Just one of the mock headlines from the Dialy Mash which once again rings so true:


Resumption of credit-based fantasy land edges ever closer


"Those who learn from their mistakes are doomed to drive the same car for three years and watch a slightly smaller television," says economist

While this is significant it's hardly suprising and more or less inevitable result of globalisation following the end of the bipolar cold war and American hegemony, ironically sped up by the enourmously costly endeavours of te Bush administration aimed at maintaining it.


But its not that significant.


I like Fisk because he's a total nutter and winds people up the wrong way, but you always have to factor his agenda and enormous ego when Reading anything he writes.


What does crack me up is the nutters his stories inevitably attract in the comments. It actually negates he need for the Private Eye 'From the Message Boards' as they couldnt hope to parody this.


Depressingly awful comic genius.

Care of the elderly is not usually on my radar (I'm in personal denial) but the news of the couple who died in their freezing home this week brought a tear to my eye. What a nightmarish way to live your final days. Whichever of them was the last to go (it is though that this was the wife) would have faced certain death alone with the corpse of her dead husband by her side. I can't stop thinking about that. It's just too awful. Anyway, this is interesting reading.

That is a horrible story, it kind of makes you wish to "hope I die before I get old", as Townsend once said. Trouble is I'm more or less there already. A sad indictment of the way we care (or more appropriately don't care) for our elderly. God help us all.

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
