hypochondriac

Oddball.

If I'm upsetting the likes of yourself, jonnyboy and always_sfc then I'm definitely doing something right. Thanks for the encouragement and I couldn't give less of a toss what some virtue signalling weirdo with an ego the size of a reasonably priced car thinks of my postings on an Internet messageboard.

And jonnyboy joins in. Some weird little love triangle.

I bet big business really despise Maduro but it doesn't mean I want him running the country.

And as if by magic: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-45642660 An absolutely insane idea which will exacerbate the problem and lead to further closure. He's a buffoon.

I wasn't talking to you but your reply is just confirming the theory.

Are you soggys f*ck buddy? It's an easy conclusion to come to considering how often you figuratively suck him off.

I disagree. The last tory election campaign was the worst in my living memory and she still managed to beat corbyn.

Has always_sfc won the thread yet? He must have at least double the number of contributions than anyway else.

Sadly not. Labour will be increasing the amount of "free" childcare they offer should they get into power which will exacerbate the problem, not a chance will they allow nurseries to charge any sort of top up considering that they view business owners as evil heartless monsters and employees as saintly and virtuous.

Because whilst running costs and wages continue to climb, what the government gives to nurseries for each child has gone down and it won't be changing for another couple of years at least. The arbitrary offering of 30 hours "free" childcare was a campaign promise by the tories purely to counter a promise from labour who offered 20 but it wasn't properly thought through or costed and nurseries now receive less per child whilst paying business rates, wages, resources, bills etc etc. Add to that the pressures from Ofsted, the stresses of dealing with certain parents, child safeguarding issues (in many cases nursery workers are acting as social workers due to the real social workers having too many cases to deal with) and it's no surprise that groups are closing. What the government should have done if they wanted to help parents is either properly funded things or heavily subsidised childcare whilst allowing nurseries to charge a small top up to make up the funding shortfall. This would have dramatically reduced childcare costs whilst allowing nurseries to make up the big gap in their funding that suddenly developed but inexplicably they failed to do so. This explains it quite well:

You obviously know very little about nurseries, probably best to stick to discussing subjects you know something about. Nurseries around the country are closing at an unprecedented rate, it will become a crisis in the next couple of years unless something changes. Maybe your views are just too London centric - although if you asked the London early years foundation you'd get a similar response. Really odd that you claim not to care about anything to do with me yet you brought up my business and continue to discuss it in detail with no actual knowledge about it at all.

Or maybe money isn't the primary motivation? Odd concept for you I know. You obviously didn't watch the video either if that's your response because if you did you'd realise it has nothing to do with being "good."

Oh noes. How will UJ afford his gold plated chopsticks then???

That doesn't address the funding issues at all. Your conformable middle/upper class nursery is not the norm I assure you. Here's a link you may find illuminating: https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://m.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3D0Zm-mYA6XpQ&ved=2ahUKEwim9byw3s_dAhXCDcAKHYabDn4QwqsBMAJ6BAgJEAU&usg=AOvVaw2GAZVGZ-06kskO8qD0dg8q

I don't think anyone would be likely to have a go at someone for something like that even if they are scumbags. MB has been a decent poster on here for years and I'm glad he's back doing his regular stuff.

We were always going to lose and 3-0 isn't as bad as it could have been. I'm sad that we no longer go into these games thinking we could give it a good go and get a result but these aren't the games where I think we will be looking for one.

He's practically destitute. I heard that in his last trip to America he could no longer afford to travel business class ffs!

No that's what you are accusing me of! Learn to read. Oh dear you've embarrassed yourself haven't you by laughing at me for not reading your post whilst embarrassingly failing to read mine properly...

Absolutely hilarious that you think having less sympathy for property owners in London than renters or those with no property assets amounts to sneering at "poor" people. If owning a property in London is your idea of poor then you need to get a clue and maybe get out of London. The only person treating the real poor with disdain are people like yourself by trying to lump the privileged home owners in with them. It's not particularly surprising that you're so ignorant of real poverty considering how you blanket dismissed millions of people as thick racists just because they disagreed with you. And your comment about nursery just proves you know precisely nothing about how nurseries are funded. Get a clue.

Oh those poor unfortunate London property owners burdened by the expectations of living a decent life. How will they survive? Maybe they'll have to downgrade their venti latte to a smaller one. My heart bleeds for them. What it comes down to is that those without property currently living in London may be more able to get a foot on the property ladder if we see a drop in the ridiculous house prices in London. I and I suspect the majority of the public's sympathies are going to lie with those people and you're going to be hard pushed to convince anyone that we should really be caring more about those who already have a substantial asset in the form of property in London. Or should we be wishing for London house prices to continue to climb because it makes middle class home owners a little bit more comfortable?

Property owners in London are definitely the highest cause for concern when discussing poverty in the UK.

With attitudes like yours, it's no wonder that many people looked at the types of people voting to remain and realised they wanted nothing to do with them.

I always suspected you were a bit of a bellend. This confirms it.

I'd put money on that she won't be.
