Levelling up

[SydneyRover]

but nothing at all to do with the numbers of food banks, which begs the question how good are you as a reliable witness?

Oops

''BARNSLEY town centre's first food bank is set to open its doors to people in crisis.

The bank will be distributing food every Thursday from 11am to 1pm at Gateway Church, Mottram Hall, on Mottram Street.

People using the service need a voucher available from Barnsley Citizens' Advice Bureau, Berneslai Homes, Barnsley Council's Connexions service or the council's Homeless Prevention Service''

My dear Sydney if a town's economy is strong it doesn't see a growth in charity shops , second hand markets , budget supermarkets , Poundshops and race to the bottom jobs .

All of which opened by the week during the Blair and Brown years .

Poverty isn't totally defined by food banks and poverty didn't begin in Barnsley in 2013 .

It's always existed and didn't stop during the years 1997 to 2010 .

''One of the earliest known charity shops in the United Kingdom was set up by the Wolverhampton Society for the Blind (now called the Beacon Centre for the Blind) in 1899 to sell goods made by blind people to raise money for the Society''

The Secretary for Levelling Up.

Given Goves’s past dabbling with coke, wouldn’t a more apt title for him be The Secretary for Lining Up?

[SydneyRover]

''The United Kingdom is an unparalleled success story – a multi-cultural,
multi-national, multi-ethnic state with the world’s best broadcaster; a vibrantly
creative arts sector; a National Health Service which guarantees care for every
citizen; charities and voluntary groups which perform a million acts of kindness
daily; globally renowned scientists extending the boundaries of knowledge
every year; entrepreneurs developing the products and services which bring joy
and jobs to so many; and millions of citizens whose kindness and compassion
has been so powerfully displayed during the COVID-19 pandemic.''

please don't forget us on thursday

Hard to understand why some people wouldn’t want to live here.

[Glyn_Wigley]

What does levelling up mean to you?

The depth of the shit we're in.

[SydneyRover]

That is the opening paragraph to the executive summary of the Levelling Up white paper.

The tory party championing all the bits they are trying to destroy.

''a multi-cultural, multi-national, multi-ethnic state''

If it's so good why the culture wars, Windrush and brexit?

''the world’s best broadcaster''

Then why are you breaking it up and selling it off?

a National Health Service which guarantees care for every citizen.

If you live long enough! If it's so good why has it been starved of funding for most of the time since 2010 well short staffed and waiting lists the length of the country?

This contemporary Medici model, our twenty-frst century recipe for a new
Industrial Revolution, depends on harnessing an array of interventions and
catalysing a range of sectors. Levelling up will require us to:

a. boost productivity, pay, jobs and living standards by growing the private
sector, especially in those places where they are lagging;

b. spread opportunities and improve public services, especially in those places
where they are weakest;

c. restore a sense of community, local pride and belonging, especially in those
places where they have been lost; and

d. empower local leaders and communities, especially in those places lacking
local agency

To the casual observer the last 12 years or so may look like we have been trying to wreck the joint, but that's just our way of tearing it down so we can rebuild it in our image.

Remember, if you want us to complete what we started be sure to get out and vote on Thursday.

It’s England RD.

You would enjoy life more if you hadn’t had your sense of humour bypass.
I feel so sorry for you.

[i_ateallthepies]

Nowt wrong with my sense of humour, Hound.  It's just your idea of humour that doesn't cut it.

We are blessed with a temperate climate in the uk.
We get a bit of everything granted. Sometimes when it’s not welcome.
I’ve just spent the weekend in North Norfolk.
Glorious spring weather. So much so I got burnt whilst out walking.
Fields full of flowering rape seed.
Big blue skies.
Light sea breezes.

The press will be moaning at the end of the month it’s been too dry.

Sunny and warm with no rain in Bentley yesterday. I was expecting a hosepipe ban today.

Maybe not to you but having read some of your trolling of my posts I can understand why you don’t find many things funny.
You are one very serious boy.
Plenty of other posters understand.
Anyway, we are all different aren’t we.

[Bentley Bullet]

Don't worry Hound, he seems to diss-pies my material too!

I read in the Guardian there was some grilled moggy on the menu in Andrew Neil's new talk show where the cost of living got a guernsey.

[ravenrover]

Did anyone watch Neil v Smogg? We are away with no tv

[SydneyRover]

I watched a clip of it on youtube Raven

the Queen refuses to compromise herself and shoves the right-charlie out with a pointed stick

''In a move to reinstate measures thrown out by the House of Lords in January, the government will announce new offences to stop protesters from “locking on” to infrastructure, extend stop and search powers, and make it illegal to obstruct transport projects''

Does this mean they will hand themselves in to the nearest copshop over HS2?
