They must be displayed at least once every 25 metres, we choose to put them every 25 meters, but can also display the distance in any measure we like, and we've chosen yards. It's a silly inconsistency of entirely our own making. Nothing at all to stop us displaying them every 25 yards (22ish metres) and displaying the distance in yards for more pleasing, round numbers. So not only is it a stupid benefit, as you say, it's not even true. 7 years, and this is what they've got. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can't justify it in any logical way, they just trot it out like it's the truth. I tend to stop talking about it at that point as I don't want to fall out with them. Exactly where my dad is. There is nothing he could see that would make him think labour. He’s a walking sound bit machine now. Farage was on celebrating the 6 years since Brexit. Rolled off a load of things we have done wrong and therefore are bad about current brexit. He still thinks it was a good idea based on what has happened not even on any future pros they may imagine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the most important things about the 2024 election is that it becomes the one where people are asking "were you still up for Rees-Mogg?" 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The vote for party leader is based on who you would prefer. All (or almost all) of the Tory MPs would have said that they had confidence in any of the candidates. But they could only vote for the one who they had the most confidence in. A vote of no confidence is entirely different. It's a stark choice. You have confidence or you don't.

Yes, I know (I was as was pointed out, revisiting a previous conversation partly in jest) but 59/41 is not a narrow victory, nor do I want it to be considered so because the more the Tory Party own Johnson, the better. Saying it's a narrow victory sort of says, well half the party are alright and they aren't, they are all words removed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't got time to be looking at your previous posts looking for indications that you are jesting. If I did that I wouldn't have time to stare out of the window and drink another cup of tea before finishing at 1.00. I'd have to stay until at least 1.15. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wants the government to do it. I can remember Edward Heath trying this but the unions wouldn't wear it. One of the recurring questions in modern UK political history, is whether, if the unions had accepted Barbara Castle's In Place of Strife proposals, would the Thatcher government have been avoided? He's right about the redundancy policy, it definitely does not rule out complulsory redundancies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
