That's the 70's when you didn't have to pay to attend University but could get a grant. When oil, gas, water, utilities, telephones, cars, steel, coal was owned by us, the people. When Councils built homes for people. When a working man could provide for his family. Oh god they were awful😂

This mindset is the least we deserve from a leader. Of course it has to be turned into action. But this kind of ambition and love for the country, this kind of personal but positive vision is what takes people with you. How feeble-minded Farage and Badenoch seem. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
Photo of Burnham waving to the audience in front of HOPE AGAIN backdrop Burnham was not going to die wondering. He knew he might be delivering one of the longest suicide notes in history, but he did it anyway. Because he couldn't not do it. Better to go down remaining true to his principles than being slowly airbrushed out of history like the previous six prime ministers. Failures all. Andy was prepared to burn through all his political capital right there in Liverpool, right then. Not just for his own legacy but for a country he wanted to rebuild. It was the only way he could look himself in the mirror.
Honour his parents.

Yes Nigel, you are missing something; decency, honesty, and a respect for law and order. Clearly they are NOT suspected terrorists. If that were the case the police had a right to detain them for 14 days without charge. Yet again Farage seeks to subvert policing and justice in this country.

For all we know at the moment, the 5 men arrested near RAF Fairford might have been on a stag night. But the wild claims by Trump and Rubio suggest that, if they'd been apprehended in the US, they would have been denied due process. I hope our government tells them to butt out of our justice system.

What is particularly vile is that you can see that Farage is revelling in the notion that there may have been a terrorist attack. That's what he wants it to be. Any moral, decent person would be glad to find out it isn't - not Farage.
