Good luck to you Raven... Hope you now show positive signs of get back to where you were .. at your best ..x

Quote from: Vlad on December 19, 2025, 11:16:12 AMIt's all very odd, a strange feeling of not being in charge. I have made all my own decisions since I was 15. Now it's all out of my hands, 

It all looks fine for you ..Any move in later life can be a difficult one.. We get stuck in our ways..
Your move sounds wonderful.. In charge of the garden.. a bit of dog walking...
Better than an old folks home any day..

'..strange feeling of not being in charge'..
As pensioners we are NOT in charge as far as our children are concerned..
They even ask us if we need to visit the toilet before going anywhere.. 

Hopefully the saving on food is small but I doubt that. They probably eat a lot better than many pensioners despite the restoration of the stolen winter fuel allowance and our generous £10 Christmas bonus.

I intend to spite them if at all possible by living forever.

From that it sounds like the collapse or near collapse was the best thing that could have happened. Let's hope it all flushes out and leaves no ill effects.

Imagination JB.  The 15 year old decided not to think things through and the likely consequences of his actions.  He'll always be recognised as being a killer, and possibly have nightmares/flashbacks for the rest of his life.  Any chance of a "normal" life is gone.

🤣🤣🤣
That shows just how determined they are!  They're hoping for some softies to publicly support them.
I hope they don't.  I also hope that they keep up their intention, as it would save the rest of us some money to keep them longer and, for that matter, to pay for their food!

Imagination?  Immigration?

As for the 15 year sentence, assuming it isn't reduced in the meantime, the criminal would be out in his late 20s free to live a life, possibly, of crime.
Once again, hanging is preferable.  If necessary, it could be postponed for a few years in jail in case of contradictory evidence.  He would have something to look forward to then in the meantime!

Once all we oldies die off there will be no need of hordes of people to pay old age pensions .
Less people use less resources .

Quote from: klondike on December 18, 2025, 10:24:25 PMWell some will clearly emigrate but we are already not reproducing at a rate that maintains the population level. Perhaps that's why they are so keen on the trannies.

At the end of the day, the future of this country is in the hands of the white British people.  I can understand the reduction of births these days, because most people don't see much of a future for their kids.  However, there is still a small chance that if Reform can turn things around and people become a bit happier for the future, especially employment possibilities, the birth rate might begin to increase again.
Nothing will happen until 2029, though, and I wonder what further damage can be done by Labour before then.
