@the_wessex_lad @stuey_beef What impact? There are other ways to dig holes.

@stuey_beef Believe me if JCB left the country the impact would be huge. The damage would be irreparable. Whatever anyone might think about Lord Bamford he is a very successful man. When he speaks people should listen.

Rachel Reeves has managed the impossible: she’s finally found a tax so vindictive it can make the heir to JCB – a symbol of British manufacturing since 1945 – talk openly about taking his family firm and leaving Britain altogether. When your “growth strategy” is so hostile that one of the country’s biggest employers says it would be easier to become an American business than stay under your inheritance‑tax raid, you’re not governing – you’re liquidating the productive middle of the economy to feed an insatiable Treasury. Labour promised to make Britain a safe home for investment; instead Reeves is sending a very simple message to every family business and manufacturer: build it here, and when you try to pass it on, the Chancellor will turn up like an executor with a crowbar.

@djcoesy @DNSYE_podcast Orient tried to sign him, the manager at the time lamented years later we only needed a few more fans through the gates and we could have afforded him. At the time some of the turnstile operators were letting fans jump the barriers in return for a couple of quid, which they kept.

@DNSYE_podcast Great story, The Holdsworths lived in Sth Woodford and I used to live nearby. Coming back from a game with my WFC scarf on a lady asked me the score &turned out to be David's ex wife. She was lovely but said he never felt loved by the fans which was sad as he was a vgd for us!

Great little story from Dean Holdsworth for a Monday morning here…🐝 #watfordfc

@YourSouthend Does it pick-up doctored number plates? That would have a much greater impact on safety than someone not wearing a seatbelt.

Confirmed: A new type of AI speed camera has been installed in Southend, as part of a wider trial across Essex. Southend City Council agreed to bring in the technology through a scheme led by the Safer Essex Road Partnership and Essex Police. But it’s worth noting, the council does not receive any money from speeding fines issued by these cameras. The bright yellow camera has been mounted onto an existing streetlight on Eastern Avenue, near Cecil Jones Academy. It’s positioned on the dual carriageway heading towards the Garon Park roundabout and McDonald’s, where the speed limit is 40mph. The device, known as a “Redspeed Sentio”, is an advanced 4D AI traffic enforcement system. It’s designed to monitor multiple lanes at once, with the ability to track up to six lanes of traffic simultaneously. Depending on how it’s set up, this type of camera can detect a range of offences including: • speeding • running red lights • using a mobile phone while driving • not wearing a seatbelt It also uses high-resolution imaging, meaning it can operate clearly in both daylight and at night. More than 100 of these cameras are currently being trialled on roads across the UK, as authorities look at new ways to improve road safety and clamp down on dangerous driving. According to the Safer Essex Road Partnership, speed was a factor in nearly half of the 60 deaths recorded on Essex roads last year. The long-term aim, through “Operation Vision Zero”, is to eliminate deaths and serious injuries on the county’s roads by 2040 or sooner. Have you noticed this new camera on Eastern Avenue yet?

@anon_opin What about no number plates? All the rage in London.

There is one hundred per cent correlation between people who have personalised number plates and people who are cunts.

@bruceyb34r @AmzLOFC A deal was offered but he turned it down to play L2. Maybe the offer was insulting?

@AmzLOFC No but could do a better job in CM where we lost the game today

We got rid of Ball... for fucking Bakinson. Unreal #lofc

@Pandamonium1881 The Orient Hour presenters were was too optimistic this week with their predictions. Following today on paper we have a favourable run-in but I’m not so sure its going to be that easy.

Far too close for comfort! 7 points guarantees safety but I reckon 4 would do it. That would leave Exeter needing to win at least two of their remaining three plus drawing the other #lofc

@elvismemphis @OrientOutlook Maybe contract not being renewed?

@OrientOutlook I've not been too impressed with Simpson of late He don't seem focused

@Andywobss I was about to write there’ll be nothing up front if they do. But that’s the same as the first half. So why not.

This game is lost, just subconsciously perkins and Mathews and see what happens, could be fun #lofc

@dave43law @DailyMail They’ll all be Russian agents.

Putin's sailors can claim asylum if UK seizes ships, ministers fear mol.im/a/15724219 via @DailyMail

@OrientOutlook Orient to lose 2-0, I’m afraid.

@DeborahMeaden Can’t make any money from it. Usual story.

No idea why these guys don’t like clean air, energy security and a future for the next generations…and…

@LouiseLearJones @jdpoc @AllisonPearson I was reading they attract all types of wildlife as the grass and wild flowers grow.

@jdpoc @AllisonPearson They're elevated from the ground, too .. livestock can graze in fields with solar panels..

No, Miliband. You should not be covering prime Lincolnshire arable land in solar panels. It’s for growing food, moron. One day, the batteries in a solar farm are going to cause an inextinguishable blaze. This will be your fault, Mad Ed.

@jdpoc The usual suspects will start howling soon.

@StevenageFA I remember when you drew Orient in the cup the year after being denied entry to the football league. Battled for everything and some real quality in that side who played at the highest level.

📅 OTD 30 years ago | Boro thrashed rivals Woking 4-0, with Barry Hayles, Efe Sodje, Dave Venables and Neil Trebble all getting on the scoresheet

@CrewkerneGaz ….because Starmer writes Waitrose policy for dealing with theft.

The Top Gear lads decide to pinch Jeremy Clarkson’s Hawkstone from Waitrose after learning staff are no longer allowed to stop shoplifters. Keir Starmer’s socialist utopia is in full effect. {satire}

@Eyeswideopen69 And they conveniently forget all the other taxes collected.

Because of pensions. They never say the silent bit out loud.

@MuseIsOnX Blocked for posting AI slop.

@leytonorientear @LofcLoza @OrientOpinion Nowhere to put the solar panels though.

@SouthStandO @LofcLoza @OrientOpinion that's much more like it!

Let’s kick off with some poll on poll action shall we?! How satisfied were you with the consultation material in relation to the new stadium? #LOFC #LeytonOrient #Orient

@ronnie4861 @OrientOutlook @LOFCAcademy Not sure we have a choice, the system is build around the big boys picking up talent for peanuts. Besides it’s a gamble for them too. Look where Daniel Nkrumah is now.

@LOFCAcademy @OrientOutlook If Jakob carries on like this, one of the premier League giants will offer £350 grand for him, & the club will let him go, just like they did with Teddy Lamb. We rarely see great academy products in the first team at Orient, they sell them before that happens

Running out of words for Jakob Lowe 🤯🔥 Another game, another masterclass: ⚽️ 1 goal 🎯 2 assists That’s now 8 goal contributions in just 3 games, unreal form. 💫⚽️ #LOFC #OneOrient

@LofcLoza @OrientOpinion And I asked AI to design the new stadium based on fan feedback. This is what it came up with. The signage, though 🫣

@OrientOpinion Thanks I’ve responded to the survey, found in my email, these are only high level concepts, not final, but tbf to be championship sustainable, we’re going to need a bigger boat 🏟️ #lofc
