Due to a change in personal circumstances, I shall no longer have time for Scooploop. Please PM me if you are interested. I'll choose based on the member's record.

I'll cancel the new loop, which wouldn't have been possible in the near future anyway, as my contact is no longer doing work for Scooploop.

`Clarkson claimed today that he only wrote about buying a farm for tax reasons (see 11.20am) because he did not want to admit the real reason.
Asked about the past comment, he told PA Media:
"That’s actually quite funny because the real reason I bought the farm was because I wanted to shoot, so I thought if I told a bunch of people that I bought a farm so I could shoot pheasants it might look bad.🤣
So, I thought I better come up with another excuse, so I said inheritance tax. I actually didn’t know about inheritance tax until after I bought it. I didn’t mind, obviously, but the real reason I bought it is because I wanted to shoot."`
Farge and Clarkson have become self-styled spokesmen for the Farms and Inheritance tax issue.🤣
Not that I don`t have any concerns about the issue,I do, but they are the last people they want for their spokesmen-they are neither of them (real) Farmers!

I give you the U.K. honours system.

This item on Channel 4 News last night really moved me.

Some members seem intent on causing trouble and spreading false information. I attach a post by @Danni sent to me by a member of the No Nonsense Loop. I can assure you that Braveheart is not me. If it had been, I can assure you that I would not have put the time and effort that he did into his interesting posts. You have caused a new member (rare these days) to no longer post. I suggest some of you get a life other than your pathetic time consuming troublemaking one on Scooploop.

I can't believe how nasty and ungrateful some members have been. No one has responded to Braveheart, and I would not be surprised if he does not post again. If the occasion arises, please make it known below that you are willing to be a moderator.

I’ve upset a few people by my posting of messages I received from someone I’ve had no contact with and who made outrageous claims. I’d ask the people who have now left this group, what would they have done under the circumstances? Accept the message and soldier on? It’s no use suggesting contacting Scooploop as I’ve tried that regarding another issue. Any correspondence with them is ignored!
What I would say is this; The person sending these messages is trying to disrupt Scooploop, and in this case has been successful to a certain extent by people leaving this group! I’d like to think they’d ponder on that.
As a footnote, I noticed that Brianie felt the need to inform one of the members that left that I was indeed a ‘genuine member’. I think perhaps they must have sent a direct message to him making silly claims! I stated in my original post on this matter that I was bemused. Well, I can say now that I’m totally shocked at this outcome.

Laura Kuenssberg has ‘mistakenly’ sent Boris Johnson her briefing notes ahead of an interview that was supposed to take part tonight on BBC1. The briefing notes were meant for her team. I find it highly suspicious that she could send briefing notes to the wrong recipient. The BBC have cancelled the interview.

Hi John/Charles M/ Trevor B/ Michael Caine / Brianie, you spend so much time pontificating on how you can spot aliases a mile off, forgetting that we can as well. Old Braveheart has been accepted rather quickly and bedded himself into your politics group, thus giving it a bit of traffic. Do you think we’re actually that stupid? And making a power play for the Anything group, which is about the only one you don’t moderate….Here’s something you might be interested in…..one of many email communications between Sterling Jackson and me, where we discuss the dark goings on on kahuti. I was part of a small team working with Sterling to try and root out you and the other crazy malicious aliases who were destroying the site. Bet you didn’t know we were talking actively to Sterling. Here is one of the exchanges…I’ve got a load more, and one is specifically about you…Enjoy..

Oh look, here’s one about you and your bloody stupid mayhem you caused, because you were making lists of everyone. If you remember, we all took the piss and made up the most ridiculous IDs. Hilarious…..

Maybe I should change my handle to JohnH, seeing as you’ve got mine. For someone so bloody righteous, you seem to be unaware that pinching people should personal information is a very nasty thing to do……Good day….

I watched the vice presidential debate live in the early hours this morning. In my opinion it was mainly a disappointing non event. However, it was somewhat more enlightening in a small way than the Trump V Harris debate.
Vance, questioned on the January 6th 2020 riots, sidestepped the question with ramblings. No surprise there. On the whole? I wish I hadn’t bothered.

regarding the acceptance of donations, some may find this news item relevant and interesting.

This £300 Winter Fuel Payment is just a one off payment isn't it? It's not a monthly top up.
So I think all the furore is being whipped up the the right wing media. The claims that not getting the payment will cause thousands to die can't be proven. Those pensioners may have died from old age anyway.
They can easily find the £300 in other ways. Go on one less Saga holiday. Stop buying scratchcards.

Hi everyone,....I have mentioned before on here that we lived in the States for 20 years and have USA Citizenship, Consequently we can vote for the presidential election. So, who do you think we should vote for (Trump or Harris) and WHY, ? also who do you think we should not vote for and WHY ?

Appreciate your thoughts and comments

Has seen the light and has stated today that she has left the Conservative Party stating they have moved too far to the right.
Former Tory chair Baroness Sayeeda Warsi has quit the Conservatives in a furious row just as the party is preparing to gather for a crucial conference on its future in Birmingham.
The Muslim peer was brought in as chair by David Cameron in 2010 to help detoxify the party’s brand and bring it into the 21st century.
But since leaving government in 2014 Warsi has had a difficult relationship with the Tory leadership consistently calling out racism and islamophobia in the Conservative Party. She has said that she is fed up of the party trying to gag her.
