Do you see the World changing for the better once the threat of Covid-19 has left us?The climate has been changing since the Ice Age ended, so what is it that people don't understand about that? It's called, 'natural phenomena,' or 'nature. As far as climate change activists are concerned, they should be ashamed of themselves. All dancing around there plastic Tesco bags and leaving a mountain of rubbish in their wake for others' to clear up. Piddling up against anything that doesn't move. They don't mind using cars, buses, motor bikes, or anything else with an engine to get them to where they want to be, to cause as much inconvenience as possible to as many people as possible. Traffic jams everywhere and an ambulance on 'blue light' emergency unable to move. Back in the 60's, these people would have been called "bloody hippies" and told to get a 'proper job.' Those hippies were calling for 'peace' and 'love' and were on a different level, compared to this mob of brain dead morons. Nowadays, there's a better name for them and I will not repeat it! The biggest problem that the world faces, is the interference by mankind against anything. You name it and mankind must interfere with it. Be it nature, horticulture, animal kingdom and indeed anything else that you can think of. Yes, you can be sure that the biggest threat to anything and everything, is the 'know all' interfering abomination called 'mankind.' Leave things alone and STOP INTERFERING!ViewDate:

"really" making new friends!Unfortunately, I have found that the so called 'friends' that I thought I had; were as shallow as a thimble full of fresh air! They weren't friends, they were fiends! All they ever wanted was to use me for their own convenience and, being a soft touch, I fell for it. I was just being friendly and (Stupidly thought) friends help each other. It was more a case of 'friends' helping themselves! Well, I have no friends and nobody that I can turn to. I have learnt to keep myself to myself and some folk think that I am anti-social and possibly a bit of a miserable ol' sod! I'm neither of those things........................ I am just very. very careful.ViewDate:

Which Song Describes You?After listening to all the government bull s--t about covid 19, I think we should change the national anthem to (Collectively) "What kind of fool am I?"ViewDate:

Would you be happy to have a drive-through flu jab this year?I do not intend to have the flu jab, because I do not trust it. There has been a lot of talk about combining it with a covid 19 vaccine and you cannot be sure of what 'they' are shoving into your body. Vaccine's need at least ten years of trials to be, what is considered, safe. Yet, they are rushing through a covid 19 vaccine..............why? Drug manufacturers CANNOT be sued if anything goes wrong. No, not for me, they can give mine to someone else. I do not have one ounce of trust, nor faith, in the government and I think we are being 'controlled' to carry out their plan. So much of what is reported cannot be relied upon and is based upon downright lies and manipulation.ViewDate:

Would you ‘Bung a bob for a Big Ben bong’ on Brexit night?Bung a bob? Oh, no.............not another rip off scam! And, whilst we're at it, what's all this rubbish about 'Brexit night?' We haven't left the EU at all We are supposed to be negotiating to leave by December 31st 2020, but my guess is that we will still be ruled by the EU at this time next year..........................if not forever. As per usual, I think the politicians will 'sell us down the river.' We should have cut ties with the EU right at the beginning, in 2016, not bugger about like we always do, and 'enter negotiations.' Negotiate.......ViewDate:

Should noisy snacks be banned from the cinema?It's not the fault of the cinema/theatre goer, it's the fault of the greedy management that encourage people to be ripped off to buy this stuff. It's just the same when travelling by air. The airline owners can't wait to get people on board so they can flog them as much booze as they can at an absolutely ridiculous price. Then they wonder why there's 'air rage,' Airlines encourage problems so they (the airlines) should be prosecuted for it.ViewDate:

Are Valentine’s bouquets bad for the environment?The worst catastrophe that ever happened to this planet.....................is the greedy humans that inhabit it. They think they know it all, so they interfere with nature, the animal kingdom and just about anything else that they can make a balls up of!ViewDate:

Are newspaper stories to blame for destroying lives?I stopped buying newspapers, many years ago. Amongst other benefits, it's a really good way to avoid high blood pressure, stress, worry, panic buying, ulcers and various other malfunctions associated with being a moaning, miserable ol' sod! One good thing about newspapers, though, is that they can be cut into squares and hung up in the out-building, where they will be at home with all the other sh*t.ViewDate:

