QUOTE (SirWilliam @ Nov 16 2020, 09:41 PM) Bit of "non Covid" news for a change. The Minister for Transport, (name is irrelevant as he will probably be moved on soon), has rubber stamped the construction of a tunnel on the piece of A303 adjacent to a few sarsen stones. According to said minister "the experience of the visitor will be enhanced by not having traffic on view". The tunnel, all £2 billion of it, will NOT increase the traffic flow, bring any form of relief to the inhabitants of Winterbourne Stoke and will quite literally drive a bulldozer through 5,000 years of history. Why don't they just move the effing stones? Bloke with a low loader and they could put them somewhere that needs a tourist attraction. Like Milton Keynes. If you look here and scroll down to the map you will see that the project includes a Winterbourne Stoke by-pass so how it will not "bring any form of relief to the inhabitants of Winterbourne Stoke" I fail to see. Also the project will connect the two ends of current dual carriageway and will eliminate the Countess Roundabout so how it "will NOT increase the traffic flow" I also fail to see. |

QUOTE (polypody @ Aug 19 2020, 12:01 PM) Thanks for the responses folks. By the way Charlie I found your comment 'Didn't try too hard did you' rather sarcastic. He probably meant me. Just ignore him, rudeness seems to abound on this forum which it probably why it is frequented by a certain few! |

QUOTE (James_Trinder @ Jul 13 2020, 10:24 AM) We haven't finished the first wave yet. There are still over 100 people dying a day some days of the week at the moment. But are they dying OF the virus or WITH the virus? And where? I wish we were given more information. |

QUOTE (je suis Charlie @ Jun 16 2020, 05:58 PM) I won’t kneel with the masses, I won’t be told my fate,
By people who hijack tragedy, To perpetuate their hate.
Don’t you shout Black Lives Matter, Whilst running through the streets,
When your people are burning Foot Locker, Stealing Nikes for their feet.
Don’t dance on The Cenotaph, Like it’s Carnival or Mardi Gras,
That sacred granite edifice, Marks people who died in war.
How dare you besiege Number 10, This isn’t even our fight,
If you want to go and protest, Get a 4,000 mile flight.
Social distancing flouted, Police punched in the face,
Missiles hurled at Downing Street., This isn’t about race.
It’s rent-a-mob and anarchists, Versus police led by lambs,
They just stand there and take it, Lefty Cressida tied their hands.
Meanwhile America’s burning, It’s a tragedy we all agree,
That George Floyd lost his life, For all the world to see.
Justice must take its course, The cop has lost his job,
Now he faces twelve good and true, Not a braying mob.
So Monday I won’t be kneeling, I won’t even bow my head,
Because someone I don’t even know, Has wound up dead.
An armed robber and a felon, In and out of jail,
As a model citizen, He was a total fail.
I’ll weep for whom I choose to, I’ll say where and when,
Not because a lifelong offender, Bought it in the end.
I don’t condone the officers, They rightly face the wrath,
But ask me to kneel for a criminal? Don’t make me laugh.
You can keep your lefty rhetoric, Your dismantling of our state,
It’s BLM not Middle England, That’s peddling the hate. You are part of the mainstream like most of us who can absorb and analyse things for yourself. Think yourself lucky!! In the famous words of Monty Python................"You are all individuals, you can all think for yourselves, you don't have to follow anybody"!! |

QUOTE (newres @ Apr 21 2020, 06:47 AM) I’ve a question for the Tory voters. How do you think the government is doing at the moment? I know, not good is it? If only we had voted in Corbyn, McDonnell, Abbott, Lammy et al we could have been out of this by now. Bugger!!!!! |
