Quote: Alfred J Kipper @ 21st September 2023, 8:31 AMWhen the EU lost their right to meddle in our policy making the ECHR, based in France, stepped in to tell us what we couldn't do on immigration, now we're looking at getting rid of that sham political outfit. Now UNESCO, also based in France, has decided to tell us we can't build the much needed tunnel under Salisbury Plain that our Highest Court has finally cleared to go ahead.
Why? Because it's too close to Stone Henge, a world heritage site UNESCO, based in France, seem to think they own. So they want to condemn Brits to the tedious 100 mile long traffic jam we have to put up with to get to the south west for ever. Are they ever going to stop their petty revenge and arrogant meddling in our own affairs? Doesn't look like it.
You're not much of a Brit if you're happy to see part of our history damaged for the sake of alleviating traffic jams. Shame on you, Kipper.
Looking forward to meat prices going down, now that the 'Meat Tax' has been scrapped.
They managed to drill that new railway line under Lunnon without anything caving into the holes

No10 confirmed the meat tax was never government policy.
In October 2021.
"We have no plans whatsoever to dictate consumer behaviour in this way."
I guess he spent so much time with liar Boris Johnson that he assumes lying is part of the job
(Especially the day before parliament goes into recess too)
Bin day today for me
Our back street is just a sea of bins, dozens and dozens of 'em
Thank f**k Rishi put a stop to this madness...

Have the Cons forgotten they only introduced the sugar tax in 2018 ? They don't need to tell us they don't plan things, we've noticed (Brexit).
I saw on TV that loads of councils are having terrible financial problems with many going into bankruptcy. Maybe they could start by getting rid of the Chief Executives on obscene salaries.

Yup. Thurrock Council, local to me and where I used to live for a few years, went bankrupt because they gave an obscene amount of money (half a billion) to a guy's companies, over 100m unaccounted for. Madness. Essex County Council have had to take the reins.
Councils don't realise any more that they're there to run services and look after residents. They think they're there to promote causes.
My local council is over £600M in debt (Kirklees)
They recently paid a quarter of a million for some flower boxes around the town hall.
Presumably, so that they had a nice view during meetings.
They are selling off buildings and paintings. They have Lowery originals adorning the boardroom walls.

Well let me explain for you office worker types who probably don't realise - You can't see a tunnel from above ground. So this is just another case of sour grapes revenge meddling to try to show us they still have power over us. They don't, the tunnel is going ahead and if they grass over the 303 the view is going to be even better. This move is just a stunt by a load of eco warriors who don't even realise the project could unearth some important archaeology just as the railway tunnelling is doing.

Why am I thinking about a piece of cheese that is no longer situated on the cracker?
