@theavfcfaithful Works for both sides. WH get some PL wages off their books and we can offset the purchase to next season to avoid more PSR crap this year

@kingkapoor72 When I was at primary school a couple of Sikh gentleman came in to tell us about Sikhism. Their Kirpan was a curved dagger about 4” long and completely blunt. You’d bruise someone if you stabbed them. I hope your people don’t get tarnished. Bad apples in all barrels

Don’t let them eat cake! Just when you thought you’d heard it all from Labour, this happened… Labour run Bassetlaw District Council, which covers part of my constituency, is imposing a tax on people selling homemade cakes or fresh eggs from boxes at their front gates. They’ve set this absurd tax at an astonishing £1,007. Yes, you read that correctly, everyone who has the audacity to try to make a few quid from a bit of home baking, or offers boxes of fresh eggs, usually with an honesty box, has to pay Labour a stonking great fee for the privilege. As most people don’t even make £1,007 a year for doing this, presumably this is designed to end this harmless and in fact very endearing practice altogether. Honesty boxes, eggs, cakes, biscuits, sold at a farm gate or the end of the driveway in a rural village.. what could be more quintessentially English. Well, not under Labour. These people govern us as if they hate our country. To make the whole thing more absurd, the fine for failing to pay the £1,007 had been set at £1,000. So you would be better off not paying at all and get fined… I’ve written to Bassetlaw District Council to protest. Bassetlaw’s common sense Reform UK councillors are committed to reversing this idiocy if they take control of the council next year. Another reason to boot out Labour and back Reform UK. Has there ever been a more incompetent and out of touch group of people running our country than this Labour government and their town hall toadies?

@RobertForster3 @theladyfarmer And where do you draw the line, and why? Constructively speaking, just giving you chance to justify your comment, I doubt you will though.

@MarinaPurkiss Whilst I agree with what you are saying, would the same people be happy to put up their own money to start a company that would be co-owned by all the other people doing the same thing? Your’e all in it all out.

June 18th shall forever be known at @FreddieBurns night. It was a great team effort by all of @LeicesterTigers this season and I’m a proud supporter and even had a tear. Here’s to journeys, goals, losses and redemption. I salute you all!

⁦@TheMontyDon⁩ re your article on rewinding with which I agree, picture taken in June of one of my hay meadows, cutting for hay is rotated each year so each field has an opportunity to be visited by bees & rested from sheep. Crop is never cut until the middle of July.

@EllisGenge fella. Not gonna lie, hate your going. Hated the video. But today, well played, well led and great result. All the best for the rest of the season as a tiger and good luck with your family as a bear, but not against the tigers. 😜 Take care
