BRFR Cake Stop 'breaking news' miscellany

[Ian H]

Working class means nothing unless it’s got hard-working in front of it and used in a political speech.

I worked for 45 years but can’t claim those years were all hard-working. My aim was to do enough and no more.

I sympathise empathise. I did spend some time painting pretty pictures and living on a rather modest income. Nowadays I just grimace when people tell me folk should be 'passionate' about whatever crap job they're applying for.

Impressive. Not that I'd mind extra incentive going towards using less fossil fuels, but still at the moment the economy and country would grind to a halt if we did run out, as there's some way to go on renewables being able to run everything...

I still can't work out what happened to Tony Blair. His current stance makes even his Iraq War - Tony Bliar era look distinctly moderate. People like Major and Brown seem to have stayed pretty much as they were, so how has Blair got radicalised into this caricature? Did Iraq break him, like Brexit broke the Tory Party and all those who sailed in her?

Maybe, just maybe, this is who he always was.
I always saw him as a self centred, out for his own gain, shyster. He'd fit right in with MAGA.
