There's lots of gripes on the site, but sometimes it's good to have a moan about everything in general and nothing in particular.
Feel free to use this page to discuss anything at all including comments about the site and ideas to help improve it.
So what are you waiting for?

Apparently the police are going to come down like a ton of bricks on anyone who goes out today, gets a bit drunk and engages in a bit of riotous behaviour.
Well, I have a simple solution for anyone who feels inclined to do so. Just get a plain t-shirt and a marker pen and write the letters BLM on the t-shirt. You'll be good to go!

OH NO! Tax rises needed to plug £130 billion black hole from coronavirus, IFS warn
As predicted, get ready for some real wallet pain. I can see the image of driveways full of Geman cars for sale.

Coronavirus: Bank of England expands crisis QE programme to £300bn
Just wait until everybody finds out what they must pay back into the UK's finances when this Covid epidemic is finally over. People at this moment don't realize just how broke the UK is. Peoples life styles are going to be serverely compromised. This is not a good time to spend on credit or commit to something without financial backup.

JDW ‘willing to consider’ new pub name due to slave trade connection
https://bit.ly/30Ln5h0
This is getting bloody ridiculous, first the statues, then TV programmes and now this. What next? Let's just get rid of the UK because of past links to slavery.
You can't change history and rather than trying to perhaps it should be used as a platform for education. Fucking idiots!

State pension: Rishi Sunak 'prepares to break' triple lock pledge despite Boris commitment
I doubt the Tories have the bottle to do this. There are too many OAP Tory voters that would take revenge on them if they did. Fcuk with the OAP's at your peril!

@grumpyoldwoman the motives and movements of politicians still puzzle me.

FIT FOR A KING Prince Harry & Meghan Markle ‘made Canadian taxpayers foot £30k security bill after fleeing £11m mansion during Megxit’
Nice to see nothing has changed for the royals and their hangers on.

Can anyone explain why Keir Starmer is having a go at Boris over the plan for reopening schools? It was only a few weeks ago that Labour and the teachers' unions were saying "it's too soon" and blocking all attempts to get them open!

I do wish people would stop going on about Dominic Cummings. He was ill, worried and trying to do his best for his family. It doesn't seem likely that he put anyone in danger.
I suspect that most of us would have found it difficult to know what to do in the same circumstances. I also suspect that at least half of those screaming for his head have broken the lockdown rules themselves.
Just give it a rest and let him get on with his job; this is difficult for all of us without the professionally outraged making it worse.

Bank of England to finance UK government Covid-19 crisis spending
And prey tell us, if the UK Government is broke, then where is the bank of England going to get this money from? because the ECB is in deadlock.

All-night EU talks break up without a deal amid splits over conditions on financial aid
Eurozone fails to agree deal on €540bn coronavirus rescue plan
Now you know how the EU rich gang keeps their wealth, never part with a penny, keep stalling. Let the little people suffer until the bitter end. Thank our lucky stars the UK sacked this bunch.

"Drivers warned that non-essential car journeys could void their car insurance"
Sorry Daily Mirror, April fools day was three days ago. Stop being such assholes by putting ideas into the insurance companies greedy heads.

Apparently now some of the despicable idiots who filled their trolleys with food over the last couple of weeks are throwing away large amounts of it as the dates have run out. They have deprived others of food which may have been much needed only to waste it; some old people who cannot afford to stockpile have undoubtedly gone without.
Words cannot express the disgust I feel for them.

Prince Andrew will be pooping himself now knowing she will be spilling her guts to lessen the charges she faces. The US legal system will now try to build a case with her evidence to get him into their courts. I'll bet the palace legal eagles are working overtime trying to access the damage.
