Falling standards

[Chief]

And things are so good now in GB according to Boris & co.

Remember it's UK now, not GB - its changed to be more inclusive to allow for Northern Ireland, hence for foreign travel GB plates have been replaced with UK

I don't need to change our nationality plates

I've commented previously that this was drifting off-topic which was a gentle hint. Some of it has started to get political and verging on personal, neither of which are permitted under the Ts&Cs. May I suggest that we return to examples of where standards are falling?

Thread drift happened on the first page, it started with table manners and within a couple of posts moved on to the use of English!

Or standards not falling. Without being too controversial I think we might agree that the abolition of workhouses represents a small improvement.

You certainly get a glimpse of contributors character when some of these threads drift !

Nothing wrong with us all being different and not agreeing, it keeps the world interesting.

And their ages, Les!

I'll go on record as being 55, so not that old.

Mild social democracy

There is nothing mild about Momentums intentions and they still rule Labour behind the scenes, they didn't depart with Jeremy Corbyn.
Plus witness the anti-Conservative protest in Manchester just recently, openly waving red flags with the hammer & sickle on them.....
We live (at present) in a democracy where people are allowed to express themselves, not if they took charge......
Plus I note it is mainly the left wing PC brigade that shout people down and lable them 'ists or phobics' whenever they encounter someone with a different opinion to theirs who won't keep quiet and just accept their bullying ways.
Best wishes,
Mike.

Jagnut66, you 'go on record as being 55', but one wonders if that is your actual age!

I was only counting this life, not any previous ones.
Best wishes,

Perhaps we’re all trying to recapture the past, we all run an old Minor !

In which case Jagnut is a Maggie fan

Actually I'm a fan of Sir Winston Churchill.

Right, it looks like people can't take a hint. I've twice cautioned that the thread is drifting too far into politics. The last comment I read was completely political, so I have deleted it and locked the thread.
