Just heard the first rumble

Awesome thunderstorm coming your way, Trig

This would of been better than that lib dem twat Steve Bray blaring starmers speech:-) [Link]

Didn’t the server suffer last time the weather got hot?

I think all the political posts has jammed the website

If you want to help business you need a well trained, well educated, healthy workforce and good infrastructure. All things that have been cut back on over this decade and the last. You also need stable economic conditions, not the chaos of Brexit.

Yes pete - it did hang on me a couple of times earlier. I think WJ has tried 'turning it off and on again' several times but any improvement seems to be temporary.

By the way, Mr Gimp, in case nobody's mentioned it, this site appears to be running slow again.

I take it you all realise that Starmer buggering off will make no difference. The damage has already been done. Changing the monkey doesn't make the barrel organ play a different tune. Good riddance to him anyway. Should be strung up for treason in my opinion, his mate Blair too.

[Link] Neat little section on BBC site shows next round of the World Cup in “as it stands” mode.

If Labour want sustain the ever increasing social benefits system then tax increases is the only way. Unfortunately Labour has, since being elected have penalised business. The very people that create wealth. Rather bizarre. My bet is that they will borrow. Interest rates will go up. Hopefully the IMF will intervene and reign back the looney left. No football to talk about so counter proposals welcome.

DO is Boris Johnson in disguise

Having lived in 'working class' communities since leaving London forty years ago we have come across loads of people scamming the benefits system and an equally large number resentful of it. My oldest and dearest friends, my north London grammar school buddies, don't believe me though.

OI - why? Do they enrich the super rich?

It may be that the Super Rich have become so because they are intelligent and work hard. Steve Jobs dropped out of college in his first year and went travelling to India. When he got back he co-founded Apple. Intelligence and Hard Work!

Better do away with DLAG then DO.

LD - are you really saying that the current Labour Government has, through its policies, enriched the super rich more than it has the poor? If so, shame on Starmer and his cronies - we're well rid of them!

Hard working people's money is far more likely to end up in the hands of the super rich than the poor and feckless as can be shown by their massive increase in wealth over the last 4 or so decades.

Have to take your word for it, Afer.

Draw for League cup 1st round also 12pm (apols Tom Swig) thursday (as are Lge One fixtures). Games played WC 7th August...

Excellent flag work by these guys!! [Link]

There is no Poverty in the UK. If you want to see poverty, visit India, Africa or South America. There is relative poverty in the UK - as there is in every country in the world. This is a statistic used by socialists to justify taking money away from those who work hard for it to give to those that sit on their backsides all day.

I wonder if the world cup has a 'knock on' effect on signings or the general lack of them.

League One not a hive of activity yet in terms of transfers - a few inter-divisional moves - but yes some news would be exciting. Understandable that players we’re interested in may well have more attractive offers wage-wise to consider. If it helps settle the gut we made our first signing on June 23rd last season (Alistair Smith) and then had a roll on 1st July with Seddon, Bishop and McCoy Splatt. Then there was a big gap til 30th July for Hackford and Asiimwe.

How about a signing, glad we get our buisness done early:-)
