Something nasty in the woodshed
I'm a cyclepath now too?

Well, you do seem to be pretty sure that anyone who objects to, or feels upset by bad things that happen to other people, is just faking it. That it can only be performative 'virtue signalling' if it doesn't affect them personally.

That's an interesting reaction, but probably neither normal or healthy.

Depends if said people do anything worthwhile to help, I mean, we can all go around shouting from the rooftops how bad things are but then go home to a nice warm, paid for home with a packed fridge and barely a financial care in the world. It means nothing to me whatsoever.

If by whining you mean asking why most of you seem to dislike everything about the country then guilty as charged, you just seem to highlight snippets from posts I make rather than answer anything I ask.

As said you're like one of those little leg shagging dogs that latch on to you.

I'd bet your strong cycling calves would turn any dog weak with lust.

Congratulations on finally agreeing you are a serial whiner. The first step to curing any addiction is admitting you are an addict.

And why not, what do you like then?

The one laughing lives on a farm!🤪

But she also lives in 'the real world'..

Not some fantasy 'cricket on the green, maidens in flowery frocks' fantasy rustic land, that never was...

I open the bowling for our village cricket team, and mostly the maidens do the scoring and the teas, although we have a maiden who is also a great slip and bats number 4.

I have played village cricket for about 35 years, why is it now a fantasy?

Most of the local villages and towns around here have cricket teams..
And fetes - of varying quality
No problem with that...
I never denied they existed

My problem is with the ridiculous rural fantasies around 'how lovely it all is out in the countryside'.

The fantasy of brexit was partly built on an idea of an' 'Old England' that never was .

There are just as many problems with homelessness, low income families struggling and all sorts of other issues..
Racism, abuse and so on.

All that is getting worse since brexit with depressed farm incomes, labour shortages in key areas such as agriculture health and care work, businesses failing

Depressed incomes, higher prices all round .

These have all been caused in part or whole by Tory policies, including brexit.

all those things were happening way before brexit.......and way before the 2016 vote on leaving the EU.

But depressed farm incomes?? that must be a joke surely...........i know a farmer that bought a hotel block in bulgaria and the plot of land next to it, to extend, so depressed was his income - sheeesh
