@andrew_anon_ @AlexYablon They're single family homes, why would they need to be five storeys?

@AlexYablon Now imagine if they had stacked them on top of each other, up to four or five stories even

i think these buildings are great! the problem, as ever, is the trees are all saplings which makes the streetscape feel exposed.

It's time, Radio 2.

@Urban__Designer Land is being promoted up to the M25 / M11 interchange for over 3000 homes in total. eppingforestdc.gov.uk/app/uploads/20…

How have we got to a situation where the building around stations means that should only be 150 homes here and still be objected to. It's an embarrassment. The whole of this side of the tracks should be effectively be a new town which is much denser and taller than the other side

Instead of the modest proposal of 150 houses, they could double the village's population by approving a near-exact replication of the village on the right side of the line.

@CoachDanGo This guy is obviously in the pocket of big psyllium husk

I max dosed psyllium husk for 21 days and it changed everything. I wanted to know what would happen if I took 2 tablespoons of psyllium husk 3x a day for 21 days. The 21 days are up and it's quietly changed my life. I've got a lot to report. In tomorrow's newsletter I'll be revealing what happened when I max dosed psyllium husk. The good, the bad, and the ugly. Click below to join 500,000+ subscribers and get it first: dango.co/newsletter2

@dollarbillbluez How come I keep seeing pictures of this bong eyed freak all the time?

Happy Threads Day!

No we do not.

I’m sick of talking about how broken our government is. And I'm sure you're sick of hearing about it 😅. It’s time to actually do something. So, I am introducing Shadow Doge. You can think of it as the unofficial, underground cousin of America’s Department Of Government Efficiency. Here’s what we are going to do: - Using extensive Freedom of Information requests to public bodies to delve deeply into how carelessly our tax money is being spent. - Put an anonymous hotline in place for public sector workers to report waste (link in bio) - Publish a monthly report which shows all the ways we have found that the government could be more efficient with how they spend your hard-earned taxes. - Take an entrepreneurial approach to the public sector and highlight billions of pounds of potential savings. - Publish a league table of the worst offending public bodies when it comes to wasting our money. Labour inherited a mess—but Labour have made it worse: Hundreds of thousands of people are losing their jobs. Growth has tanked. Inflation is spiking. Our entrepreneurs are leaving in droves. Whilst today’s paltry growth numbers show the economy essentially flatlined for the last 6 months, the real story is that GDP per head dropped in Q4 2024 meaning that the standard of living dropped for everyone in the UK. As the government grapples with downgraded economic forecasts and higher borrowing costs, 0.1% growth in Q4 is not going to plug the serious gaps in our public finances. The government is facing 2 very difficult options: 1️⃣ Raise taxes→ which will further annihilate our economy and drive even more job creators out of the UK. 2️⃣ Cut spending→ which will make already failing public services even worse. Together with the business community, I want to show there is a better way. We want to show that if our government can become significantly more frugal with how it spends our money that will represent a far better solution than further increasing taxes which just leads to job losses and economic pain for everyone. The UK government will spend £1.276 trillion this year. If we save just 1%, we could fix our budget deficit. If we save 10%, we could build the strongest economy in the world. (A good place to start would be the £749 million the government blows on PR every year...) And by the way, this isn’t about party politics. I remain agnostic. 14 years of Conservative government left the country in a mess. Labour is making it worse. This is about fixing the system. I am open to work with any political party to help make our country better for everyone. The more badly spent tax money we can help identify and save, the more we can invest in the things that are most valuable to us – job creation, education, and our NHS. No more complaining. It's time to find a solution. Together we can save our country and help build a better future for everyone.

One of the most baffling things about the whole Dubai phenomenon- if it can be called such- is that the British immigrants that live there think that the people who don't are jealous. I've never been able to fathom that part out.

@churnwell Just wondering your thoughts on the upcoming double crisis of both there being panic at the pumps, and being pounded at them, simultaneously?

Almost feel sorry for the haters who are trying to spin Muslims voting for a woman in a party led by a gay Jewish man is evidence of Islamist sectarianism 😂 In fact it’s evidence of genuine tolerance, rejection of superficial identity politics and ability to prioritise tackling common concerns of cost of living, protecting public services and rejecting war mongering. And the promotion of mutual respect and individual freedoms. The coming together of people is terrifying for the ruling elites.

I imagine in the 70s and 80s if a headteacher had been found attending National Front/fringe neo-nazi meetings their position would be untenable. Not any more.

If you're a fan of the lighthearted '90 sitcom Father Ted, follow Graham Linehan, its co-creator, on here. Very funny stuff. Check him out.

Gary Lineker: Genocide is bad. The right: Stick to football. Jim Ratcliffe: The UK is being colonised, and I don't pay personal income tax here. The right: Yaay, Sir Jim Ratcliffe. Man of the people. True patriot. Rashford: Feed the kids. The right: Boo. Stick to football.

@JohnRichTV Did AI write this to scare you into paying a subscription to it, making the AI more wealthy? Sure sounds like it

Well this was horrible to read at 6:30am

anti-WFH sentiment is something so plainly engineered by commercial landlords concerned about their return on investment, but conveniently it also corresponds with the british desire for everyone to be miserable all the time

This cunt (a man who’s spent the last 30 years working as a professional agitator), railing against people working from home and seeking a work life balance, cheered on by an audience of largely retired cunts. Vote these motherfuckers into office and this country is fucked.

Mr. Farage have you considered the detrimental effect that turning up to the office 10 minutes late and a colleague going "afternoon!" can have on men's mental health

This shit must go so hard if you’re a thousand years old and an absolute cunt
