I think they are referring to graveyards being full of weeds. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still seems a bit demented because some of those grieving families might be quite happy not to have certain chemicals pumped into the ground near their dead loved ones, though. i'm jumping in without having seen anything on either side of the argument but i would assume from the wording of "effective" weedkillers means that not all brands or types were banned, just ones containing particularly nasty stuff, idk. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be on brand for an council SNP to use banning weedkiller as cover for not doing any upkeep. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think they've hit rock bottom but then you find there's rock bottom, fifty feet of crap and then North Lanarkshire Labour. It's sad, Labour have some great people but they just keep burying themselves in bollocks like this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Folk seem to have adjusted their expectations to accept that the Tories are filthy asset-stripping shaggers. So long as they can keep being seen to crack down on dirty foreigners, they'll be fine for another term after this, at least. Big Keef will have been replaced by then, surely. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cannot see him staying on beyond that; he will go willingly or otherwise. Hopefully we will have had a successful IndyRef by then so the machinations of Westminster will be of less importance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There must be a lot of people in the Labour Party questioning their own judgement in supporting Starmer. There is no indication that support for Labour is going to increase significantly any time soon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
