Nobody Interesting

Well I have looked at it and failed to see a single amount of public money spending being talked about - so if it is there can you please point us readers in the right direction. As it stands I will stand by my previous comment of zero borrowing as there is zero public spending mentioned......... but my eyesight is old so maybe I missed it and you will show me where.

How much then - what is their policy?

As a citizen of Wales I see nothing wrong with the 20mph scheme - what I do see is, like Uxbridge, a minority of noisy moaners gettign policy changed. Sends a really bad message that if you moan loud enough you will get change in election years. Re Scotland, I did say when the news broke that the Greens were very unhappy about it and had tried to stop the change but they are a small minority so were voted down in the coalition. Now we will see how unhappy.

Last II read was that the Green P:olicies now had a funding amount of zero so nothing to borrow - or have they back tracked on the back track to spend £28 billion a year?

So far they have said Convoy, Woodland and tea Tent are open Weds but only Woodland on Thursday til eveing but Gail says Tea Tent is open from 1pm. Not seen mention of CC for Thursday but hopefully it will be open in some way.

This year Thursday will be a full day yes, but only Woodland and Tea Tent until the normal 5/6pm ish start time for Pallet.

I first went in 2015 and arrived on Thursday and danced to music later that night.

Pretty much all their cards are to get growth as without that their pledges to not cut spending or raise taxes mean they have no money and the country will stagnate for 5 years while they blame the Tories at every oppotunity and tell the electorate they need a 2nd term. The state of things now means the UK needs a new path - not just the old one painted in a different colour.

Labour are petrified of anything connected to the EU and would rather harm the future of young people than even talk about a scheme like this that will do them all good. If they, and the Tories, actually did concentrate on the priorities of the British people then closer ties in all respects with the EU would be top of the list.

Sounds odd considering Bob Vylan is there - their very vocal views will be spelled out on stage as always............. or are they going to be cancelled?

Why is he not saying anything about the hundreds of thousands of empty derelict properties? If any politician really wanted to sort housing htye would get those renovated first and then look at what is still needed. Locally there are more of them needing renovation thatn the plans for 'urgent' housebuilding to meet peoples needs. A few years ago a government survey showed (it is on ONS website somewhere) that there are enough empty buildings to more than meet the UK's housing needs - so why are they still mostly empty and why do politicians not talk about them? PS the answer is that house building grows GDP better than renovation so the later is deemed unimportant. That way we end up with loads of new housing, mostly lacking facilities like scools and GP's and hundreds of thousnads of of empty buildings rotting slowly. A good PM would sort that out. Will Starmer?

If a user ends a listing early it still shows up. The only time, as far as I know, a listing simply does not show up at all is if Ebay removed it.

It always has been 4 days hasn't it? This year we have 5 cos of all the roadworks.

The listing has been removed from Ebay by the look of it.

As the police do, once they get reports they look at the evidence..... https://news.sky.com/story/police-reviewing-information-about-tory-mp-mark-menzies-after-alleged-misuse-of-funds-13118723 If there is wrong doing then further investigations and charges will follow - like they do for all regardless of age, sex, colour etc 😉

You obviously have abetter ear trumpet than I do.

Can't say I have ever noticed any bleed from either more than 30 feet from the entrances so should be fine.

New location for the SE Tea Tent - between the Convoy Cabaret and the Woodland entrance and they will be opening on Weds afternoon with live music in the eve, and then a full programme from the Thursday through to the Sunday.

and we are not the only wealthy country to have more economically inactive people either - it is just we and the USA seem intent on solving all problems without immigration whereas other countries realise the need for it.

Sometimes I do wonder if his script writers are trying to see if he actually understands what it is he is saying.

He's a dead man walking who knows after the local elections next month him may well be looking for a new job himself so is trying the division card to get people on side and voting Tory to save his own skin.

Looks like an update but yes similar to this. The people who DO NOT want a job s in the pic here says it all really. Headline number to make it look bad vs reality.

and Emily has just read this thread and so has postponed the next announcement til Thursday afternoon next week.

Students are in this large number - they will not go back to work. Retired people under state pension age who can afford to retire are in this group - they gave up work cos they could. Why would they want to go back to work? Carers are in this group, they cannot go back to work cos they are caring. There are actually not that many who can and want to return to work out the total. Perhaps 900k I think from a BBC story a while ago.

I love how they all throw around the figure of people who are economically inactive when it includes people who are students, carers, people who have retired early and people who cannot work due to disability and sickness. if you take those out the number of economically inactive is actually quite small. Also, are retired people who can afford to retire early and are out spending heaps of money economically inactive?
