      I’m just waiting for some autocue-reader to realise that all the overseas aid we have to fork out to countries and their despots is more than enough money which is denied normal British citizens.

      But you’ll never read or hear that from the BBC of course…

    3) Drive Less. I start work at 6am – no buses, or could book a taxi 🙂 I’ll stay at home then?

    On the radio the other day there was a advert for using the train once a week. It takes me 15 mins in the car to get to work.

    Luckily the Far Left is perfect – maybe the bBC would like to report of the Far Left for once

    Storytellers do not give us the real world
    #1 It’s not the political agenda they want
    #2 They rush to easy tricks to make the story EXCITING

    Just now on JHB’s TalkTV show the guest said
    “the official price rises are underestimated it’s different to people’s lived experience like the price of PASTA shooting up”
    (Jasmine Birtles of Money Magpie

    I went to point out that Aldi/Tesco pasta is 23p per 500g
    but today’s check shows it’s now gone up to 28p

    Is it right to go around shouting that pasta has gone up 20% ?
    FFS it’s 5p per half kilo

    It’s not the 5p that worries people
    It’s the £50-100 extra per month through accommodation costs etc.

    I notice Tesco Bitter is still £1.13 for 4 cans
    There seems to be a dearth of chicken, bacon, potatoes, lettuce
    so I am able to find them at way below the normal price.
