AFAIK, it's decriminalisation not legalisation (maybe that's a cop-out, maybe it's not), which would also apply to tobacco.

Decriminalisation is fine, and that’s what the Green Party policy seems to be heading for (after a Royal Commission). I thought he said legalisation but I may be wrong.

Seems Ipswich football club have fucked up a bit

What? How?

Mick Mills, John Wark, Alan Brazil, Paul Mariner... How your club has fallen.

Joey Barton would have been a better choice.

Stop the Tractors.

I always considered Farage more of a Norwich type.

The Freeze Peach mob are loving it but if I were an Ipswich sponsor or influential supporter I'd be wanting some answers about why they've been quiet in the subject.

I think Ipswich dropped a bollock letting Farage pose for photographs at the ground with one of their shirts. Obviously he has the right to visit the ground like anybody else but posing with the shirt does give the appearance of some kind of endorsement. There have been some suggestions that the club chairman of the club is a Farage fan which could prove tricky the club when pursuing sponsorship deals with companies that wouldn't want to be associated with Reform.

I thought Brummies went to Weston-super-Mare - or "Birmingham on Sea" as my Brummie brother in law calls it...

They've got Lynn, Wisbech and Sheringham about right.

As a resident of WsM I can confirm that Birmingham on Sea is a common nickname because 'locals' are as likely to have a Brummie accent as a Somerset one (there are also a lot of London/South Easterners). I don't really know about holiday makers/daytrippers because I avoid the seafront and town centre during high season. As the nearest seaside resort, WsM has been a popular destination for Brummies ever since the railway came here in1841.

Which is also round about the last time the sea went there.

Him being there is one thing. The club being caught out trying to excuse themselves is quite another

Lying liar tells lies

Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has pledged that if his party took control of further councils in May's local elections, it would ensure council tax rises in those areas would be lower than in those run by any of the other parties...

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/ce9m0gmypndo

Erm. Haven't RacistUK-led councils announced the highest caahncil tax rises in the country?

...Speaking ahead of a rally in Leeds on Tuesday, Farage claimed councils run by Reform UK since last year's local elections had already saved "tens of millions" of pounds.

That had been achieved by cutting "wasteful expenditure, unnecessary work and money being spent on DEI projects", he said...

Hasn't this already been proved false? Why, yes! Yes it has.

Worra cunt.

Instead of the maximum 4.99% it would go up by 4.98%

I've noticed the Frogman's getting a bit tetchy in recent interviews.

Pressure building, cracks showing, effort required to keep the Tory and NF veterans from brawling in public ...

He undoubtedly is. I mentioned similar a couple of weeks ago on here. Reform have hopefully peaked too soon. That said, a non-white committing an atrocity of some kind would be manna from heaven for them, and the summer months usually see a surge in knuckledraggers coming out to fight/shout about boats/riot/hoist flags (suppose it at least gives their long suffering partners some very brief respite from having their bones rattled and their faces bruised). They could do with the council elections in August. They'll get a free ride regardless from their cucks at the BBC, Sky and the rest of them. Like with Denton when they missed an open goal, it will be all about Labour and the Conservatives failing instead.

From memory, the savings were things like cancelling new fleets of woke electric vehicles and charging infrastructure, a significant capital expenditure saving which they claimed as a benefit in its entirety.

Of course, keeping the knackered old fleet increases operational costs as repair bills increase and they spend more on hire vehicles while they are off the road. And that is before any fuel price shocks are factored in.

Probably noticed the polling isn't as bright as it was a year ago.

As for his council pledge we've been here before. Liar lies. Also the recent Welsh poll looks likely that he will crush the Tory vote but Plaid will have several options mostly with Labour.

I see Ipswich still haven't realised the shitstorm they've created.

Somebody's blown his cover.
