Herman 9,764 Posted December 23, 2019 When you see a famous name trending on Twitter you normally fear the worst and hope that nothing bad has happened to them. Farage and Hopkins trending is proof that sometimes the complete opposite applies.😀 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I lived there for 10 years, it's got good and bad points like most places, but overall I had a good time there Its probably a nice place but Mrs KG has been watching a series about some ugly, porky blonde called Gemma Collins who is from Essex. And I just thought if she is the best they have, the county needs concreting over. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The truth will also be a political football. If you doubt me see the 'blame' the firefighters received in trying to deal with an almost unprecedented situation. No. Any company in that situation where there will always be comment or emails that can be taken out of context - let alone any questions of fire safety measures being circumvented elsewhere but politically unpalatable will look not unreasonably to protect itself. I want the whole truth even if it hurts but it may just not be what every body wants to believe. An open mind.

There is a genuine fear of a cover up and that coupled with a righteous anger has lead to a clear "guilty before proven innocent" mindset, myself included.

keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted February 3, 2020 Not enough or too much? I have always believed in meritocracy. I know life isn't fair and probably never will be, but I believe that hard work, talent, humility, social skills are far more important and far more relevant than mere selection for a reason. Then things would be a bit fairer in life. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
