This shows why we need to simplify the tax system and do away with NI, it’s just another income tax but people don’t understand that.

Luckily for Steve they don’t sound the same.

Agreed. A few years before I take the state pension but I do think the triple lock needs to go. Most politicians realise this but are scared to face up to it, not exactly a vote winner with the massive pensioner vote. (I wonder if I’m allowed a vote when I retire)

All advice gratefully received

Yeah, we're going to Garda and then Como. Did Verona a few years back and yes, really nice city.

I'm off to the Italian lakes on Sunday, I'll report back on that too if you like 😀

The daughter is staying in Budva for 2 nights and then in an AirBnb (which looks stunning) further South.

Not exactly on topic, but my daughter has just booked 5 nights in Montenegro, will be interesting to see what thats like.

This. The current Labour government is not solely to blame but by Christ they've made a complete balls-up of running the country. They act as though they have a majority of 10, not 150.

A damning resignation statement too. This must be the worst new broom ever seen in the history of new brooms.

Agreed. You could be angered by the death of George Floyd but not felt the need to pull a statue down. There are normally underlying reasons for violent disorder/riots but that is no justification for them.

What about the wife?

Kind words mate, thank you. Just my self-deprecating humour, I don't consider myself far right either. I think all of us bar one or two extreme posters actually hold very similar views. I just find all of this incredibly sad really.

Apparently I'm far right................and so is my wife.

Rivals, a real bonkathon.
