I sometimes rue that I didn't do something like that, though I think I would choose a country with less snow! But I'm now over 70 and for the same reason I didn't do it when I retired (at 50) I don't think I can do it now. I retired through ill health (heart + stress) and felt then was not the time to be changing my medical care options and now 20+ years on that same thought applies!

Baroness Mone admits she would have profited tens of millions from the PPE scandal and lying about it, and the National Crime Agency is investigating.

Despite her good looks, I think they should bang her up and throw away the key. :D

Baroness Mone admits to lying through her teeth but insists there's nothing wrong with that. :lol:

And these are the people who set our laws! :roll:

It would seem Labour's figures may not add up when it comes to the non dom status.

As I said, it wont survive a direct hit but good enough if the blast is greater than 20 miles away.

The question was raised at the Liaison Committee whether any airlines are mad enough to help the government send abducted people to Rwanda and still expect holiday makers to book flights with them. Sunak either doesn't know or can't answer. :)

Now he's being asked if it's right that he only pays 21-22% tax and he's blaming Gordon Brown. :lol:

The good people of Wellingborough have voted to recall Peter Bonehead (for bullying and exposing himself) triggering yet another by-election. :D

Just when you think the government can't be any more of a laughingstock, Mel Stride says tens of thousands will be sent to Rwanda. :lol:

Any airline that takes illegal immigrants to Rwanda would be top of my list for booking my holiday flights.
