Don’t skimp on the mastic. Even Unibond isn’t that good. Buy Bal or something similarly priced. When I worked on sites the masticers made it look easy. , the top tips they gave was buy decent mastic, how you cut the nozzle is crucial. They used to use a variety of wooden dowels cut and shaped to...

Yeah I ain’t a fan. I’m just not going to get wound up by a lie perpetrated by Tories. If you want to get behind Tory lies then knock yourself out.

The initial tweet is a lie. Kevin Hollinrake is quoting what Starmer said in opposition that he would have frozen council tax for the following period. At the GE he promised a 5% cap which has been kept with the exception of 6 councils as your own link shown. He has indeed broken A promise. Just...

I’m not making excuses for him. The link posted was incorrect, he never promised to freeze council tax except in opposition. His promise at the GE was to cap at 5%. Which ironically as someone else’s link has subsequently shown has been broken in the case of six councils. Your own personal...

Didn’t he say that in opposition and was specifically talking about the period of 2023-24 while the party in power was allowing council tax bills to go up by huge margins. IIRC correctly the promise at the GE was that they’d cap rises by 5%. In other words he’s kept his promise by your own...

He’s directly quoting Sergey Lavrov from an interview he did with on C4 news on day one of the failed invasion.

What’s Trump trying to do. Start WW3?

Cancel culture gone mad. He’s such a paper thinned snowflake.

The biolabs is a complete qanon Russian backed conspiracy theory. There’s never been any tangible evidence to prove anything. Russia violated the Budapest treaty when it annexed Crimea, it’s actually been in violation of it from day one with its interference in Belarus which it never really...

It’s nearer to 1 in 30 than 1 in 20 Steve. The working population was 43.2 million at the last count.

What violation? When?

If anyone had have said to me at Christmas that we’d be in the playoffs by Easter I’d have told you bollocks. Yet here we are. Once again I have to eat humble pie. Well done Frank, the credit lies with you. Keep on proving my initial reaction to your appointment wrong. Humble pie tastes good.

A draft dodger giving it large in front of his mates to someone who refused to leave his country even as the world suspected it would fall in a matter of days if not hours. Tells you everything you need to know about Trump. A coward and a bully.

The standing charge relates directly to the cost of production, the reason the cost of production is so high is because the cost of fossil fuels. I don’t know what you thought those stats prove but in reality all they prove is we’re still too reliant on energy produced by fossil fuels. It’s...

Wind your neck in, I’m not cheerleading anyone. The grid upgrade is critical to green energy expansion and simply can’t happen overnight and it’s green energy that’s going to drive down energy prices. It’s a statement of fact as inconvenient as that might be. Anything else is a straw man argument.

Come on FP, you’re better than joining the straw man argument brigade. You’re smart enough to understand that green investment including a massive upgrade of the grid isn’t going to happen overnight and until then we’re tied into energy prices dependant on the cost of fossil fuels. It’s going to...

For sure. Not as much as Trump though.

Farmers big time. Morons who didn’t realise Medicare and Obamacare are the same thing and are now complaining that they don’t have medical cover after cheerleading the dismantling of Obamacare, the MAGA stronghold who booed Republican senator Rich McCormick at a town hall meeting over federal...

We need a reality check on our nuclear arsenal. It’s too big. I read an article years back on it that suggested that we could cut it by more than half simply by the fact that we do have allies with an arsenal too. It’s dick waving vanity to maintain its current size. One of the most startling...
