    Happily! That is another total injustice in my view.

    PS - that other petition is now over 1.5 million signatures

      If every person of voting age signed the petition for an election it still wouldn't happen. They know Labour will be wiped out come the next election and they will do their 'best' to destroy the finances of this country before that happens.

        Agreed - at the least though, it may help some folks feel that they are somewhat less isolated in their feelings toward the current crop and realise that they need to get off their backsides and vote, even if that means voting for a party that they might previously have thought wouldn't win.

          I'm not sure there is anyone worth voting for, the problem these days is its all about protest votes as nobody is viable or trustworthy.
          The system is broke.

                I haven't listened to that since they changed the name from The Light Programme. It was only 57 years ago. :heehee:

                I think it's because Zoe Ball's leaving @Loofah , and a listener therefore suggested they should start early because she'll be away before Christmas. I don't really listen to her, but I heard the start of the show today.

                  Signed. Although there is already a compensation scheme but the government are ignoring it.

                    The problem with voting for a party they previously thought couldn't win is that they are correct, the smaller parties can't win. However they can split the vote and allow the party you really don't want to have in power, in power. Hopefully the historically Conservative voters who had a protest vote won't make the same mistake again.

                        The Parliamentary Ombudsman recommended compensation but as I understand it, the Tory government were spared the need to comply by being kicked out and Labour are reneging on their previous promise to do something. As fairygirl says, there's a surprise.....

                            Good morning my moan for to day is :smile:

                            I have ordered the 2 panels at £32 =£64 1 post £25 1 bag of post crete £7 Total £96 as I was going to do the job myself but out of curiosity I shall get some quotes

                            I have had a quote to do the supply and fit 2 new panels £250
                            I told them I have already ordered the panels etc if you take the £96 off of their total it arrives at
                            £154 they said they can only go down to £200 I think they are having a laugh at yours truly
