You are really finding this very stressful aren't you?
Stressful? How so? It's just that I don't like liars and bullshitters, and I notice that no one, so far, has challenged me on Rachel Reeves' plan to increase tax, I wonder why. :P

TBF I have had a rather stressful hour and a half, but the red card went someway to calm me down, and the Frogs won again, but it's OK, the beat the Oirish. after extra timeP :P

And they were play at Tottenham ground. :P

It’s good to see you’re putting so much energy into getting this woeful Government out. :D

Watching the Tory party trying to explain their version of national service. Military service is a year, which is a waste of time. They are also saying that they want 18 year olds volunteering into the police and fire service for 25 days, another silly idea.

Sounds like they just want a headline and this isn't a serious policy.

How did this country become so pathetic. The Tories in self destruct mode, seeming incapable of not fucking up anything they do, Labour running a campaign based on being less shit than the Tories.

It’s a sad state of affairs all round. We’ve become weak and pathetic.

Shameful.

It's come to a sorry pass when the OBR issues a warning to candidates to be very careful in what they are promising the electorate, I may have missed it, but I don't recall that happening before.

Cheer up henry. At least we've taken back control, whatever that means.

Oh dear. To completely muddle metaphors the rats are blaming the captain(s) before leaving a sinking ship in a sack.
