Last night I was chatting to a Dutch couple who were moaning about their fuel prices. Just looked and they are a bit steep. Lucky it's still €1.40 here

India leads were others should follow. I always hated it in UK when they added service charge on the quiet. I never paid it.

Good, it is a scam. Stop adding 15% to a bill and put the correct prices on the menus, then a tip is optional for good service.

It's like the last days of Rome. Can we just have a revolution? (Preferably one I can just show my support for by hyperlinky clicking from the sofa).

Do you think he can be forced to resign - like May after not having to go at the vote of no confidence?

I don't usually get involved in political discussion, but had a thought.

Any more ministers who resign will be seen to have some integrity.
Them who fight hardest to defend Johnson will be seen as just as bad as him. Complicit even.

If a new team is brought in, it'll probably be made up those who seem to have some integrity.

Maybe.
