@NineLiner_ @fesshole What makes you think it is affordable housing? Expensive houses are also built

I'm dead against the proposed new housing development near us but the group formed in opposition to it is so full of flag-shaggers, illiterates, reactionaries and general numpties that I'm actually coming around to the idea that some new neighbours might be a good thing.

Life in general, but especially within the last decade #life #world

@BigHairyJack @clinopyroxnede @anon_opin That Tesco profit is on 63 billion in sales and the profits you listed are before tax, which becomes 1.6 billion after tax.

@clinopyroxnede @anon_opin Tesco made a profit of £3.13 billion. Sainsbury's £1.036 billion. Asda £1.14 billion.

The real disgrace in UK's welfare bill is that so much of it is spent on people in work. We are subsidising jobs that do not pay enough to live on. If we genuinely made sure work paid a decent living, then we would not have such a high bill.

@GeoffPummell @ReemAmirIbrahim Good Friday agreement happened in '98 so that's torn up. I'm sure that wouldn't cause any trouble

@ReemAmirIbrahim "A Great Repeal Act - scrap all laws since 1997" This would: -return us to the EU as laws were passed to leave it. -scrap same sex marriage and civil partnerships -legalize stalking -remove all safeguards from internet use in the UK. Care to reconsider?

If I were in No. 10, here’s what I’d do👇 — A Great Repeal Act - scrap all laws since 1997 — Abolish DCMS (~£8bn) — Scrap the triple lock + means-test pensions to <£1m wealth (~£40bn) — Withdraw funding to hundreds of quangos (~£350bn) — Repeal the Town & Country Planning Act — Abolish subsidies — Abolish minimum wage (like Sweden!) — Replace the NHS with social health insurance model (Netherlands-style) — Simplify benefits - 1 disability benefit + 1 unemployment benefit — Introduce school choice - voucher system & no catchment areas — Radical tax simplification - broader base, lower rates — Unilateral free trade - scrap all tariffs & quotas That would be a good start. (PS: don’t worry, I have zero political ambition. taxation is theft & politicians are lizards).

@ATaylorFPGA @ReemAmirIbrahim So you want to repeal woman's right to vote and restrict voting to the wealthy. What else... Clean air act so you can breathe in that smog again. Equal pay act...gone PACE .... Police can do what they like Irish independence... I'm sure that will go down well Supreme court..gone

@ReemAmirIbrahim Pretty much all laws since 1900 actually, with very limited exceptions.

@thetimes Are you taking the piss now? 'Reeves did win the under-14 title for the British Women’s Chess Association Girls Championship, along with three others. “That is not the British girls’ championship, it is clearly defined as the girl who does best in the British championship,”'

Rachel Reeves accused of overstating junior chess title #Echobox=1764751780" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">thetimes.com/uk/politics/ar…

@FourMinister @NeonLuvBar @ThamesVP The CPS have a fuller description and it still doesn't look good for the plod. cps.gov.uk/legal-guidance…

@NeonLuvBar @ThamesVP "On suspicion of" Plus Google AI isn't exactly a trustworthy source of law.

@FairyQueenOfBS @ThamesVP I know, it's completely embarrassing isn't it from the plod. I reckon almost certainly they'll be out in the morning without charge and I hope they get lawyered to sue for unlawful arrest.

@ThamesVP 'Malicious communications' You clowns 🤡

@di_gilmore @fesshole It also brought the absolute loonies out of the cupboard as well.

@fesshole I thought that Covid changed us to an electronic society 🙄

I run a shop. I didn't process a single cash transaction for 3 weeks and did under 20 for the whole year. So I decided to go electronic only as it's so much cheaper. Suddenly everyone's up in arms. Maybe if they actually used cash they could complain. But they don't.

@BeadleDarren @LeaderofKCC They'll have a problem finding them in the kids section to create the bonfire as they were never there in the first place.

@LeaderofKCC Are you going to collect them all together and have a burning in the town square?

🔥Another victory for #commonsenseinKent 🔥my brilliant cabinet member Cllr Paul Webb has just got this trans material REMOVED from the children’s sections of all Kent’s libraries. Telling children they’re in the ‘wrong body’ is wrong and simply unacceptable.

@_SilentGiraffe_ @LinPau22 @CouncillorWebb @doveyymargeauxx They are even better banning books that weren't there in the first place. The councillor lied to stir up controversy.

@gridcustomersuk No worries. Thanks for replying.

@CodingMonkey Hi Michael, I would advise to hold off for the moment if you can. Our engineers are still carrying out fault finding as there is still customers off supply. We're estimating between now and 04:30 to have all supplies restored. Apologies once again. Geraint

There is currently a #powercut in #Bristol #BS13 & surrounding areas. We are working on the issue and we estimate to have the power restored by 04:30. Geraint

@IanBaxt35846187 @anon_opin A ticket in '95 was £65 radiox.co.uk/festivals/glas…

@anon_opin Went 94,95 and 97 and paid a grand total of £15 to get in for all 3 years. £5 per year. Music scene exploding and not a care in world and the word “glamping” didn’t exist

The BBC obsession with Glastonbury is baffling, it's just an 'experience' for the middle classes, captured by corporate greed, that was last any good in 1999.

@AzureSupport what is the correct channel to report a verifiable bug in your saml2 implementation?

@afneil So your tweet contains either falsehoods or a tacit admission that you didn't call out Boris at the time. L "Hey I'm a liar" or "hey I sat back and let Boris run rampant" is not a great gateway to your article.

And you obviously haven't read what I said about BoJo's government in the article ...

@MrAndyMich @ginandfred @afneil Because you can not seriously say this is the worst government you've ever seen unless you were in an coma for the last 14 years. - Sunack, Truss, Johnson, May and Cameron have all been so much worse.

ANDREW NEIL: In 55 years of covering politics, I’ve never accused ANY government of congenitally telling untruths. But Starmer has taken lying, gaslighting and deceit to a new level mol.im/a/14743517

@wla1103 @bigfarded @theliamnissan ChatGPT is just a text generator and has no concept of the true of those statements. Did you verify those stats actually exist?

You said the right wing has “quite literally” controlled the media. I showed you for newsrooms/journalism only 3% are republicans. This has been known for years for anyone willing to listen. NPR was all over the news recently for same. Say that’s not accurate and it’s 20%. How does that translate to “quite literally” controlling? The “think for me machine” is a digital resource - tell me oh wise one how you learn these facts otherwise?

Remember folks, podcaster Tim Pool was caught accepting 400k a month from the Russian intelligence services, claimed he didn't know, and now he's on the official White House press pool

@atomlib @maxfras @IAPonomarenko What a weird "Russian" that was. They necro a 3 year post, and respond with verbal diarrhoea and then block me. How bizarre.

@atomlib @maxfras @IAPonomarenko Necroing this 3 year old post I see! This was pointed out at the time but it still doesn't excuse the other blatant nonsense in that picture though. 3 copies of the Sims, the flags. Even if you are correct and that was their intention this just a terrible fake and remains so.

A Hitler portrait, a swastika flag, a Neo-Nazi publication, some meth, and Sims 3 discs (important!) are exactly what you would take with yourself for a high-profile mission to assassinate a top-ranking war propaganda pundit in Russia. Totally makes sense.
