That's bordering on bull, Pilch. feel free to call me out if you spot one I think I get your meaning. I will also try not to fall into that. I also try not to denegrate to any personal abuse of any poster to their face or behind their back.
Can't call for high standards from our politicians if we don't try to live that way yourselves.
To go completely O/T (sorry) my daughter's birthday card (to London) was delayed for a week because her ppstie was off for a week with no cover - is that "normal" now in Royal Mail Group? (Suppose in a way it is a bit "sleazy" - privatise the company and then let a company that doesn't seem to be doing too badly screw the workforce).

normal ? next time that happens will be the first. there will have been cover, can't guarantee every round is covered every day at the moment but it very very rare for mail not to go out for a 2nd day running, more likely the case it was hand written with a vague or incomplete address, maybe hard to read, something missing, the regular postman might be able to decipher where it should go, it could be the case the 'cover' simply avoided going there for whatever reason ( a sackable, and in fact criminal offence if caught ) |

If you think you are being bullied surely it is in your power to ban people or would you like to withdraw these groundless accusations. The ball is in your court. ahh bless Stick to the point. Ban me and everyone else who you feel is bullying you. I have made a serious point here which you should recognise "someone else make a valid point that goes against the narrative ". Moreover when have you ever wholeheartedly agreed with any post by anyone. |

Moreover when have you ever wholeheartedly agreed with any post by anyone. agree with what ? you've said nothing new about brexit for 6 years nothing new about the tories since 2009 you repeat the same 2 things on a daily basis with just different names I'm the open minded one here not you you criticise the tories full stop and nothing else I'm in total agreement about the tories , I even said so a few hours ago on this thread. (below) whilst I pointing out labour have their very own hypocritical self rightous liar waiting to pounce ( the only one who bothered to respond accused me of making/dreaming it up ) you for one have totally ignored that and instead joined in a chat about me instead and can I just remind you, you are the one who trows toys out of the pram, not me, you probably will again now here's my post from earlier, maybe comment on it instead of me just a reminder, we all know the tories broke rules 24/7, its why they are in such a mess now Starmer rightly spoke up and suggested that now the police are involved you should resign or it will be seen as one rule for them and one for everyone else starmer was so right sadly it turned out starmer is "them" and not "us" RED FLAG |

I wouldn't worry, I'm sure there will be some who will cross the picket lines. I've no doubt that they'll happily accept any pay rises and remaining benefits negotiated by the unions though. |

why do you ask such stupid questions ? what do you think they will do, roll over and die for you and hold one this Thursday with just you being the only person in the country allowed to vote ? |

why do you ask such stupid questions ? Does that count as personal abuse? Only I think you said to point it out to you if you ever did that. |

I am really sorry that you feel slighted that i did not comment on this particular post of yours. Maybe I agree with you. If you still feel bullied, ban me. On another note re Royal Mail. I cannot speak more highly of my postie who has been delivering to me for at least 20 years, I regular post several items daily and 99.9% arrive safely at their destination. I did have an unusual one this week. Posted to Canada clearly and my certificate of posting says so but returned to me by US Customs!! |

Be interesting to see how "clean" Rishi Sunak can make his cabinet - a chance to regain some of the House of Commons reputation.
I do think he's "straight" and I do think he accepted his Covid fine when all he had done was turn up early for a meeting at Boris' No10 of ill repute.
