Default Potholes...

I have definitely seen more and more broken tops of suspension springs lying by the kerbside of a few of my local roads. The holes are bloody craters up this way, so much so, you become very aware of them and its automatic that you tend to drive over a certain stretch of these pitted roads to avoid the canyons! Some short sighted drivers are not so lucky..
Allegedly the govt reckons they are spunking the HS2 project money at this enormous & continual problem. More BS from the Tories?
ANY of you struggling with holy roads ?

There is no money to fix them, the Tories have been beyond fiscally incompetent. It's littered here. I imagine Bev's, being heavy twats, will suffer worst too.

My old BM had a spring break like that, it hit my tyre and killed that too

Meanwhile immigration is 1m new islamists.. brilliant so even the thing you expect they didn't get a handle on at all

Twatville gov

Very bad in Oxfordshire. We don't use local roads in winter - they're full of deep holes that are filled with water. Drive through one of them at 10 mph and you have a wrecked tyre, any faster and more damage.

Meanwhile, immigration as Jason brought up. The Swedish labour party thought it would be a good idea to import large numbers of people from the global south - mainly middle east as it turned out. You ask yourself why? With the hope they would vote labour of course. How did it go? Not very well at all, Sweden has a legal and government system developed over centuries which is heavily dependant on that the population does the right thing. So what happens if you bring in a lot of people from countries with clan based societies and very low trust in the state? A massive crime wave that Sweden is not capable of stopping. Coupled with crime gang turf wars where they shoot at each other and where they bomb competitor's homes. With innocents in the way.

Sounds like Bradford or Manc to me

Woke love a bit of integration chatter, that tiktok girl saying she thought Hamas would 'comfort' her... Crap like that.

They would behead her at best.

I have no issues with Europeans coming here, we are culturally largely equivalent / similar and we can learn from eachother.

I'd probably say this about most Western democracies but I prefer non theists.

Obviously not just to fill a gap for Tory farmers wanting cheap labour from Poland, that is exploitation imo.

But animals from the middle east, north Africa.. no thank you. If you want Sharia law go to a country where it is wanted. Not Europe.

I think Gas was correct in this, the rise of the right to compensate.. you see it in the Netherlands already. It's a reaction to an aggressive, violent, oppressive religion of hate.

Even on the more spirited runs that I attended last month with the s2kuk club through the Trough of Bowland... Beautiful scenery wrecked by pot hole dodging in the hills on the B road blast. Grrr....
Wigan is now twinned with multiple towns from the middle Asian / Syrian / Afghan or wherever... Often noted as a previous white ghetto of the north. It's become like London now. It needed to change I guess - Farage's words on I'm a Celeb "too many here".
Pie sales are failing... Deliveroo meanwhile is booming .. delivered by .. you guessed it. Someone with little or no English.
I do wonder if any of these delivery set up companies that are profiting from the influx, have checked if these people are even eligible to live here. It's a different landscape , Sunak has lost the plot.
We all vote in a year...

As a punter you take a step back

1. Taxation is at an all time high
2. Gov debt is massive
3. Roads are ****ed
4. NHS is ****ed
5. Gov has a plan to spend £100k a head exporting illegals

This wasn't what Boris promised

Makes you wonder why Sunak snubbed the Greek PM yesterday (to do with Greek artefacts in a museum!) ..really it's possibly because he didn't want anymore brown paper envelopes from Greece to eradicate their migrant woes...
The West has become one, giant pothole! And we all live in it

You see stuff like Charlie Hebdo, 9/11, 7/7, Oct 7 and you come to realise Muslims are better off in Syria, Afghanistan etc

Not trying to change the west to suit them, it will never be suited to them

The right will rise if governments fail to act

It is so clearly a violent religion

Our local council (Nottm city) went bust recently due to some communist energy venture (generated zero energy btw)

So central gov, right purse strings over that? Yes.

So tight there are no cops and potholes? No
