Boris certainly pledged to plant more trees at the 2019 GE but largely because Corbyn had put it in his manifesto and it was proving to be a popular pledge especially amongst young voters. It was widely reported that they were failing early doors although to be fair we did have the pandemic...

How are the melts this morning? Still crying over free speech? I see Neil Young closed with 2 protest songs.

He’s on BBC2 from 10. The BBC managed to broker a last minute deal.

Oggy.

Waaaa! Waaaa! Glastonbury has got political. Go go ga ga, Knee Cap received government funding. Snowflakes. Turn your TV’s off. Neil Young is on a bit and the majority of his back catalogue is political talking about social injustice.

Can anyone explain why if as Trump said they’ve obliterated Irans nuclear weapon development sites why can’t the UN’s nuclear watchdog detect any increase in radiation at these locations? I don’t doubt that Iran is trying to develop nuclear weapons but I do doubt their ability to to develop...

WTAF are you talking about?

Ha ha ha, trying it out for a while. Good one. The Tories tried it out for 2 years. They planned on spanking as much of £10 billion on it if re-elected. Labour saved the country £9.7 billion simply by being elected. I bet come the next GE no one will be running on a manifesto to bring it back...

Ha ha ha, without an alternative. What’s the alternative to spanking £700 million to achieve nothing? Not spanking £700 million to achieve nothing?