Which is better for the environment - a real fir or a plastic spruce?Real tree suppliers are only interested in your money and that is why they will spout on about the environmentally bad use of plastic trees. Personally, I prefer plastic for several reasons. 1. You don't get ripped off every year by greedy real tree sellers who insist that their trees are the only way to go. 2. Fetching a real tree into your home can also fetch unwanted guests in. Things like insects, termites and anything else that is undesirable and you probably will not be aware of it until your home becomes infested. 3. You will not be clearing up pine needles 'til Easter time. Far too much 'brainwashing' is devoted into this environmental panic mongering issue. One thing is for sure. Somewhere, at the back of all this, people are making huge amounts of money from it and that is their main concern and nothing else. If you want a real tree, fine................................get one. If you prefer plastic, that's fine too..............get one. Be happy with your choice and stop ramming your environmental ideas down other people's throats. "Merry Christmas."ViewDate:

Would you be happy if music were banned from cars?Everybody should have the freedom to choose whether to listen or not. However, If there was a ban, who is going to 'police' it? Good grief, there's nobody 'policing' the use of mobile 'phones whilst driving, so I cannot see how banning people from listening to their radio is going to be successful. Yet another pie-in-the-sky crackpot idea created by some power crazy lunatic that would be more suitably contained inside a padded cell..................a soundproof one!ViewDate:

Which is your favourite Frank Sinatra Song?With a repertoire as long as Frank Sinatra's, it is impossible to say which his best song is. However, on a couple of occasions, Frank Sinatra recorded a song called "The night we called it a day." I love this song by Mr. S. and in particular, the last version of it that he recorded. The musical arrangement alone is out of this world, but with Mr. S's voice it doesn't come any better. I could wear out my pc by naming all of the songs of his that I like.ViewDate:

Do you think the tactics of Extinction Rebellion are justified?P0Pcorn 8th Nov 2019 0 @Len33 They are not panic mongering. There is plenty of real science to back up ideas. Disrupting the tubes was a bad tactic because tubes are a much greener way to travel than all those SUVs. Bad tactics is their worst fault. Insults dont count as rational argument. There is no science whatsoever about so called 'climate change'. It's all panic mongering and hype, designed to make lots of money for the super rich and greedy. Many imminent scientists have explained the finer details but, as ever, they are silenced. Not everybody has an SUV, but I bet you travel by 'plane when you go away on holiday!ViewDate:

Do you support Boris's decision to suspend Parliament?The Conservatives never intended for Britain to leave the EU and that is why the last 3 1/2 years have been completely wasted. The only reason that I voted for them in the last general election, is because of their 'promise' to TAKE US OUT of Europe and not do a partial exit with one foot inside the EU and the other one on the outside. As far as I am concerned, the Conservatives, Labour Party, Liberals and a few others, are traitors, liars, con artists and cheats of magnum proportion and should be prosecuted for false representation. That isn't going to happen though, because the system is corrupt and is as bent as a monkey's tail. There is no such word as 'democracy' in the UK. What was the point in holding a referendum about staying, or leaving, the EU? Worse still, is the way that some 'leavers' have succumbed to the rhetoric of the politicians that want us to stay inside the EU for their own greedy and political benefits. The general election will tell, but I suspect that the Conservatives will win the day. (Not with my help, they won't!) It seems that the British people are terrified of not voting for what they know is right for us all, but instead want to just go with the flow. Rather like the King and his 'new suit of clothes.' They all knew that the King was naked, but didn't want to appear stupid and all agreed that the new suit of clothes was fantastic and the best suit of clothes that they had ever seen. Only one little boy told the truth and I am firmly on that little boy's side. Get rid of the two party system of UK politics. Get rid of the fossils that are in parliament and all of leaches that are sucking the life blood out of the UK. We urgently need a completely new political start in the UK and have done so for many years. For me, personally, it has to be a vote for Nigel Farage and the Brexit party. I'm not asking anyone to agree with me, I am merely stating what I consider to be the only way forward.ViewDate:

