If any of you are still working from home due to COVID-19 as an employee, you can claim expenses... https://www.gov.uk/tax-relief-for-employees/working-at-home

Christ almighty. Can't we have a conversation without someone winding someone else up?

I've tried to clean up this trainwreck of a thread. Keep it civil. Ta.

Neat. Reminds me of The Rakes.

Some folk believe it because they get shown a graph with big, bold letters on Facebook by their mate from the gym and think it's the truth.

I think there was an internal party exercise to constantly smear Corbyn as well don't forget. He certainly wasn't a leader of men, he was the wrong man at the perfect time for a potential Labour GE win - which is a shame, because there were some really good Labour policies that could've helped a lot of people right now. We are where we are, and we're the all poorer for it.

I don't think spending has changed much for ten years - whatever increase that has been applied to the NHS has pretty much stopped the decline rather than improve the service, as most trusts are in deficit anyway. I can tell you first hand, whenever the NHS interfaces with a subcontracted private health company, it usually falls on its arse and the NHS get's blamed. I can't embellish this with any details because it's all a bit sensitive.

Absolutely, they did a job on Corbyn (they did a similar job on Michael Foot too back in the day). Spin machines churn out memes and bot posts about MP's getting numbers mixed up, or just for eating a sandwich, or drinking a can; however you can count on one hand how many memes there are about an MP saying Grenfell victims lacked common sense, or the successive MP's who lost and destroyed a hundred sex case files at the Home Office, etc. General public are being played.

How the fuck did Clair Fox get a peerage? I mean we could look at any of them, but how did that happen? (edit: I'm aware this is going off-topic, please go ahead and bypass - I'll shut up now )

I think we owe it to the next generation to boot this lot out before it's too late. Generally speaking, not limited to the handling of COVID19... Grenfell and subsiquent enquiries. Windrush. Jenrick. Dominic Cummings. Patel bullying enquiry. Patel misunderstanding of common law. Grayling. Kent border. GFA. The fridge. Hancock. Lebedev. Amber Rudd. Exams. Limited and specific law-breaking. Helen Whately. Brexit. Boris Johnson. Kakistocracy. We're due a change, let's try somet

Let's give them a try.

I think you're being way too generous.

...I guess that answers my question.

It does say commercial sports facilities/business for sale, is this how it works? I suppose it doesn't matter either way...
