Maybe it's just me getting old, but no, I don't want to have to download your app onto my phone simply to show you a ticket I paid for. Email works perfectly fine.

I think what I'm least looking forward to from a UK perspective is liberal talking heads congratulating themselves that "at least we're not heading that way over here" when any clear-eyed analysis of the last election result will demonstrate that's *exactly* the path we are on.
At a certain point people have enough money to live off the interest paid on the interest paid on their capital. Once that happens they live, and get richer, while doing effectively nothing. Without a tax on generational wealth enough people would end up in that category
Inheritance tax has got to be the most retarded of all taxes. You have to pay the government money for the privilege of inheriting something that's already yours, and has already been taxed before it even got to you. Why?

I think the detail of this actually shows someone who puts his family first and doesn’t necessary reflect the headline.
Problem will be is if anyone actually reads past it.

Can't stress enough that saying "we've introduced a 4 day working week" while under the hood it's "Get all your work done in 4 days and you can have the 5th off, so we ramp the stress UP not DOWN" is one of the stupidest things I've heard this week.

Can't stress enough that if a household needed a 60% discount on water or the family would die of thirst Thames water would probably give minus fucks. Let them capitulate, then buy them with taxpayer money, and own the bastard thing.
The only people who should be allowed to poll in shite like this are those that aren't in fact retired, and hence bank holidays are worse for them because it's everybody off, rather than just them. Grumpy old bastards
Should there be a bank holiday if England win Euro 2024?

If I'd been at the Killers when England made it through to the final and Mr Brightside started playing I honestly think I'd have transcended time and space and become purely hypothetical

The data shows that despite this monster win, Labour have less of the vote than Jeremy Corbyn received in 2017. That is huge.
The message of this election is anti-tory, not pro Starmer.
Honestly I had an almight rant of the day reminding everyone of every fucking corrupt thing these monsters have done while in power. Barely seems worth it because we seem in one situation united on "get the fuckers out". Outstanding

Just Stop Oil should protest climate change by pouring human sewage into rivers and lakes and coastal waters on a daily basis, maybe then it will be denounced and criminalised.
