'97 was a weird year. It's hard to explain what it was like for me, but the media, society, music and emerging nationalism bollocks was enough to make me escape to mainland Europe for 5 years.

Stupid nostalgia, green tinted spectacles and failing health sadly forced me to return....

In 97, it was still possible to work in a high street retail job and earn enough to rent a nice sized one bed flat in Plymouth and still have money for toys and fun. Pretty much everyone had workers rights too, including sick pay and holiday pay.

The issue with Gove isn't that his alleged affair is/was with a man, it's supposedly a poweful ex spad who now works in Downing Street, and who is now best mates with Carrie. He's yet another powerful unelected person with huge influence at the centre of our government.

The last time the papers called gove gay it was Gavin Williamson alleging an affair between him and Cummings, so I'd definitely hold the "with a spad" bit as a very seperate claim at this point

I'm just going by the twitter chatter. It seems like an open secret about the spad.

https://www.theguardian.com/society/2021/jul/02/slough-goes-bankrupt-after-discovery-of-100m-black-hole-in-budget

quote:

A third English local authority has declared itself effectively bankrupt after the discovery of a “catastrophic” £100m black hole in its budget – the result of what it admitted had been years of poor financial management and mishandling of commercial investments.

Labour-run Slough borough council in Berkshire issued a section 114 notice on Friday, after admitting it could not meet its legal obligations to meet planned running costs. Without drastic remedial action it warned its financial deficit could rise to £150m by 2024.

As a consequence, the council is to impose “rigorous spend control measures” that are likely to mean significant job losses, cuts to services, and the sale of buildings and land, to ensure it can “live within its means” in the long term.

How do you miss £100m?

The hole was only £10m yesterday.

There's a lot of optimism that the younger generations will eventually inherit wealth and property, when I'm of the belief that the boomer generation are going to be stripped of their assets to cover their care and health needs.

The boomers been left alone with the majority of the cuts due to the Tories needing their votes. As that generation dies off, you can be sure that the Tories will suck out as much of their wealth as they can.

London friend who was there when that happened but has since come home - he didn't have a ticket just wanted some 'atmosphere' - said they only got onto a staircase and mezzanine and it was all sorted quite quickly.
So I don't know if the video ^^^ is an older one with a later time stamp on it or fresh outbreak.

Fans are still storming and breaking through according to twitter, probably inspired by the original storming.

Plymouth Finla Coffee owners say they will fight conviction and fines

The cafe's GoFundMe site has been renewed with statement from owners blaming the council, PlymouthLive and 'hate-filled locals' for their prosecution

...

The couple did not attend the trial held at Exeter Magistrates' Court, nor were there any legal representatives and the trial was held in their absence.

Deputy District Judge Hine roundly criticised the couple for not attending and claimed that the "whole tenor" of the owners' approach was that they had no intention of complying with the regulations. He said the adding that the owners saw themselves as "a cause célèbre" adding "I see them as a risk to public health".

lol, they are going to end up in prison, unless their Magna Carta freeman of the land defence holds up in the appeals court.
