Where is the money? My childhood was poor, but there were libraries, swing parks, youth clubs, swimming baths, Lidos, housing, police on the street, NHS Dentists, Doctor app the same day, milk in schools, free school dinners. Fewer tax payers, & fewer taxes. Where is the money?

Tickets for Glastonbury will set you back £340 to sit in a field. You can bring your own tent, or you can hire a tipi for £1500. £7 a pint and a bag chips will cost you £8. It's now become an event for the middle-classes and the woke brigade to 'prove' that they can 'rough it.

The new trend of calling people racist because you have different opinions, beliefs, values, and ideas doesn’t wash with me. I grew up on a council estate in the 70s, with every colour and creed. We got along just fine. This new generation is toxic.

Hard to believe I once had a phone attached to the wall. When it rang, I’d pick it up without knowing who was calling. I’d leave the house and no one could get in touch with me until I came home. No cameras, no ULEZ, and you could drive and park anywhere. Those were the days!

London was founded by the Romans over 2000 years ago. It was built as a working City, with cobble streets for horses and carriages, with plenty of hustle and bustle, with real working Class people, not the poxy liberal elite cyclists who never grew up here. It’s f @cking madness!
