I woke up this morning and realised that I am at that point in life where I don't know if I am funny, mentally unstable or just a twat. Answers on a postcard please

Quote from: klondike on Today at 09:13:33 AMFarage has had very consistent policies for decades and I believe he is a patriot.

Maybe he takes money from dubious sources but there is little that he says he stands for that I can disagree with.

Putin may like him causing discontent here but I've heard nothing of Reform supporting him unlike the AfD which are probably funded by him.

I completely agree.  In my opinon, Farage is now our only hope for the future of our country.

The only reason why other politicians - probably just about all of them - talk about him gaining monetary support from some sources, but don't all political parties do the same?  They know that their time is now up, quietly forgetting what they themselves (both 'main parties') have done to the detriment of our country. 
Both Labour and Tories are worried to death that they may never be elected to government again, quietly forgetting what they, especially Labour, have done in their recent terms of office.

We have local charity shops... Wonderful people..
 But.. In Reigate we have The Cancer charity shop.. Overpriced.. The staff on the shop floor are great..
I don't know who prices the goods.. very expensive..
 

Nor will I .
I was in my brothers house .
My son rang up and said Mum switch on the TV .
We did and were just in time  to see the second plane slam into the towers.
It's was so shocking and terrible I knew then that the world would never be the same .

Yet .......

" We failed the moral test of 9/11. 25 years on, the West is overrun with Islamist freaks. Our young sing the praises of Islamist armies like Hamas. And anyone who says Islamism is evil is branded Islamophobic. Oh God what have we done?, asks Brendan O'Neill" 

I remember where I was when this tragedy happened..
  I shall never forget the the horror as it unfolded on the tv..

I remember hearing talk about this at work. I thought it must be a light plane when I first heard one had crashed into the World Trade Centre and was wondering how it could have happened. Nobody knew much about it initially. Quite why it provoked a war in Iraq is a bit of a mystery as are where are all those weapons of mass destruction Blair was telling us about.

Arab Spring along with Islamic State and huge numbers of illegal migrants all followed directly on although I think Blair may have already opened the gates for mass legal migration by then. Certainly the Germans are pondering Angela Merkel's legacy now and I doubt all that many fondly recall her as Mutti.

Fishing. Water cooled enough to maybe take some pike without straining them too much. Weed dieing back. Will be the first time this season as the water has been too warm and the sun too bright most days.
