Had a high school reunion last weekend
I was talking to my high school crush, Henrietta
I don't like to brag but after few drinks it slipped out
"I made €41,000 this year" I nonchalantly said
"Ok..." she awkwardly looked down
Must have been intimidated, women always are when they hear amounts like this
"So how much do you make, Henrietta?" I asked
"Umm, well, €350,000 or so last year"
I chuckled and asked again, slower this time, so she understands
"No honey, I meant your actual salary, after tax"
"Umm, I run my own startup and I'm a digital nomad so I don't pay any tax really"
I felt my face go white and my hands were shaking
I excused myself, went to the bathroom
Dial 112, press call
Twenty five minutes later two officers walked in
"That one, officers" I pointed to Henrietta
They slammed her against the wall and cuffed her
She was crying, looking at me with shock in her eyes
Yes, I loved her once
But I love my government more, and I protect it at any cost

Just came out of Lidl and saw a woman crying her eyes out. She was explaining to people that she’d lost all of her Xmas spending money and didn’t know how she would be able to afford everything! I felt really sorry for her and gave her £50. I don’t normally do this sort of thing but I had just found £2000 in the car park! It doesn’t hurt to be kind at this time of year!

As a 5 year old I asked "Daddy...what's the difference between @UKLabour & @Conservatives ?"
I still remember his reply "Well Elizabeth. If a Rolls Royce drives by a conservative will say 'I want to make it possible for everyone to drive one of those one day'. Whereas Labour would say 'I will ensure that nobody is ever rich enough to afford one". #PMQs #RachelReeves

@SandbanksFerry Interesting use of words describing something you have to pay for as free

As a consequence of our public event in Swanage last week and wider conversations, we've taken on board feedback from our community and decided to offer an additional concession to local residents regarding the Road Only Toll. Find out more here: sandbanksferry.co.uk/the-sandbanks-…

@eflobserverpod He’s not offside from the corner - you can’t be - the taker is offside from the second pass

@josiahmortimer Same in South Dorset - no appearance, no hustings, one generic Post Office leaflet, no social media presence, allegedly from South Derbyshire!

@TanglewoodSteve @AlexMcKinstry1 Not quite - Brownsea was lit in the war to divert bombers from Poole not just to punish the owner!!

@AlexMcKinstry1 Thanks Alex fascinating, I'd heard something about the WW2 decoy part but not about Mrs B-C will have to check it out.

A quick reminder that .... ⬇️

Brownsea Island re-opens this Saturday and #nature is waking up to welcome you back. The famous red squirrels will be foraging to feed their babies, and migratory birds have returned after their winter adventures. nationaltrust.org.uk/visit/dorset/b… #BrownseaIsland #PooleHarbour #Dorset

This is irresponsible nonsense from a senior Tory councillor @BCPCouncil - where exactly did this event take place?
English

@BuildWood @DanielRoyParkin @VikkiSlade72 @Robfranks @Gladelands @BCPCouncil @Bournemouthecho Where are you getting that what you call “non-authority” cllrs are not allowed to be what you call “politically partisan”? Firstly think you mean party political and secondly there is no such law forbidding political parties in town or parish councils
English

@BCPCouncil - is it true you have cancelled all Poole Quay events for 2024? No bike nights, no car events, no fireworks etc? If so, you have probably put the final nail in the coffins of many Poole businesses. @Bournemouthecho @VikkiSlade72

This is very weird - Wareham MP attempting to sound like normal person. “There were loads of goals - finished 1-1!!!” @WimborneTownFC ⚽️⚽️

🕧 Longer school hours.
➕ More maths.
💨 Cracking down on vaping.
That’s what the wise year 5 & 6 children at Freshwater and Yarmouth C of E Primary School in the Isle of Wight want to see.
And is what @RishiSunak and the government will deliver.
