1 Sinful Owner

Watching The Reckoning reminded me of this tale from the motor trade when, in July 2012, a dealer bought Savile's Corniche for £130k (some £40k over book), intending to hire it out for weddings and children's parties. By October, the value of the car had plummeted, and it was as welcome at a children's party, as Ji.. Well...you know the rest. https://www.itv.com/news/calendar/update/2012-07-18/sir-jimmys-rolls-royce-goes-under-the-hammer/ https://news.sky.com/story/ buyer-of-jimmy-saviles-rolls-royce-gutted-10467440

Street Vomit Calendar Competition!

I’ve got enough street vomit images to make the 2024 calendar. If anyone has any more, or if you see some whilst you’re out and about this weekend, send them in to be entered into a competition to win a signed copy of the 2024 Street Vomit calendar.  If I use your pic, you’ll get a picture credit. Submission deadline: Monday 9th October 23. Hope that helps.  

Partygate - be angry. Be very angry.

A dramatisation (backed up with evidence and witness statements from the Gray Report) of the events which took place at Downing Street during lockdown, featuring interviews with relatives of people who died alone; those who were fined (an average of £6k) for non-compliance; and healthcare professionals who sacrificed everything because they wanted to do the right thing. All the while, Downing Street staff were blatantly flouting the rules which they had been instrumental in creating. Their punishment? Johnson and Sunak were fined £50 each.   Absolutely sickening. We should be angry. The current chaotic administration, and all of its many previous iterations have taken the piss out of all of us for too long. They continue to do so. The current PM makes decisions based on how it will play with the electorate, and what serves him and his acolytes rather than what serves the country.  A PM who won’t “speculate” on decisions that HE is making.
