Kind of bored with politics just now. Ok there are massive issues but we just seem to be going round in circles with everyone looking clueless.

Sadly most of the best posters are banned now mate. I didn't agree with them but I like debate.

One of the most sick countries in the world btw.I've just retired and seen what the state 'PENSION'(it needs capitals to remind people) is.I'm fine as I have private but how can any hard working person with only that live.It is a joke,but for a lot of people that is it.

As long as the rich can avoid taxes they could not care less for the little people that work all their lives and find they have less than the minimum wage to live on.

it's just polarised in my view... to many people looking for confirmation and not challenge.

right now, you're either brexit/remain, indy/union and pretty much that defines everything.

i suppose with such big national and constitutional questions floating around that will always happen (e.g. look at NI with UU and SDLP basically gone)

Just looked and it says state pension £164.35 but I also have £5.08 protected payment.In other words £169.43 a week.
It is an absolute joke that some people have to try and live on that or even the base level.Apparently our state pension is the lowest in any major country.

I'd rather the beeb concentrated on him shagging prostitutes behind his wife's back and then paying them off.

And although my eyes were open
They just might as well be closed

Nah I heard about Trump shagging pornstars on YouTube. His lawyer confirmed that he paid her hundreds of thousands.

And although my eyes were open
They just might as well be closed

Boom! Remember that Young Turks channel Shakey. You used to link to it alot about the keystone pipeline that you seemed to be against when Obama was in charge. What did Trump do with that pipeline again.....
