šŸ“° The latest news!

Probably the best place to post this, although I was tempted by The Mind Boggles.

England has the only privatised water in Europe, the most water pollution, and the most expensive water.
The UK has the only fully privatised energy, and the most expensive.
The UK has privatised rail, the slowest, least reliable and of course the most expensive in Europe.
And no matter who wins the General Election things will remain the same.
What mugs we are!

Has anyone else recently noticed the drip feeding of stories in the media around needing to grow the armed forces, preparing for all out (but unspecified) conflict and conscription options? This is just the latest.

Mind you if we’ve only got shoddy kit….

A propeller shaft problem?
