to avoid the worst of the heat.

The Downing Street flat will be a grim place to be next week.

Larry is now onto...what is it...his fifth, sixth, seventh PM? I lose track.

There's supposedly a dementia test where the patient is asked who is the current PM.

Hmm...

Not sure why jumping on @Brixian59 is allowed but jumping on others is not. Surely it can't be politics related

Don't be so precious.

Disagreeing with anyone has always been allowed, even if its many people disagreeing with the same person.

Anyone who holds extreme or unpopular views can have many people simultaneously disagreeing with them. I frequently have and have never complained about being jumped on, nor had people rushing to my defence on that ground - not that I would want it either. Many people here have, anyone with strong views that goes against the mainstream tends to.

Turning personal and abusive is another matter, but that hasn't happened.

@Brixian59 is one of the best posters on this board. People just don't like their posts because they are unapologetically "Labour".
