Have we really got to be Furious again, it’s just the paper boy crying wolf? 🙄
The Mail assault has well and truly begun - maybe just let a guy move back to be near his Dad with cancer

Uk pensions are circa £9.6k for the old system and £12.5k on the new one, the living wage is £24.7k, so now it’s clear how overpaid we all are.
The biggest government payout should be to those who have contributed their sufficient NI payments to qualify.
But your graphs also prove all the other aspects are getting larger also.
So lets stop that shall we.
Would be a good start before going after the contributors.

You’re very close to it, but I have heard that it is a spoonerism for the hogs nose in, for which there is anecdotal evidence of its presence in this particular mutation.
Interesting idea… So you’re saying Tice equates to a Higgs Boson - extremely unstable and prone to tantrums almost immediately. 🤣

The number of reservoirs that have been sold is 35. mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/wa…
Since privatisation, water companies sold off 25 reservoirs without building a single major one.
Now they want bill payers to fund a few new projects. Too little, too late.
Privatised greed is putting us at risk during a climate emergency. To build resilience, we need public ownership.

Ironic really, Blair introduced the Minimum Wage in 1999, the rest is a complete antithesis of what he used to practice.
Tony Blair thinks he is still UK PM.
Tells Starmer/Labour to go deeper into neoliberalism, move closer to Trump.
Opposes the last increase in minimum wage, workers rights, net-zero.
Demands more deregulation, hike in VAT, cuts in govt spending.

All naturally occurring wild birds in Great Britain are protected from persecution by the WACA 1981. It is illegal to kill, injure or ‘take’ any wild bird, take or damage the nest of any wild bird whilst in use or being built. ukwildlife.com/index.php/wil…

He only backed Corbyn because he thought he would lose independent.co.uk/news/uk/po… So can we trust him now?
Do you remember saying this, @Keir_Starmer? We do.
And we think if you make a leadership pledge, you should stick to it.
Privatisation has failed. Public ownership is popular with voters across the political spectrum.
You could do with some popularity right now, don't you think?

ALT Infographic showing Prime Minister Keir Starmer standing behind a lectern. To the left is a quote from his leadership pledge to party members in October 2020; "Public Services should be in public hands, not making profits for shareholders. Support common ownership of rail, mail, energy and water; end outsourcing of our NHS."

Wackford Squiers fromNicholas Nickleby, notorious for starving, exploiting, and physically abusing the unwanted children placed under his care, running the school as a place of misery and neglect. His brutality and greed make him one of Dickens’s arch villains.
Honestly a really ugly man on the inside-like something out of a Victorian novel-or an evil Dickens Charater

I’m fairly certain that christians values are to live with compassion, integrity, humility, forgiveness, faith, and justice, fostering kindness, honesty, generosity, and respect for all people as made in God's image. 🙋♂️
