      Shibboleth, I bet it costs a lot more to keep a horse than a car what with feed, paddock fees, insurance, vets etc. Horses ain’t cheap.

        I wonder if MN will actually respond to anything here that’s been written in direct replies to his own points?

        By ‘reply’, I mean to actually respond with his own thoughts, and something of substance. Not responding with new and vaguely connected Daily Mail/ Express talking points.

          There is this niggling think, called Democracy.
          Every few years you get to vote, however these bleeders do not tell you in advance they are going to double car tax for Internal combustion cars. They do not tell you that they are going to make, water, natural gas and electricity go sky high.
          They do not tell you that they will rob the pensioners of their heating allowances.
          They do not tell you, they will try and start world war three.
          They do not tell you that they will crash the economy, on purpose.
          These people, now think they are our masters.
          They will tell us what to think and how to act or they will fast track us to prison.
          This truly is Dystopia.
          Why not have a referendum and ask the voters if they want to be made poor and have all choice removed from them, so they become slaves of the Labour Masters?
          There is much talk, that the new Chancellor is about to resign because she has crashed the economy of the U.K.

            Another right wing sore loser post.

            I don’t believe people voted to give £200m worth of PPE contracts to the company owned by the husband of a Tory, (but who coincidentally supported Labour when they were in power), only to discover that many of the £200m worth of products were unusable because they were substandard; but that is what we got.

            Do you really believe the Labour administration are starting WW3, or have NATO been trying to do that for the last 20 years?

            I’m afraid that as a minor party (121 MPs) are in no position to try and pretend they are on equal terms with an elected government (411 MPs), however much their billionaire friends owning most of the UK the MSM will bleat to the world about everything being unfair.

            Remember the Tory mantra is – “Repeat a lie often enough and it becomes fact”

            And as for trashing the economy, just remember Liz Truss.

              Every few years you get to vote, however these bleeders do not tell you in advance they are going to double car tax for Internal combustion cars [continues…]”

              Was this straight out of a non-dom billionaire owned Express leader – set in an ‘everyman’ fashion to dupe the malinformed and thoroughly ignorant?

              If not, MN ought to apply for the position because he’s perfectly qualified for the job – as a True Believer.

                “I bet it costs a lot more to keep a horse than a car what with feed, paddock fees, insurance, vets etc. Horses ain’t cheap.”

                Very possibly these days, but Michael will likely go for a cheaper, more appropriate model. An ass or donkey would suit…

                  As I have said to Clark, I have a very small 21 year old Diesel Ford, it does me, I don’t go far from my home town.

                  Remove the pensioner heating allowance and watch the snow fall, put up cost of electricity, natural gas and water, watch the pensioners die like insects. All this while Sir Keir swans about in Azerbaijan or Brazil, sunning himself with his globalist chums.

                    glenn, the true Believers are those dupes who voted Labour, even though Labour were very short on priorities, before the election, I expect some may be wishing they had stayed indoors.
                    Looks like the steel industry is buggered in Britain, now the retailers are going to the wall.

                    There are going to be mass lay offs in Britain, from multiple sectors, people out of work, don’t pay much in income tax, they also do not buy any big ticket items, this is now a slippery slope.

                      MN: You must actually think that this country was in a good state, without any serious problems, right up until Labour took over. History started then, and all our current problems are due to policies since. Correct?

                        glenn, I don’t think that the country has been doing well for an awfully long time, I remember the “Three Day Week”
                        I remember the dustbin strikes and the copses uncollected, the year long miners strike. Pretty well my whole working life, things have not been good in the U.K.
                        People manage to get good pay rises, then the firm moves abroad or just closes.
                        I have not got a clue what any answers could be.
                        I don’t think the present, new, government has any clues.
                        Maybe, there just are not any clues and we are at getting towards the end of the road.

                          Nationalisation plans are currently underway following the proposed introduction of Great British Energy subsequent to the 2024 King’s Speech, which also oversaw increased dedication towards net-zero.

                          Nationalisation, first I have heard of that twaddle.

                          We really are going down the Stalin rabbit hole in Britain.

                            Ah, you think privatising utilities has been a great success then, Michael? And you fear undoing such wondrous progress is going to set us back. Fascinating.

                                So the big question is, what to do with end of life Lithium ion batteries.
                                Dump in holes in the ground, dump in disused warehouses next to housing estates?
