All together now:
- Oh, the old Gray mare, she ain't what she used to be,
- Ain't what she used to be, ain't what she used to be,
- The old Gray mare, she ain't what she used to be,
- Many long years ago.
- Many long years ago, many long years ago,
- The old Gray mare, she ain't what she used to be,
- Many long years ago.
- Oh, the old mare's making Kier's life a misery,
- Kier's life a misery, Kier's life a misery
- The old mare's making Kier's life a misery,
- Many long years to go ...
Continues for many happy weeks.

What's that, officer? Yes I can! It's satire - it's art - it's vulgar abuse! Where are you taking me..?

Applause!
Sir Kier, Sir Kier, lend me your Grey mare...
Why does socialism attract so many ugly people? Does an ugly ideology attract its own?
Very good.
There ought to have been songs about Dominic Cummings too. He, Gove and Smith are what led us to Gray, Starmer, Rayner, Mili-twunt...
I'm glad to see that Labour are being leaked against as badly as the Tories were by the old furniture in Westminster. Hopefully there is some hope that things will be restrained by the same dark forces that worked against us.
Stability of sorts - though I do wonder why the mafia is being allowed to set up shop fronts in our small town (barber shops, fake mini markets, nail bars... blind eyes are being turned here.)
Starmer Chameleon
Tedious Maximus...
E-K - yes, Kurdish barbers are everywhere, I miss the days when only the curry house employed illegals
Some nail bars are (by repute) Vietnamese etc people-traffiking fronts - makes sense.
But others (by my observation) are some kind of VAT fraud or similar - hardly ever open, min clientele, one idle staff member, next to zero start up cost, equipment etc, ...
I imagine it has a name, I'm just too innocent to know
There used to be a whole host of VaT and money laundering shops. Much as ND suggests.
I recall bookshops and ‘antique/junk’ in Praed Street, Paddington. Used to clear the cash from the hookers in the cheap hotels.
I used to park outside one shop. Which had a rare book in the window. But the place was never open. No matter the time of day or night.
Then, I’m going passed, and I see the door and the place is open. I pull over. Jog back. Go into the store. And ask the man who liked more like a scaffolder than a book shop owner, if I could buy the book in the window.
To which he replied, he was closed.
So I point, and say, it’s right here. I can reach it. I have the cash.
And he responds, “ Get out or I’ll smash your face.”
Fascinating story, BQ.
Great news! The taxpayer is on the hook for this!
"Lord Etherton’s report looked into LGBTQ veterans’ experiences during the 1967 to 2000 military ban on LGBTQ personnel, which was described as “an appalling failure of the British state” by the then prime minister, Rishi Sunak. Carns sought to assuage concerns among veterans regarding the report’s cap of £50m on the total value of compensation payments, meaning the average payment per veteran might be as low as £12,500, saying the government was working on “an appropriate financial redress scheme”. He also said the scheme would be ready by the end of this year, with the roll-out starting in January."
Meanwhile the £2 cap on bus fares ends in December... got to prioritise...
This is starting to look a good election to have lost. These were Tory rules:
https://www.theguardian.com/business/2024/oct/14/vw-peugeot-electric-vehicles-stellantis-paris-motor-show
"The owner of the Vauxhall, Citroën and Peugeot brands has said a decision will be made on the future of its UK plants “in the next few weeks”, amid a row over government electric vehicle quotas.
Carlos Tavares, the outgoing chief executive of Stellantis, has said the company is nearing a decision on the future of Ellesmere Port and Luton. The company said in June that it could be forced to close the plants if government rules were not relaxed. Tavares said Stellantis would make a “correction” to its UK business in the coming weeks in response to the damage the government’s zero-emissions vehicle mandate had done to profitability."
Forget the mare, she's irrelevant and out to pasture.
Poor old Starmer, reduced to that old 'cut bureaucracy' schtick. Sounds more like a tory every day.
Nothing much will happen until the budget and the US elections when we get to see one flavour of foolishness and one flavor of foolishness. Indeed the budget might decently have waited until we see which way the Yanks jump - global econ and all that.
