Truss: cunning policy to save us all… ‘Let them eat cake’?
The billionaires’ pin up puppet crows again…Tax cuts for a mega rich, bigger bonuses for wealthy bankers, etc.
The ‘richest donate to the Party so we will look after them’ is the thinly veiled clarion call to the Party Faithful! The elite’s darling ‘Queen of U-turns’ is no friend to the ordinary subject (not citizen) in the street. And yes, Another inept PM who surrounds herself with grovelling sycophants. Interesting times ahead for sure!
Truss’s policies seem to align so well with the followi...

A ‘FREE COUNTRY’ – really? Nar – get on your knees and stay there!

TRUSS ENERGY PACKAGE FAILS OLDER PEOPLE (BRIEFING 42/22)
The Prime Minister’s energy statement today offered no extra help for struggling state pensioner households and indeed there was no direct mention of older people at all.
Silver Voices made the following immediate statement to the national media:“Fixing the energy cap £500 above its current level, without increasing the basic income of millions of state pensioners, is embedding a permanent cut in living standards and will not prevent a co...

Chasing Silver on the Old Canal
A few pleasant hours alone on Lancashire's Leeds and Liverpool Canal produced ten fish.
Sadly, no record breakers yet I am always happy when out there in the wilds using my old Spanish Reed rod, Bakelite centrepin and homemade floats.
Many anglers that I meet are often stuck on catching huge carp or pike. As for me, I just love wandering along with the old gear watching my float bob about and size never really matters. It's all just about 'being there' really.
Roach, bream and hybrids were taking...

Canal stroll that turned into a rescue mission
A pleasant nature ramble at Downholland Cross along the canal towpath today took an unexpected turn.
Four of us were minding our own business rambling along when Jasmine and Jessica, who were several yards ahead of us, came over with tales of a 'body' on the towpath.
I went ahead and discovered an elderly lady lying down who at first seemed unconscious.
Cath offered her a drink of water as the ongoing heatwave had obviously taken its toll and got the better of her. She was confused and making li...
