Re: The Politics Thread
It cost me £30 in a black cab home from Manny the week before last, and then he was whinging that I'd got him to take me to my door when he reckoned that he'd given me that price based on him dropping me off at the station in town. nice person!

Re: The Politics Thread
I got an Uber back from Manchester a few weeks back. I can't remember what it cost, and he was at a loss as to what to do at the Kearsley roundabout with it being closed (as was I) but he did let be play hip hop very loudly on my phone via bluetooth.

Never in the field of human transport was so much owed by so many to so few.
Professional glass half empty merchants, what a miserable bunch of c*nts.
When working at Heathrow I went into London one evening and returned on a late tube to the Terminal 4 tube station. Caught a black cab for my 3 mile journey to my hotel and exited £20 the lighter. Apparently there was an after midnight and a solo passenger supplement plus an "it's a day with a 'y' in it" additional cost to add to the "you sound Northern" charge.
The sooner Uber come in & make them get real the better.
Oh .... & "the Knowledge". Get a fckg sat-nav.

Re: The Politics Thread
I'm still chuckling at the thought of some tedious cabbie banging on to Prufrock about how he's acquired 'the knowledge' "Man and boy, mate. Man and bleedin' boy" and Prufrock felling him in a single swoop.

Another Corbynista with short term amnesia!
Apparently he's never seen it!John McDonnell is at the centre of a row about whether he endorsed a statement before the election advocating doing away with MI5, special police forces and armed officers.

^^ His spokesman said he thought it was 'aims and values'.
The document has 'list of demands' at the top in bold.
Early onset Alzheimers ? Poor thing.

The tories are fiddling about with a new electoral register - it'll be used to design new electoral boundaries...

Re: The Politics Thread
I have to say, that given the press that Corbyn has had, this very much surprises me! (Ipsos MORI)
long way to go!
Voters are happier with Jeremy Corbyn's leadership than they are with David Cameron's recent record, the latest polling evidence reveals.
The Labour leader has the highest net satisfaction ratings of all the main party leaders in the latest Ipsos Mori poll, and even Liberal Democrat leader Tim Farron and Ukip leader Nigel Farage have better net ratings than the Prime Minister.
Read more
However, all the leaders receive negative ratings overall, with Mr Corbyn on -3, Mr Cameron on -15 and Mr Farron on -14.
Mr Corbyn was the only one of all the four party leaders not to see a fall in his leadership satisfaction ratings over the last month.
long way to go!

Did the shadow chancellor just quote Chairman Mao and throw the little red book across the dispatch box?
