An artist: (1) bought an Andy Warhol drawing for $20,000 (2) made 999 high-quality forgeries of it (3) shuffled them together (4) sold each of the 1,000 drawings for $250 each "If you pay your $250 maybe youโ€™ll get the original $20,000 Warhol, but youโ€™ll never know."

It is the minimum wage, if people still need help from benefits then it can not be called a Living Wage. If it is though, you live on it!

Amazing Twitter people - can you help Ben? In 2016 the search for a #cupforben lead to the most amazing response, and this project was born as his dad Marc wanted to help other children & adults with disabilities. Now Ben and his family need your support once more. Please share x

Can you share this with as many people as possible. It is not an exaggeration to say Bens life depends on something as simple as a bottle of baby juice drink #cupforben #juiceforben

They started angry, so voted for #brexit, which is a disaster. That made them more angry. Then they wanted England to win; it didnโ€™t, so still more anger. Now they think #COVID19โ€™s over, but deep down they know it isnโ€™t, so more rage. Theyโ€™ll be livid when the climate collapses.

Victoria Atkins there. Daughter of Tory Peers Sir Robert Atkins and Lady Dulcie Atkins. Private schooled, Cambridge Educated & married to a multi millionaire Businessman. The British elitist ruling class basically telling Ms Sultana there to know her place. Tory Britain 2021.
Boris Johnson and Priti Patel gave a green light to the racism our England stars are facing. They stoked this abuse. Now they're feigning outrage. None of us are fooled.

If you think Donald Trump didn't send his halfwit thugs in to hurt Pelosi and Pence, you're in denial. Reports now say he was 'giddy with excitement' when they stormed the Capitol. He knew Pence had his family with him. He is a psychopath & must be removed.
