Police? Sounds more than you make out if they have the Police there.


Either way, nothing to do with this Govt. The last one, perhaps..........

If police were there It could well have been that they were selling counterfeit goods and that was why they were being loaded into a van.

I've never been in there so I'm just guessing.

Its always sad though to lose a local business however in this case I honestly can't say I ever felt inclined to walk down the road and pop in.

In case riceboy wasnt being ironic


well - 1. Real Wages down due to freezes.

2. Insecurity of employment increased - people spend less if they feel insecure.

3. More people in part time jobs who want full time jobs. Lower wages

4. permitting zero hour contracts. Again insecurity

5. Not to mention the failure to get to grips with the planning issues around town centres.

6. No increased regulation of banks.

7. failure to regulate energy prices


thats for starters.

I love to have a dig at this gov, but you can't blame them for that one, it's been going on for ages. At least it's come to light recently.

They recently reviewed and decided not to ban them . So no I think I am right!

But bad banks have been unregulated for a long time and its not the first time price rises have outstripped wages but you let those go. And the Planning stuff they aren't the first gov to fail to deal. So if you agree that zero hours contracts cant be blamed on this government - who after all are In charge and do have the power to change then you cant blame anything on them.

That's not true. May not have been effective enough in some areas but there was a lot of it about.

and, deeply unpopulist as it may be, people who actually think about these things rather than what's in their pocket right now and the particular bandwagon of the day, realise that a state imposed price freeze on energy bills will be an absolute disaster for the long term energy supply(in terms of investment and creating fit for purpose energy for the 21st century) but hey, everyone (without a brain or with a political agenda) loves it....

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