Should over 70s be banned from voting on the country's future?A lot of younger people (Not all) are not sufficiently endowed with a fully working brain to be able to vote and should be stopped from doing so. Just because they have reached an age that allow's them to vote, they think they know everything.........................and they don't! They are gullible. self appointed narcissists. Would they like to attend a newly qualified dentist to perform some difficult task on them, just because they have newly qualified from dental school? No! They, like the rest of us, would find someone that has a lot more experience. The world has enough problems without adding to them by letting some gun-ho youth take control of the nuclear button. If this comment offends some of the youth..............tough, get over it..........................the same as we have to accept your 'ageist' opinions.ViewDate:

Do you think the tactics of Extinction Rebellion are justified?Climbing on top of trains and gluing themselves to an aeroplane roof? What a crowd of hypocrites. Everything in their lives has been man made for their (And our) convenience. Stone me, the world has been warming up for a long time. Why do they think the ice age came to an end? It's a natural phenomena..........................get used to it! They congregate from all over the place and how do they get there? Public transport, cars, motor bikes and anything else that requires energy to propel it. Bikes have to be oiled and where does that come from. (Don't say, "Halfords!") No, these people are panic mongering trouble makers that are just hell bent on causing as much mayhem as they can. Greta Thunberg needs a size 9 up the arris! Once upon a time they were referred to as 'hippies.' Now they have a fancy title and have shortened that to XR. I have a name for them. Time Wasting And Trouble Seeking. Shortened, to Twats!ViewDate:

Should smart motorways be scrapped?Yet another crack-pot idea. When these motorways were constructed, the planners had absolutely no foresight. Somehow or other, they failed to realise that roads will get busier in due course. Many, many drivers' have been prosecuted for stopping on a hard shoulder for what was considered to be an inappropriate reason and now 'they' want us to drive on them? If that becomes the norm and someone is unlucky to break down on them, they can probably kiss their arse goodbye! Has Grant Shapps taken leave of his senses? (Highways England? Huh, what a joke) We don't need to pay his 'department' loads of money to tell us what we already know........................"smart motorways are a death trap...............end of!" What don't you understand about that? Now get on with some real work and stop faffing about.ViewDate:
26th Oct 2019 Len33 commented on:
Should 'wolf-whistling' be a crime?Absolutely, completely, totally, and utterly ridiculous! What brain dead moron considered it inappropriate to 'wolf whistle' in the first place? More frighteningly, how is it that all the 'politically correct' stupidity has been allowed to become statute and people seem too scared to say anything aloud? Yes, the plod will attend if anyone is reported for this dastardly crime; but be unlucky enough to have uninvited guests rummage through your house and the they will be too busy to attend. Presumably, too busy chasing the villainous wolf whistlers and bringing them to justice! Britain has gone to pot. Oh, for the good old days...............not so long ago!ViewDate:

