You need a Korda Krash Helmet , in camo. of course ! .

Now I know why old men wear flat caps. Perhaps it's that time already.

@elmoputney please don't make assumptions I don't think you are reading everything properly. What did I say about reform and political parties? Very few constituencies will have an independent candidate choice in any election. You have the choice then to withhold your vote in protest, or vote elsewhere. If you withhold your vote, it will make no difference, either Labour or Conservative will get in. We have a first past the post voting system, the most constituencies they win denotes the winning party for government. They could in theory win with a minority vote! Oh believe me I dislike the rich elite, I hate the tax evasion, from massive corporations like Amazon (who have never paid tax in UK) to tax avoidance by various ministers in the Conservative Party, many of whom who have never done an honest day's work in their lives. In terms of political leanings I am more socialist than Conservative, with a belief that utilities, public transport etc should be nationalised. Treat the incoming humanely? OK, so as homeless I got put in a hostel, or a hotel. We created hostels on former airforce or army bases. We have put them up in hotels. I was glad for the roof over my head not sleeping in the rough on the streets. I didn't set fire to them, I didn't tear my barrack block down. I made the effort to keep clean, I didn't riot because I didn't immediately get a property.

I'm not offended, but I'm offended by our leaders. George Bush and Tony Blair wanted to be remembered as great leaders, instead they created ISIS, and a series of failed states. Iraq and Iran have gone to hell in a handbasket, Syria, Afghanistan, all from going back into Iraq. Thing is we can call fascism for being on the right, but equally we have our Karen's and woke brigade calling fascism just for disagreeing. At some point we do need to stop incoming boats, that is not fascism. Not all of these refugees are refugees, some are economic migrants. This may be worth a read, long winded I know: I bought a bird feeder. I hung it on my back porch and filled it with seed. What a beauty of a bird feeder it was, as I filled it lovingly with seed. Within a week we had hundreds of birds taking advantage of the continuous flow of free and easily accessible food. But then the birds started building nests in the boards of the patio, above the table, and next to the barbecue. Then came the stinky winky. It was everywhere: on the patio tile, the chairs, the table ... everywhere! Then some of the birds turned mean. They would dive bomb me and try to peck me even though I had fed them out of my own pocket. And others birds were boisterous and loud. They sat on the feeder and squawked and screamed at all hours of the day and night and demanded that I fill it when it got low on food. After a while, I couldn't even sit on my own back porch anymore. So I took down the bird feeder and in three days the birds were gone. I cleaned up their mess and took down the many nests they had built all over the patio. Soon, the back yard was like it used to be ..... quiet, serene.... and no one demanding their rights to a free meal. Now let's see...... Our government gives out free food, subsidized housing, free medical care and free education, and allows anyone born here to be an automatic citizen. Then the illegals came by the tens of thousands. Suddenly our taxes went up to pay for free services; small apartments are housing 5 families; you have to wait 6 hours to be seen by an a&e doctor; Your child's class is behind other schools because over half the class doesn't speak English. Corn Flakes now come in a bilingual box; I have to 'press one ' to hear my bank talk to me in English, and people waving flags other than ”ours” are squawking and screaming in the streets, demanding more rights and free liberties. Just my opinion, but maybe it's time for the government to take down the bird feeder. 🤷🤷 I'm going back to them. I do as little supermarket shopping as I can, I buy my meat and veg from local stores, loose.

Welcome to my world, had concussion twice last year smashing the back of my head on the car door frame whilst loading the kit. Given myself a perforated ear drum doing it on the last occasion. Spend 3 days on the bank wondering why I felt funny 🙃👎
