    I’ll never forgive/forget what he did to those murals at an asylum centre. What sort of human being does something like that?

    A typical Tory!

    Especially if one happens to belong to the right society!
    Although I don’t suppose Mone is a member you can bet her other half is!

    Incredibly stupid and it’s lost them a lot of votes. Although the boomers are obviously not as numerous as they were, they still have significant impact on elections.

    Is the country really in such a parlous state that it needs saving by anybody? I don’t see any barefooted ragged arse kids round my way, plenty of £25 000 plus cars though.

    Unfortunately I’m finding that the man in the street, or rather the pub, is believing the bile that Farage is spreading.
    These same people would moan loud and clear if their kebabs, pizza etc. were not delivered on time. I wonder if they realise who is delivering them?

    Have never been and probably never will now.
    My betting interest is more in the lower class races now.

    The ignorance about history of many people in my local pub is amazing, even among those approaching my age.
    Most of them have heard of Hitler but not how he rose to power, and very few of them have any idea about Mussolini, Franco or Tito. Marx, Lenin, Stalin etc. they seem to think were fictional characters if they have heard of them at all.

    Do you think that Never Sweat Nigel will make the trains run on time?

    Most of my bets are in the lower class races, so I did miss it slightly.

    As I have now been referred for palliative care, I’m not sure that I care any more, but I would like to see someone wipe the smile off Farage’s face.

    They haven’t given up with my treatment but the chemo that they were using only works for a limited time, depending on age, fitness etc.
    They are hoping to enrol me on another clinical trial with drugs that have a 30 to 50% success rate.

    To be honest never really understood the purpose of them.

    I have nothing to do with either of them. Their remit of team rivalry must mean tactics come into play which is contrary to the rules of racing.
    It’s bad enough trying to avoid non triers at any other time!

    Health problems have stopped me from getting to any race courses for a couple of years now but may try to get to Newmarket soon.
