@Fergie_CJ @db_fink @PaddyGordon There was also a mortgage cap of around 2.5 to 3x the main salary. Combined incomes and overtime were generally not allowed. Thatch got rid of that and it all went mental.

@db_fink @PaddyGordon Were you buying there for £1 then? Loads of perfectly affordable property in the worst recession of my lifetime, when entire streets of houses were derelict. Were you buying them then? I doubt it.

@Princedex1110 @NlBro @ScotNational You lot. The SNP is a devolutionist party. It’s taking a bit of time for actual Scots to realise the SNP are London controlled.
English
@DRFW @NlBro @ScotNational If you don't need a s30 then why haven't you lot declared Scotland is independent?

NEW: An SNP majority will 'unlock independence', the party have said after a major new poll projected the results of every constituency and regional list
English
@R0Poem Whatever Theyve got on him, and it must be bad, a decent human would chuck his hauns up. But the next is probly worse. People in Scotland still wanting to be controlled by peadophiles and murderers from furth.
English
@NlBro @ScotNational We don’t need a section 30. That’s for unionists. We’ve already got European support. If SNP go on the wrong route they will be despised as the unionists they seem to be.
English
@ScotNational How? Westminster will block any section 30. So can we get beyond the span-spun rhetoric and get to a strategy?

@ScotsFootyCards Brian B complicit. Forgot there were so many great actors involved.

@DRFW Saw that one again fairly recently. One of my favourites.

We can't have been the only family to call it "Tales Of The Totally Predictable"?

@theSNP @JohnSwinney How. The planning system? If not what? Get the sound bites tae Falkirk and be honest about we can actually do while you keep us as a colony.

@DRFW @gylesnamopaleen Oh no, it does produce things. Entertainment for one.

London should really declare independence and become and EU city state. There. I've said it.

Massive reality check. An expert politics professor reveals 21 percent of the UK lives in poverty. Shockingly, without London, the UK's GDP would be lower than Mississippi, the poorest US state. Decades of underinvestment have completely destroyed the North.

@Donna__McLean Evolution is not that quick. Most people are still Stone Age.

@itaintwhywhywhy First coupla Yes albums were also ok. They had songs. Right, that’s as far as I concede. Prog was awful.

All* of Genesis in all their formats as well, come to think of it.
(*apart from Mama, which is astonishingly brilliant)

As a child of 70s punk, I have softened over the years to many bands I point blank refused to listen to (Led Zep, Pink Floyd and other rock god behemoths) Apart from Queen. I've always fucking hated Queen and always will until my dying day. And MUSE can fuck right off as well.
English
@itaintwhywhywhy If the Lamb hadn’t been pre CD it would have been a pretty good hour. Otherwise, awful nonsense. My big brother forced all this prog on me. I had Little Walter albums to play.
English
@itaintwhywhywhy Not just me then. Hate Queen and the Eagles, but I hate Queen more because they’d occasionally have a decent song.

Why do so many people despise Queen? I’m not a massive fan myself, but the hatred just seems off the charts. It can’t still be because of Sun City.

While America kept them cult, the UK and Europe embraced The Cramps fully — their twisted rockabilly vision aligning perfectly with a scene hungry for something more theatrical, more dangerous, and completely unorthodox.
FORKSTER ALT MUSIC ASYLUM@AltMusicAsylum
#MusicMonday FORKSTER FEATURED ALT TRACK 🎧 The CRAMPS — “Goo Goo Muck” After relocating to New York in 1975, The Cramps locked in their first full lineup in April 1976 — 50 years ago this month — with Lux Interior (vocals), Poison Ivy (guitar), Bryan Gregory (guitar), and Pam Ballam (drums) — just as the CBGB scene was igniting around them. “Goo Goo Muck” stomps in with primal attitude and unhinged energy… a filthy, hypnotic groove that helped shape the psychobilly blueprint and still drips with menace decades later. A track that never needed polishing — just volume. 🎧 Watch below youtu.be/dlk1HPfrAcE?si… #TheCramps #AltMusic #Psychobilly #Punk #GooGooMusck #MusicMonday #FORKSTER @ITHERETWEETER1 @Wrix2 @Stow6524 @ugochill @clairywairy88 @TraceMess_469 @Fred_Baliad2 @NewWaveAndPunk @Albums200 @lee0969

@Route_News Good news. My knee operation, partly Das Gruppe’s fault, may coincide. Not the fault obviously.

You aren't getting independence with a two seat majority.
BothVotesIndy@BothVotesIndy
@ScotNational If the SNP do get a majority with the constituencies, they will get no lists seats. That's how D'Hondt works. See the #BothVotesIndy 2021 results here to understand. You don't want another 5 years in the Union do you? bothvotesindy.scot
