Spose I should re-introduce myself having had such a long break from the forum, (forgotten how to use it)
It's only the sad news about Woody that brought me back to look in.
Since being a regular here I have been beaten up and left for dead, lost my memory (patchy returned), forced retirement, up-sized from 3 sheds to 5 sheds, downsized to 1 shed.
Fell out with eBay, PayPal, Microsoft and many others who won't acknowledge my terms and conditions, wrote my own operating system based on Unix without all the bloat.
Moved house to gods waiting room (1 bed bungalow for assisted living) got rid of almost everything and started again.
In the process of moving into yet a smaller shed where I can sit and play with lasers, 3D printers and all manner of small toys.
Done a bit of stick making, whittling, carving, model making, engraving, welding, car maintenance, fencing, painting and decorating, sign writing, drinking, eating, sleeping, loft insulation all the normal things a pensioner gets roped into for their lazy or too busy offspring.
I have had a brief flick through the pages here and see nothing changes in fact it's really quiet init? Bring back debate, lets have some healthy discussion, arguments etc.
To kick it off here's what I think.
1/ Post Office Scandal.
Stop pouring millions of pounds sterling of our money into public inquiries. Start criminal proceedings and jail the perpetrators, seize their funds persecute them to suicide like they have done. Make them pay the compensation owed with out any further delay.
2/ Illegal immigration.
Don't stop them from coming into the country, don't want to see any more deaths in the channel or needless stress of a dangerous crossing? Want to save millions of pounds sterling in accommodating these people?
A simple solution is to stop them from leaving France, make the French authorities responsible for their borders. Put a couple of frigates on patrol to enforce the rules.
3/Windrush.
You know what needs to be done, stop pussyfooting around and get on with doing it.
Strikes.
Why are only the higher paid professions are striking? Shelf stackers, carers, cleaners etc. All the lower paid sector with invisible thankless jobs, down tools and show who really runs this country.
