I used No-Flies a couple of years ago. They were great. Loads of recommendations on here. -

By Vladi's argument no-one in Britain should ever complain about anything at all because there are always other people suffering more than we are somewhere in the world. Perhaps its just me, but when I waited 12 hours in Kings A and E with a heart attack the thought that I'm lucky to have an NHS wasn't much comfort at 3.00am in a hard plastic chair. Sorry, Vladi, try to remember your argument next time your train's cancelled or you wait 12 hours in A and E. Sometimes complaint is the only way to effect change. -
That because I work in transport. As I work in transport I know quite a lot about it. Not everything. But a lot. And I know people who can also tell me what is going on. And I have this massive resource of information at my finger tips. Called the internet. So I try to base my views on real information rather than perception. Rather than what somebody told me down the pub, or on X, or on Nextdoor.com, or someone interviewed in the street by the BBC, or the Daily Mail, or UnHerd.com, or a Jeremy Vine programme. I can't comment on LBC and only once spent five minutes on GB news. And I don't automatically believe everything in the Guardian, Radio 4 comedy, Have I Got News for You or Led by Donkeys even if the politics often aligns with mine It's just lazy to go straight to the stereo types about national and local government, and insulting to label most public and civil servants viewing them as biased, incompetent or ignorant (and the 'I know better'). And with the opportunity to ask questions through the official channels why so many instantaneously resort to social media rather than trying probing themselves.