Do you support Boris's decision to suspend Parliament?Well........ here we are, once again! Despite all the promises and hot air about "come what may, we will not ask for and EU extension and we will leave the EU on October 31st............................I'd sooner die in a ditch,..................blah-blah-blah-blah." The referendum was a complete waste of time. Why? Because 'they' had already decided that, despite their promises to 'uphold the decision of the British people,' it was already decided that they would prevent it........just as Harold Wilson did in the 1975. (Yes, I didn't believe that result, either!) However, there is a positive side to all this. We now have absolutely 100% proof that the political parties (Tories, Labour, Liberals, Greens, etc) are all habitual liars and will promise you anything, just to get your vote. If and when there is a general election, I think it is about time we all fought back and showed these despicable people exactly what we think of them and get rid! We are desperate for a new way in the political arena. The only party that has stood firm on the present issue is the Brexit Party. Some of you will not agree with what I say. That is your right and I respect it. A lot of fickle minded people have been brain washed into listening to and accept all the clap trap and false stories of gloom and doom, meted out by those that have a self interest and motivated by greed. The only thing that it has achieved, is panic mongering, fear and setting the people against the people. We have the chance to change things around and get rid of the 'wolves in sheep's clothing.' Or, are you going to sit back, blame everyone else and let the future of Britain be ruled by the people that are self elected in Europe. Every November, large numbers of people gather in Whitehall (And many other places) to honour those that 'GAVE their lives' so that WE could be FREE.. Yes, free...............and Brussels wants to claim our freedom and have us live OUR lives THEIR way. If fail to understand why many in Britain cannot to see that. We have to 'take the bull by the horns,' do something positive and vote the politicians in the Westminster gas factory. out! Not just accept being pushed and pulled around by those in there that couldn't give a damn about us. You have the chance.............don't waste it............it's up to you.ViewDate:
10th Sep 2019 Len33 commented on:
Do you support Boris's decision to suspend Parliament?Well, I do not know how you have come to that conclusion! 17.4 million voters' made it quite clear that they (The majority) want to leave Europe. it was a democratic vote and all the parties said that they would honour the outcome of it, no matter which way it was decided. Then, unconstitutionally and undemocratically, they (The arrogant, self important, crass politicians) showed their true colours. The true colours that 'they' never intended for us to leave in the first place! Hype, hysteria, fear mongering, exaggeration and blatant lies That is 'their' (The politicians') idea of democracy and lots of people, without a clue of how to think things out for themselves, follow.......... like a load of sheep and actually believe what these dictating cretins say. The remoaners' should stop bleating, accept that the people voted to leave Europe and get out of the way. If they love Europe so much, let them go and live there...........we don't need them here.ViewDate:

Brexit - what happens next?"Can’t believe there are still people wanting to leave without a deal. If you don’t care about the implications for yourself, you should care about the vulnerable and poor people in our society who will be very badly hit." Really? Perhaps you could explain exactly what and how these 'poor people' will be affected and how you, in your opinion, think being a member of Europe will prevent it. We (17.4 million) did not vote for a deal, we voted to leave.......full stop! One 'deal' that was mentioned, was for Europe to continue it's hold on the UK fishing grounds. You think that's right? Well, ask the fisherman their opinion. If we have any deals, we are still tied to Europe.ViewDate:

Do you support Boris's decision to suspend Parliament?This is nothing to do with Brexit, but it does concern Boris Johnson. On the news this morning, (Saturday 7th Sept) I had a really good laugh at the scene in Parliament as Boris Johnson mouthed off (Over the shouting chaos) at Corbyn, "big girl's blouse." Oh my goodness, I could see the funny side of that and it was much relief from all the shouting, back biting and bickering that goes on there. Needless to say, the do gooders, and the pc brigade launched into it and accused him of being 'homophobic' and 'misogynistic.' What the hell has this country turned into? Are we not allowed to laugh and have a bit of fun? Well, sod the pc brigade and if that offends anyone............sod them, too!ViewDate:
6th Sep 2019 Len33 commented on:
Do you support Boris's decision to suspend Parliament?So much speculation as to Boris Johnson about taking us out of Europe and now...................here we are...................almost back where we started in June 2016. The one and only time I ever voted Tory, was when Teresa May declared a general Election. The reason for my vote? Because they promised to take us out of Europe. In fact, all the parties promised to obey whatever the outcome of the referendum would be. In reality, they have totally ignored 17.5 million voters and are doing what 'they' want. I could go on for ages, but what is the point? In passing, I will just say this. The MP's that have caused enormous damage, one way and another, should be prosecuted for their false representation. It wasn't truthful and it certainly was not honest. But, there it is, that's the twisted and corrupt world of politics Anyone fancy reporting them to the Advertising Standard Agency? Oh, by the way, I am a firm Brexit Party supporter and I will definitely be voting for them if and when there is an election.ViewDate:

Should seagulls be culled?"Attacking tourists in our seaside resorts is certainly not good for tourism and they leave a lot of mess!. ReplyPriva Obviously not nice, nor healthy, to be accosted by these birds, but there are similarities to human behaviour here. For instance, Gypsy travellers (And others) who attack people for no reason. And, have you ever seen the filthy, disgusting, mounds of rubbish and smelt the vile stench left behind when travellers leave a site? Get caught dropping a cigarette but in the street and you could get a huge fine. (No, I do not smoke) Gypsy travellers, on the other hand, leave literally tons and tons of rubbish in their wake and get away with it..............for free and Councils let them. Which side has the bird brain?ViewDate:

