Zut Alors!

Certainly got a lot worse since covid but steadily getting worse since the 90s.

30 years ish.

Not sudden. No surprise factor involved.

Just an excuse

 

[Mottie]

There is no instant reverse

Do you think they’ll say that in their election pledges?

I think you are criticising them exactly because they won't say they will cure things immediately. So they are in effect actually saying its not an instant reverse

I'm still waiting for John Prescott's Intergrated Transport Policy.

No, if they were honest they should say it’s going to take some time and they should say that BEFORE people vote for them, not wait until afterwards and if they got in power, start trotting out the excuses.

You're new to politics I guess

 

[Brigadier]

But it's our responsibility

We can all take responsibility for our life choices

Ultimately yes, but our

government.

can assist, through the provision of free / affordable-for-all, and accessible recreation facilities.



I swim, and used to do in indoor pools (now, lakes).

The government, health professionals, even the governing body all profess the health benefits of swimming, yet try getting reasonable access to pool time for exercise.
It's expensive, if you can get in at all.

Watching some of the GB swimming over the weekend, the obstacles that they have to overcome to be as good as they are - let alone world-beating - are ridiculous.
If they were chinese, 'murcan, australian, hungarian even, the rest of the world wouldn't even come close.

I don't know if the stat still stands but, only ten or so years ago, Paris alone had more Olympic-sized swimming pools than did the entire UK.

Or, state then renege: the Tory way

 

[Brigadier]

Why should you care?
You'll vote Tory or nothing, regardless of what anyone says

 

[Mottie]

Well you obviously don’t know me as well S you think you do.

What option did I miss?

Token non-Tory vote in a safe seat, so you get what you wanted anyway but can claim the moral high ground?

It’s printed through Mottie like a stick of rock

I suppose Mottie could vote reform….but that’s just Tory with some evil added

 

[Brigadier]

I suppose Mottie could vote reform

Senility it is, then

Providing good quality exercise facilities seems to be a priority over there. Even quite small villages have their own pool.

Providing a decent quality of life seems to be something that is also prioritised over the Channel.

Dordogne for me, if I can afford it over the next few years
