Oh go on Clutterqueen,let them get all their pent up frustrations out.

All so childish, in 4 years you can vote got more things in my life to worry about why people have Todo stupid stuff is beyond me

Agree or disagree with him he's here for 4 years

It's always trial by media these days the only truth in most papers are the date and price

Same when an MP has an affair media decide he's got to be sacked who cares

Most prime minister's would not stick by there judgment of the personas they more concerned about there position

We are not a banana republic

think the boo thing is a bit rubbish - however


"Agree or disagree with him he's here for 4 years"


is categorically not going to happen - in 4 years:


Boris will be long gone

UK on way to being gone

possibly election well before 4 years time as well


"We are not a banana republic"


Then "we" need to stop behaving like one. Action without consequences is what happens in banana republics. Scotland had no problem telling senior people they had to leave when they broke with policy

It may be a silly thing to do but we are in weird times, where for the first time we have a prime minister who lacks integrity, underpinned by someone who lacks humility (and numerous other traits we would expect), as we seem to slide towards an American way of politics where flawed/sociopath character seems to win you popular support.


Having to wait four years adds to the frustration.


Having a big riot in Trafalgar Square, returning to my reference to Class War, was similarly an immature thing to do, but it was one piece of direct action/mass disobedience that did have some impact, albeit pushing at an open door as many Tory MPs did not support the poll tax

I never understood class war so what if people earn big bucks no I don't I grow up in council house left school at 15 but worked my way through life never jealous of big earners waist of energy

As for what he did if I had a child and was in the position to do that I bloody would he put no 9ne in danger and seeing his boss so ill I would have been terrified of what could happen Yes poll tax was unfair but sacking someone for this

Can you imagine the people who did break the rules being sack a friend of mine drove from Kent to Newcastle just to see her son and girlfriend he's a mummy boy she and her husband are high risk fat diabetes and bad chest I told her she's crazy but didn't care

I understand strong feelings so each to there own, there will always be rich and poor most of us in the middle

And Boris father didn't make money until the 80s he got a scholarship for Oxford and lived with his nan in a run down place in Wales

But freedom of speech is good and each to there own

Everything you listed says we ARE a banana republic !!

Yeah fair enough.

When we are ALL asked to limit our movements for a nationally important emergency, if you feel it doesn't apply to you just flick it off and do whatever you want.

Freedom of rights, right ?

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
