As for the Boris bashers, bear in mind it could have been Jeremy Corbyn with Diane Abbott and the rest of his Metropolitan sidekicks.
What the Boris bootlickers have to remember is that there is zero evidence to suggest that a combination of Corbyn/Abbott would have been any worse or any better than Johnson/Patel ... what a depressing thought!

The evidence is they were roundly rejected by the nation and ultimately put out to pasture by their own party.

But she wasn't a liar, my friend said. She just didn't know anything.

Which does not provide any evidence as to who could have run the country better.
I am still trying to work out who was less numerate between Patel and Abbott - both have had some hilarious foobars

In a way I will the Bojo the clown - he really has made politics hilarious.

That's your opinion. Millions would disagree but if it makes you happy saying the same over and over again. :sarcasm:

They're the opposition. It's in their job description. :lol: :lol: :lol:

They're not paid to be constructive.

I would sign it. I do think it's the, maybe ,older generation that appreciate the BBC for their output more than the youngsters who watch the likes of Netflix etc. A case of not appreciating what you have until it's gone.
Don't worry, be happy

Is that the same BBC with institutionalised support and shielding for child molesters? A lot more heads should have rolled over that, especially all those that knew and chose to cover it up. When Johnny Rotten dared to step out of line in 1978 the pervs in the beeb chose to ban him to protect the molesters.

And here is the irony, Millions would disagree with you but if it makes you happy to make something up and repeat it over and over again without a shred of evidence ... :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm:

I guess I would too, I think a subscription service would likely cost more, and I also quite like the idea that the govt has control of the license fee even if sometimes it's likely to to be a labour govt being overly generous..

Ken, it should have read "young man full of his own importance/ up his own backside".
Happy with the grumpy old man. Thanks :thumbup:

All good news to me.
And you will be glad to know that I will not be lowering myself to be like you, what a hideous thought - so you don't need to fret either. :)

See an amicable agreement is reached in the end. :clap: :clap: :clap:
