    Ok I will go first. The BBC are beyond the pale and beyond the pail! The BBC deserve the worst of a bucket of xxxx tipped over them. The BBC have had weeks to announce a new D-G but one is not in sight yet. The BBC pursue citizens who wish not to watch Strictly or Traitors to buy a TV Licence. TV Licencing is the most inefficient way to pursue people to buy a TV Licence. I do not want one. I do not want to watch TV! My TV is an old cathode ray tube set, in the loft, and I would have to spend £s on a digi box or something to watch TV and I’m an OAP who is too busy and too poor to pay all that cash for something that will sit in the corner of the lounge. Defund the BBC!

    I have waited weeks for a visit from TVLicencing.

    Smarmer U turn on ID cards, they will now be ‘voluntary’.

    However, don’t be fooled, the Government will ensure it will be impossible to live a normal life without the ‘voluntary’ ID card. Banks, credit reference agencies and many other essential pillars of modern life will not process you without ID.

    Smarmer U turn No 2, HS2 Northern is to be reinstated.
    I’m really glad the Government has found the cash to splash on this useless unwanted and eye-wateringly expensive waste of time.

    I noticed he debate on how left wing influence in education has become on GBNews.
    My son is a senior teacher and make no mistake the situation with Marxist activism by Unions and teachers is far worse than anyone outside of the profession realises. The NEU and Unison are stridently Communist/Anarchist and have taken over schools with weak and/or compliant Headteachers. There is no regard for the tax monies thrown at education, as far as most teachers are concerned, their agenda and beliefs are more important than the teaching that they are paid to do.
