    I do like the opportunity though BT, to point out that St Margaret won three general elections, despite Lefties claiming she was a hated figure, while Jezza, 'man of the people', didn't even come close to winning one.

    The reality sinkov, like it or not is we are a Conservative nation politically wise.

    My maternal grandmother was an orphan, she was put into "service" when she was eight years old. She lost a son in the Second World War, and lost her husband to injuries sustained in the First World War.

    She was mother to nine children, lived in extreme poverty in the thirties and survived the Great Depression. She queued in Accrington to feed her kids from soup handouts, in her later years she had to rely on the family to sustain her via graciously given weekly food parcels and cash bail outs and yet she would not vote Labour if you paid her.

    She was an avid Rovers fan, the arguments me and my nan had about football and politics are in our family's folklore!

    I just could not and still cannot understand why she voted Conservative. Mind you I feel the same way about all the eejits who keep voting these cretins in.

    I'll not go into my family history BT, but it's similar, working class, solid Labour, Grandad run out out of Blackburn by a Mill owner because he was the Union man. By the 80s, 90s the three that were left, Mum, Dad, Aunty were all voting Tory and I understood perfectly well why. If you haven't worked it out by now mon ami, I won't waste my time explaining why.

    Incidentally, on Vauxhall Motors ground in Ellesmere Port on Saturday, there was a banner hanging over the wall, 'Scousers hate Tories' it said, it made me smile, I thought you'd like that.

    "Children Should Be Vaccinated to Benefit Their Mental Health, Chris Whitty to Say"

    Mr Whitty may say that, I would say it's Mr Whitty who is in need of a vaccination to benefit his mental health.

    Just had a text from my doctor's to stress how important it is for me to arrange a 'flu jab which they will shortly be carrying out.
    I asked my missus if she had been contacted and she had not, although she has the jab every year, being a legacy from her days working for the NHS.

    It did make me wonder about why they had contacted me about a jab because I have never, ever had a 'flu jab and I know that it is on my record that I do not wish to receive a 'flu jab! Hidden, or not so hidde agenda?

    Arses and elbows comes to my mind Sub, more than agendas. Last week I picked my prescription up and the girl said there was a note from my doctor pinned to it saying would I ring to make an appointment to see him, to review my prescription. So I rang, and was told four times they were busy and I should ring back later. Got through at the 5th attempt and was put on hold while the girl checked on what I'd said. She came back on and said the note was for the doctor to remind him to check my prescription in February, and I need do nothing, they would contact me then if any changes needed to be made.

    This was totally different to what the girl in the pharmacy said when she read the note, it sounded complete bollox to me, but I don't have the note, I didn't even see it, so despite being convinced I was being fobbed off, I just said 'aye alright' and put the phone down.

    And this is the Health Centre where, before Covid, I've never had any problem or complaint in 12 years. Now it's a fecking shambles.

    I was reading what an "expert" said about the £5 BILLION cash injection would make to the NHS.

    He said, ZERO difference, because Covid apathy as set in the whole rotten edifice.
