Tide Is Turning Slowly. Oh so slowly. But it is Ellwood Hannan column today Even they would deny it. But happening it is

That list of 2000 suggestions on what to do solicited by Rees-mogg has more sucky vacuum cleaners at number two. Would love to see what?s at the bottom of the list Getting rid of Johnson won?t help. Let?s say it?s mordaunt. Or hunt. Or truss. Or (insert your own favourite here) None of them can get us to sunlit uplands Because Sure none of them are very capable. But more realistically it?s fools gold in first place and only dumb people continue to insist otherwise. (Yes you can be super clever and dumb simultaneously) What Timmy golf club in Surrey wants isn?t what Brenda in Carmarthen wants. Or what hannan/cat want Now politics has always been a broad church. But only Brexit promised so much to so many competing views as it?s own special promise. Country still is nowhere near coming close to realising. It?s still all communism ?if only it was done my way?

This is without the consideration ?should any party that has had 4 leaders on 6 years and called 3 to 4 elections in that time even be considered as stabile/capable of running a country? And after 12 years in power it?s clear that no matter who leads them they are an empty yet dangerous vessel and any hint of re-election rewards ineptitude on a massive level.

Well I for one agree x 10

This return to imperial measurements will really show the rest of the world we truly are global Britain won?t it A glorious figure awaits, rejoice!

Sure. That?s how all this works Management will care about takings and footfall. If they go down, and they can determine it?s because they don?t accept cash, then they might change But I suspect their customer base is largely onboard with cashless and everything else is at best pointless annoyance and at worst makes people earning not much money more stressed I?m not deaf to the problems with an entirely cashless society. But this helps no one As I?ve said - cash isn?t some immutable element of nature . It came along after years of trading via other means (and was almost certainly opposed by many at the time) And now it?s fading away. Far better to absorb the info and learn how to adapt than pretend otherwise

Yeah. Someone on living wage is going to LOVE dealing with customers like that

"cash" isn't some god-given, natural force It's only been around, relatively speaking over history of time, for a short time It was better than barter - and I do understand that some older people just don't get cashless. But so few actual customers now bother with cash it's just uneconomic to deal with I'm no spring chicken but not dealing with cash has been a joy. Never having to queue to take cash out? Or worry about bandits looking for my PIN/distraction

from an Irish magazine in 1994 "Recently, Coughlan has moved back to London, a city to which he once said he would never return. He and his wife live in Dulwich, a curious little enclave sandwiched between the Olde Tory Towne of Dulwich Village (where Thatcher was supposed to domicile after she retired) and Peckham. When Cathal goes running, he slows down while passing through the heart of Dulwich Village to give the locals a good look at his favourite Fatima Mansions t-shirt, the one depicting Michael Portillo and Peter Lilley in flagrante delicto."

Indeed malumbu indeed. All true And a former resident of east Dulwich to boot

Surely the most Foxy of all Foxy posts

Glad your daughter is ok Jeremy. Nice to see people rally as well As for the rest - sounds a bit fishy to me. Not knowing the forum was closing would take the biscuit

I get the attraction of using the apps (pretending everyone wants to cook fro scratch or eat healthily all the time is one thing. But come on - reality) Using an app removes all of the hassle of communication (in London especially that can go both ways - caller and hassled restaurant worker) - plus you end up with verifiable proof of what was ordered in case of "misunderstanding" But the cut required by these apps is extortionate and unsustainable - people who want the convenience should be the ones paying the extra, not the restaurant Saying restaurants can simply "opt out" is naive - as others have pointed out - someone using these apps for the smorgasbord of choice won't even KNOW a restaurant not on the app exists - even if the restaurant goes to the bother of pushing flirs/offers through the door. These apps ARE the marketplace now - so expecting restaurants to just click their fingers and reduce costs/wages by 30% is pretty offensive

I?d say most restaurants on Deliveroo aren?t Michelin rates either. What?s your point Ken? You tried to say ja doesn?t know what they are talking about but they clearly do. And they are way more graceful and polite than you. So what?s your actual point ?

Frost still losing his mind He was proud of his deal. Bigged it up massively He walked away from his deal and says it?s shit. Unconscionable. Forced on him But he won?t shut up What is the point of him. He didn?t have any power. Had some power. Loved it. Hated it. Blames everyone else. (Whilst continuing to insult and patronise Irish people Absolute gobshite. Only liked by other gobshites

I genuinely fail to see how you can have any kind of debate about Palestinians, what?s happening to them and not talk about Hamas I think what is happening to Palestinians is all kinds of wrong. But you may as well say ?I won?t discuss this if we ever mention Israel? Cowardly cherry picking from pretty much the only person who ever bothers with this thread. I?m not knocking you for caring about this subject but if you want more people to engage you can?t proscribe the terms like that

This is good on the absolute piece of garbage https://philipstephens.substack.com/p/the-last-days-of-boris-johnson?utm_source=twitter

I?m not sure comparing any countries policy to that of the state of Israel is all that wise But in any case they attempted it and abandoned it as a disaster What makes uk think they will do this better? (Because it will be another humiliation at best. Inflicting misery on others for no reason than to throw red meat to the core racists who will never be happy in any case. Farage kicking off about it, about not having finished Brexit. Blah blah)

Stratton resigned because they were parties. Everyone knows they were parties. If you really do look at the gibbering buffoon act and want to believe him, or dismiss they whole thing as a trifle then there is no hope for you

It?s not like Britain hasn?t ditched leaders in wartime before (nor is Britain at war right now) And it?s not like other countries aren?t replacing their head of state right about now

countdown to the "I'm no fan of Boris... BUT..."

Not even implication is it? This morning i see frosty is thrilled that is column has the support of the madman Dan Wooton from GB NEWS Think big, Frost, think big

it's not that it's emotive or OTT - it's just plain wrong. Like pretty much most of the article. And the project itself Still, being wrong hasn't stopped many madmen in their time
