Ex teacher, woke lefty Europhile, baker, gardener, grumpy old woman.

I’ve always loved these. Sad that so many gardeners do their best to eliminate them.

An impressive sight, and the beginning of grown up government, I hope.

Me too. I would never have believed how low the country could go, under these self serving graspers.

I do that sometimes, very satisfying. But one time I took pity on a poor old chap who was hobbling round and round the news stand looking baffled, and ‘found’ it for him. Sad, isn’t it.

I’m biased, being related to the author, but I recommend this book. Available paperback or Kindle, give it a go. 👍

Serious conversations about policy seem to be impossible for them, they go for sound bites and prepared slogans, and never really discuss anything in depth.

Ooh I envy you that lovely long washing line, and the stunning view. Since we downsized from our smallholding to a bungalow, our horizon has shrunk and in order to make room for fruit trees I had to settle for a whirly one. The neighbours are lovely though. 🙂

It’s strange being the elderly parents too, when the children start showing concern. In my head I’m still the young mum who could do wonders, now they suggest asking for a ramp to get off a train!

"never mind a 2p tax cut, my nan's just spent 36 hours on a trolley, there's a pothole in my street you can see from space, and half the classrooms at my kid's school are out of use because of that dodgy concrete." We can't afford any more tax cuts, stuff needs to be paid for.

She got the better of Nick Robinson on R4 this morning, despite his constant interruptions. ‘You show me yours, I’ll show you mine’. 👏👏

The Tory response to this, as to any complaint about lack of services, is that £x billion has been spent on it. But how much of that goes into the actual services, as opposed to the coffers of the venture capitalists behind them?

Jeez. The ceiling of an intensive care ward collapsed onto a patient on life support & hours later a falling lift broke a doctor's leg in a 24-hour snapshot of Britain's crumbling NHS hospitals last week

What a shocking indictment of 14 years of Tory Govt

I don’t believe it’s that bad, but we live in a very peaceful area, not a city centre. Most people here are caring and generous.

But will anything be done to stop them? They have got away with outrageous bias for so long.