Is July too soon for shops to be stocking Christmas products?Yes, July is far too early to be thinking about Christmas. In my opinion, November is too early as well. When I was a child, the countdown 'til Christmas didn't start until December, then things started to move. I can remember the excitement that I felt. Now, annoyingly, Christmas starts as soon as the summer holiday for schools ends and, as sure as night follows day, Christmas puddings will appear in Tecos, Asda and all the other stores. The greed of mankind in general is way beyond belief. The likes of Harrods and other big stores are a total reflection of this greed. They aren't giving shoppers the chance to buy early, they are greedy capitalists that are out to make as much money as possible and to Hell with everything else! Talking of 'greed,'.....................the church comes top of the list. Grab! Grab! Grab! That's all they do. I'm not at all religious and in fact I think all religions are a farce. I think more killings are committed in the name of religion than anything else. I seem to have wandered away from the main subject here, but I'm sure that many of you will get the point of my view, as well as those of you that are devout followers of your religion and, given the chance, would probably want to rip my windpipe out and hang me with it! Remember, I wasn't born with these views on life and mankind, I learnt them through every day observation of human existence. Oh well, time to climb down off my soapbox. Peace to all.ViewDate:

Do you agree with the TV licence changes for over-75s?The BBC (Biased Broadcasting Company) should have moved on with the rest of the world a long time ago and gone commercial. The absolutely grotesque amounts of money given to the likes of Lineker, etc should be made a criminal offence! I stopped watching the television more than three years ago and, instead, I watch all sorts of things via my ipad on YouTube. I can watch, what I want to, when I want to, and no TV licence is necessary. I do not like sports programmes:Cooking: Soaps: Gardening: Antique repeats, or lots of other so called "entertainment" rubbish that you have to fork out £154.50 to gawp at. These days, you can 'stream' the ipad to either an HDMI socket on the rear of your TV set, or to the HDMI socket on a monitor. All that is needed, is a Google (No, I get nothing from them for mentioning that name) Chromecast adapter and they can be purchased from lots of different places, both online and off.ViewDate:

Do you think planning and pre paying for your funeral in advance is a good idea?For many years, I have worked in the funeral trade. Personally, I think that a pre paid plan is a good idea. I paid 'up front' for my funeral plan in 1994. That was the year in which my late wife, of 24 years, died. And before you say it, no, I did not get a trade discount for either of them! I realise that funeral plans are an unregulated industry and things can go wrong, but sometimes you just have to make a decision and get on with it......................rightly, or wrongly. Like time and tide, procrastination will wait for nobody.ViewDate:

Is the 'Naughty' label not nice?As a result of meddling from 'those who think they know best,' we have ended up with a massive, massive problem that has grown over time. I'm not interested if people agree with me, or not, but taking the cane out school was a huge mistake. The fact that it was there to be used, was (In most cases) sufficient to make a person think twice about doing something that they already knew was wrong. Yes, there will always be someone punished for doing something that they did not do. That, however, exists in all areas of life and not just in school. In London today, we have quite a few murderers freely walking the streets. Murderers that will never be brought to justice and these people will presumably go on to kill again. Nobody will ever know, except the individual concerned. They are people from a generation that 'do as they want to' and God help anyone that thinks any different, or gets in the way. When the cane was taken away from use in schools, it wasn't done to protect the pupils. No, it was the greedy teachers' trying to cement their employment by letting all the parents be aware that their 'little treasure' would be wrapped in cotton wool. Well, teachers,' thank you very much, well done. You have helped to create a world of social misfits that have all the legal protection that 'the system' provides for ................at everyone else's expense. I'm certainly not blaming the teachers' for every breakdown in discipline, because it should be taught at home as well.................it's a two way thing. However, there are many recalcitrant parents out there; so things will only get worse because, guess which era they grew up in!
