The Thompson Brothers

Syria
No. We’re with the Labour man on this one. The fact of the matter is, if the pilots have to eject they face an awful death. More importantly, it’s nothing to do with us. The Americans have been bombing everywhere for years and look where it’s got them.

Derby Road
They’ve reduced one of the main roads in and out of the city from three lanes to two and created one gigantic traffic jam right down to the bottom of Maid Marian Way. It’s gridlock every night. What’s the point of doubling the size of pavements that nobody walks on? The powers that be should be made accountable. And shot.

Christmas
It doesn’t matter what religion you are, Abraham was the father of the lot of them. So let’s have a new beginning for all the people of the world and celebrate the birth of the Lord. We also sell Christmas trees in the shop…

The Tram
It goes past the third floor of the QMC! Whose idea was that? When you come out of the operating theatre in a docile condition and that thirty-tonne thing goes rumbling past, the shock will probably finish you off.

We have a favour to ask

LeftLion is Nottingham’s meeting point for information about what’s going on in our city, from the established organisations to the grassroots. We want to keep what we do free to all to access, but increasingly we are relying on revenue from our readers to continue. Can you spare a few quid each month to support us?
