You can also see Papyrus (corner of Byres Road) next door. Here it is on a map That looks outside the zone to me. I'm also amazed that Jedi can tell that the car fails the emissions test from such limited evidence. Isn't he truthful & clever! @Jedi2 are you going to clear this up for the sake of the viewing public? Many may fear that you have been compromised by, at the least, a geographical ineptitude? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a matter of interest Jedi, what academic subject is your famed PhD actually in? You've previously demonstrated that it isn''t in anything mathematical or use of the Englsh language, and have today added geography to the list. Can you get PhD's in "bands named after Bernard Cribbins greatest hits" nowadays? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the Tories are the virtually the only party on the right and there are several parties on the left then they win most of the time. Apart from the Greens, who else is on the left? I'm 49 years old and on Friday I'll see a second Labour leader win a general election in my lifetime. Neither of them are left of centre. The first of those leaders won three elections, but in the last of those his party came second to the Tories in number of votes won in England. The UK only votes Labour so long as they're led by a conservative leader, and only for as long as is required for the Tories to sort themselves out. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can remember a time when Labour were regarded as left wing and even some members of the Liberal Party. Question Time was actually worth watching and panelists from these parties said things I agreed with. Unfortunately as such they didn't win elections. It could be what you are saying is right - that England is essentially a Conservative country and Labour only win if they promise not to actually do anything. However since 1955 the Labour Party and Liberals together always got more votes than the Tories alone. I am suggesting that maybe with PR they wouldn't have had to both give up their values to get elected. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most ordinary people will recognise a family man trying to secure some family time, even if it is just one evening a week. The idea that Sunak works 24 hours a day, and therefore so should everyone else, isn't going to turn the tide here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
