Oddest thing about that is I am seeing it a lot but is the country in a worse place than its been say in the last 10 years at least? No not really.

In fact every decade will have this narrative at some point, nostalgia is a wonderful thing it's also utter bollocks. I do think the world is more concerning than since the end of the cold war.

However with Britain, it's probably the upper and middle classes special interest groups are losing out and that's why they are angry and they have more money to spend on telling us all about it. Let's face it that school fee campaign was so well promoted and yet so self interested it ached. Now we are seeing a similar thing with this renters bill. I will say I think what was on offer this time to rent was far better and affordable than what was around the last time in 2017, I think I lucked out a bit with the bedroom and small spare room, I am back to just a big room but the area looks well nice and peaceful with good links.

Oh they are still silly but I had a good 3-4 properties to be honest, I was scraping it back in 2016 and 2017 (I just got lucky)

Mike Graham sacked from TalkTV after ‘failure’ to assist inquiry into racist post
Broadcaster suspended presenter last month over Facebook post he said happened after account was hacked
Looks rather like he wasn't hacked, and thought that the investigation would have proved he wasn't. Could an investigation actually do that?

Still, good to see the back of him.

I wonder whether he will team up with Noel Edmonds again?
