Since becoming an MP, Nigel Farage has managed to fit in nine trips to the US, has held down twelve jobs, which earned him nearly £1million, but has been too busy to hold any surgeries for people in Clacton who actually voted for him.

The words are in a different order in a French dictionary to an English dictionary. For example an english fish comes before a french poisson. Ha ha.

My opinion is that Farage and Reform are specifically empowered by whoever is behind them with one object in mind. To cripple and or destroy the UK.

Mmmm, struggling to hear the words being sung on Benjamin Britten's opera Peter Grimes on BBC 4 tv. Fortunately sub titles to the rescue. But is it me or do others struggle also?

Probably think I'm sticking up for Max but I don't exactly agree with Leclercs sideswipe on Max?

Seems like Max didn't really give Russell the position back only half back and then tried to be too sharp and steal it back. But going back to the previous incident did Russell push Max off? Looks like it? So I can understand Max's frustration.

I wonder when the supermarkets will pass on the fruit and veg price cuts or will it be like petrol with us having to wait and wait.

Did Red Bull completely cost Max Verstappen a win? When they pulled him off the soft onto hards. The softs could have done 18 laps with no pit stop and max in the lead? They might have lost a few seconds on their last few laps? He had the softs on lap 48 or were they part worn?

Looks like Verstappens race was lost when they brought him in and had no option but to put hards on.

So after years of buying Chinese steel for his own projects. Donald is now allowing a foreign company to acquire US Steel. We all know in the UK what happens next, bye bye to Pittsburgh Steel.

Omg, so the supermarkets are messing with the sourdough bread. Adding additives like ascorbic acid etc. Not therefore a true sourdough loaf.

I think it's true to say that there is no way Trump is going to war with Putin over the Ukraine.

Surely with about 3 million age eligible youngsters in the uk why do we need overseas students and why are we not helping more uk youngsters into uni education.

We in the Sovereign Democratic Countries are bored with Trumps rantings. If Americans are not careful it is they who will be taken back into the Commonwealth, for their own protection from tyranny.

I'm seeing people having horrendous time trying to hand back their Renault Zoe leased batteries. I'm seeing reports about the Vauxhall Mokka ev and how it appears Vauxhall don't care about software issues. Similarly Citroen and NCAP issues. Will this affect me in buying from them, probably.

So Tesco is paying for yet more expensive technology at self checkouts. VAR style camera monitoring. Yet all it actually needed to do was employ cheap as chips staff to check you out as in yesteryear.

I've not done the maths on this. It's just a feeling, a hunch. Looking at Banks, Supermarkets and other large companies. Since computerisation and ditching staff etc they seem to have done worse, costs up and profits down. The sheer cost of running the computers far outweighs the savings in staff.

Nigel Farage is still playing the populist vote with no idea how to fund any of it. The mans a fool.

Is there really a difference between attention levels when using hand held mobile/cell phone and handsfree. Similarly is talking with onboard passengers similarly dangerous? Moving on is the recording of YouTube videos whilst driving similarly distracting?

I think social media fuels the following action. Whatever government is in power they vote for the opposite at the next election.

When you purchase a sliced loaf do you ever wonder if its an odd or even one. i.e. does it have 13 slices or 14? Or do sliced loafs always have an even number of slices?

Just contemplating changing the odd internal three pin house socket 240volt uk to BS1363-2/EV. Why? Well if they've been tested and made to this standard, if say someone plugged a heavy load into them and left it on for hours they are less likely to overheat and set on fire?

Don't worry old age pensioners. Under your Conservative governments your grandchildren will live in tents, shop doorways or in extremely expensive mould ridden rentals. But had you voted Labour years ago your grandchildren would now be renting good, clean council properties. That guys is the truth.

Oh I see, after Brexit our fishermen caught more fish. Entirely true but got paid less. They got paid less? Yes thats right. Due to Brexit it takes longer to get their catch into EU markers so the fish is not premium fresh and is not worth as much.

Now lets see... When was the last time a Senior driver, flew their car upside down, crashed through a wall, demolished a house, wrapped their car round a tree? Yes never. So why the big cry about senior drivers in the media and with insurance premiums sky high.

I do wish radio stations like LBC, BBC etc when playing clips of UK fishermen criticising the continuance of the EU fishing deal would ask the fishermen to be specific.

Its not far away. The day when the Internet becomes totally untrustworthy. When that happens several substantial areas will be affected. We will not be able to use Internet based Banking. No shopping via the Internet. Governments will not be able to communicate via the Internet. Etc,etc.
