@David__Osland Supermarkets make very little profit said Chris Bryant on C4 News tonight. Tescoburys pay piss poor wages while shelling out to their shareholders.

Poverty is caused by billionaires in the UK the minimum wage would have to be about £30 an hour for you to be as well off in 2026 as you were in 1970.
All that is being stolen by the bilionaires.

Robert Jenrick is another CROOK
A reminder of past behaviour.
Ethics of a backstreet used car saleman this crook claimed expenses of £100k for a THIRD HOME.
I'd wager a bet anyone else claiming dodgy expenses would face full criminal proceedings.

@DannyDrinksWine A good film with one of the best endings as Bob H realises...

The release of "The Long Good Friday" (1980) was delayed due to political fears. Having been made in 1979 for £900,000 with backing from Black Lion, a subsidiary of Lew Grade’s ITC Entertainment behemoth, the film hit festivals in 1980, but was delayed when Grade and others balked.
There were concerns that the IRA might blow up cinemas that screened it, and another version was prepared with the Irish references and violence heavily excised.
Additionally, out of fear that Americans wouldn't understand Bob Hoskins' accent in "The Long Good Friday" (1980) & as they thought Brummie accent would be better, an actor from Wolverhampton had dubbed Bob Hoskins' lines in the movie. Hoskins was incandescent when he found out about it.
Hoskins and others members of the crew threatened to sue. A great list of people including Richard Burton, Alec Guinness, and Warren Beatty were ready to stand as expert witnesses. According to John Mackenzie, Grade organisation feared the bad publicity and didn't want to annoy establishment figures like Guinness. So they agreed to sell it to Handmade Films. Because of this fiasco, the released of the film was delayed well over a year.
