Who are these cheeky f*ckers on my tellybox right now?

Oh, it’s a Conservatives Party election broadcast, blaming non Tory authorities for running everything into the ground

Strange really, seeing as the Tories have spent the last 14 years running everything into the ground…

The lesser spotted Elwick in his natural habitat

It’s a given that one will get papped every now and then whilst out and about, and I don’t mind. Memories are made of this

There’s about 10 years between these photos of me with 144009 leaving Crowle, and 66554 passing Mexborough

Azumas might be fast, but 144s had Warp Speed! 🚀

Doncaster, 1985

47302 has just landed with 4N61, the Stratford FLT to Follingsby FLT. The incoming driver wanders off into the fog, to the messroom to make brew and have kip. The relieving driver preps his cab for the trip to Newcastle

The Sword and Dagger in St Katherines Lane. This 17th century farthing token was issued by the landlord of the Sword and Dagger. There are three initials on it, so we know he was married, his name began with 'I', his wife's name with 'A' and their surname started with 'C'

Can the last Tory to leave CCHQ please turn off the lights. They’ll not be needed for a very long time… bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politi…

Cleethorpes, 2018

An April morning in Cleethorpes 6 years ago, Dog Box 153307 was my chariot for the empties to Scunthorpe then the stopper to Sheffield

I preferred driving these over the 150, but they failed more often due to only have one engine and gearbox

Just inspecting the manor…

Except it isn’t

The average wage in my part of the country is less than £27,000 pa. For the working class it’s even less than that

Make sure you thank the PM for your extra £10, if that, before you hand it over to the gas and electric company…

I wonder what Chris Philp is going to do once he’s been kicked out of parliament..?

Thing is with the Tories, they are so absolutely lost, so totally rudderless, so bereft of vision and direction, that everything they do that they think will save them actually destroys them a little bit more. We are witness to a political party suicide
