This is amazing. We always thought he got pi**ed on Keir Starmer’s boot polish.

At The Waterside Inn, Mountsorrel for pint no.19 of the pub tour. Fantastic.

The Elizabeth II Memorial Trolley, tops off a stunning two weeks for Charnwood Borough Council.

It’s also a first for the Famous Loughborough Shopping Trolley which has never before attempted to capture the essence of a complete monarch’s reign.

🚨 Nearly 64% of Britons ‘worried’ about paying energy bills. Renters & those aged 15-54 are more concerned, according to a survey by BEIS out today. With 29% very worried about paying for leccy bills. The risk is already there, that is exactly the reason we need collective action. 🔥 💪

Jane Hunt appears to be staying loyal to her own pointlessness… and to Johnson.

Resign as a PPS Jane Hunt MP - you should have done so long ago.

It’s back! It’s been a while but the council has come up trumps this time with Loughborough’s premier roving attraction THE FAMOUS LOUGHBOROUGH SHOPPING TROLLEY!

Not one but three! 🛒 🛒 🛒

Our art expert offers their interpretation: “This version depicts the trolleys with materials inside reminiscent of parachutes, indicating the help we all need if we fall. The fact that there are three trolleys reminds us of community.”

SEE IT WHILE IT LASTS. Remember that Loughborough is one of the only towns in the whole of Leicestershire with a roving visitor attraction. Shepshed’s 5 foot wooden parrot is a pale imitation and hasn’t been spotted for months! 🦜✖️

Event: The Grand "Stuff the Jubilee" Party (and Renaming of Queen's Park)!

How to respond to the ridiculous hype of someone being born into position, getting everything handed to her on a platinum platter and ending up living for a long time?

Time for a change. Time to be positive. Stuff the jubilee. Abolish the monarchy!

On Sunday June 5th at 5pm, gather in (the currently named) Queen's Park for fun, laughter and friendship. Meet at the bandstand.

Bring you own booze,
Bring your own views,
(Guillotines are optional).

At 6pm we will rename the park Republic Park, out of respect for the people.

End the four day holiday weekend with a glimpse into the future. The monarchy's days are surely numbered! Freedom will reign!

JANE HUNT: SILENCE OVER LAW BREAKING, AS MP FOR QUORN DECIDES WHETHER TO SUPPORT ILLEGALITY FOR ALL, OR JUST FOR HER BOSS.

Jane Hunt, the MP for Quorn, has been very quiet over the last few days regarding the fine Boris Johnson has been handed by the Metropolitan Police.

We will keep monitoring the situation and update tourists as soon as we can.

At this stage we cannot be sure that we have all been given the green light for criminal behaviour. It could be possible that she is deciding whether criminality is only ok for her boss or whether we can all get involved. In this scenario it is important to be careful what you do. We do not encourage law breaking until Jane says it’s ok.

Hopefully Jane Hunt MP will provide guidance shortly on which laws we can break and still receive her full support.

Come on Jane, don’t keep us in suspense!

COUNCIL AXES FAMOUS LOUGHBOROUGH SHOPPING TROLLEY DESPITE HOARDING EQUIPMENT

What to do with the kids during Easter holidays used to be an easy decision. The Famous Loughborough Shopping Trolley has been a staple feature of the start of the tourist season in the town for decades.

But no more! Charnwood Borough Council has opted not to provide the Trolley this easter despite having an astonishing level of equipment for such a feature at a secret location, ending a tradition many of us were brought up on.

A Council insider very kindly sent us pictures proving the hypocrisy. They show a cascade of twisted metal, symbolising the distorted intelligence of our elected officials and their long suffering bureaucrats.

Families deserve better. Our young people deserve quality attractions. Our Trolley deserves to be seen.

Of course, we will be accepting any nominations we receive with good grace. We look forward to the awards ceremony and hope the council has a big enough drinks budget. Nobody has done more than us to promote the shopping trolley, surely. We deserve an award just for that. https://www.charnwood.gov.uk/pages/heroes

Good effort.

Yesterday, our FA Vase run came to a painful end on the south coast, but it’s important to remember the highlights of this historic run.

2 shootout wins, an over 1000 crowd at home, and just 90 minutes from being the first uni team to play in a Wembley final since 1880.

Cannot take that away from this group. You best believe we’ll be back next year trying to 💜
