I found this totally stunning, how can anyone be so blind as to continue to do something so stupid:

An exemplar of the problems in funding farmland, investment in technology, failure to think beyond 10 years - never mind a couple of generations. The damage is speechless.

White Bluff farming is dead. Don't be be like White Bluff.

It’s called the blood wolf super moon or something like that. And there’s a lunar eclipse later. Probably the only time tonight it won’t be bright as day out!

I don't think she is too bad, even though I didn't vote for her. I didn't vote for Tony Blair either but thought he was ok, under his leadership the UK had the longest period of uninterrupted growth for 200 years so he must have got someone right.

Fair enough, but, Blair started with a sound footing, rode on the coat tails of global growth and jumped ship when he could see the sh!t was about to hit the fan, dropping his good mate Gordon in it.

Yes - even the Chancellor, Gordon Brown, admitted that in the first 2/3 years of the labour government
they rode the good economic conditions which the previous Tory government had initiated. Then he
had the bright idea of selling our Gold reserves off. I reckon the only thing he got correct was to refuse
to let Blair steamroller the UK into joining the Euro.

Blair should be hanged from the walls of the Tower of London by his own entrails!

He’s a war criminal, a traitor and a cûnt of the highest order. I disapprove of his very existence.

And why the media keep wheeling out his smug, self satisfied grin to pass comment on various subjects is beyond me.

That's politics for you, we all have a differing view, I think he did well as a PM, the voting public must have thought similar as he was in office for 10 years.
Had a Tory leader carried out some of his policies they most likely would have been hailed a hero.

A bit like Maggie, did some good stuff, did some bad stuff. No worse than many others except that he left the coffers bare :facepalm:
