    Introduction of European Entry-Exit Scheme (EES)

    Went through Schipol last week. Flight arrived 15 minutes early, they didn't have steps or a jetway ready for us, so we sat for 40 minutes till a jetway was put into position. Directed to the Non EU area by an airport staff member, did the machine bit, passport, face scan, fingerprints and told...

    Elon Musk - the world's "greatest" spiv?

    They could all end world hunger and poverty forever with a click of their fingers, that they don't tells you all you need to know about every single one of them, they're only interested in the progress of the human race so that they can make more and more money out of them, they're all...

    Gigs or concerts attended

    Iron Maiden in Amsterdam last week was brilliant, what a venue the Ziggo Dome is, great acoustics, great sight lines, bloody big!! Only thing that let it down was that there was one merch stand for the floor and floor level seating bowl and only 2 for the Level 1 and 2 bowls (we queued for an...

    18/6/2026 by-elections - including Makerfield

    I wonder why this person was not asked to confirm where and how many cases of Ebola were in the UK?

    Gigs or concerts attended

    Well, it was last night. If there had been no announcement of his illness, apart from looking thinner than I've ever seen him, you wouldn't think there was much wrong with him. They have more gigs lined up for the next few months and a new album recorded, potentially released in October. Last...

    So why vote for something you have no intention of wanting? That's absolutely batsh*t crazy man, listen to yourself

    Thoughts on the Trump presidency

    There would surely need to be a ventilation duct for the bunker too, I'm certain the police/ army/ National Guard would be able to overpower any of Trump's unpaid militia and block it off, or put something in that forces them out

    2026 Local Elections Thread

    I take it you've missed the reports of US bombers arming and refuelling in the UK to bomb the crap out of Iran then? I'd say that's a pretty substantial role in the war.

    2026 Local Elections Thread

    Lobbyism, Landlordism and vested interests will put paid to any policy that tackles real (or perceived) injustice/ decline/ rejuvenation/ growth. It could all be canned in my opinion, by preventing second jobs for MPs and no donations to parties at all (that also includes the Unions to Labour)...

    2026 Local Elections Thread

    As I made my way across Edinburgh from work to Tynecastle, I passed a few polling stations (sorry, can't get away with Polling Place as they call them up here) and there were queues outside at a few of them. When I was able to cast my vote, just before 9pm, the Regional vote ballot box needed me...

    Reform UK discussion

    Enough to give the inward looking, mostly elderly inhabitants the heebie jeebies. Most of them can't stand townies to start with, never mind people from another country

    Reform UK discussion

    But we now have actual evidence of Reform in governance being 'no better than the others' that lots of the electorate spouted as reason to vote Reform, so yes, they will deserve everything they get

    British culture

    My drinking career began in Somerset when I was 16. Returning home to the North East at 19, I began going out in and around Chester le Street, Durham and Newcastle. What I found was that Friday was lads and lasses night out where lads went out with their mates, lasses went out with their...

    Reform UK discussion

    This is why councils had to start inserting another sheet of paper in with the council tax bill for the next year outlining 'What we spent your council tax on last year' with breakdowns and pie charts etc. And STILL people don't read them, so remain uneducated, they're only interested in the...
