🎶 👇🏼sad that a much loved Scotland has been subjected over twenty years to severe neglect, from the state of our health providers, policing, education etc to the hellish condition of our roads because many of our countrymen put SNP activists into power. Your call Thursday 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

so i just got back from sicily and coffee was €2.50, tea was €3.50, beer was €4-6, and a cocktail was €7-9 so i’m going to need the uk population to get very real very quickly about the fact that the prices we are charged are NOT what’s happening everywhere

we didnt get this strong of a reaction when it turned out nigel farage was doing cameos for neo nazis

If I’m paying 5 employees £12.71 ph and have to increase to £15 I have to find an extra £29k+ a year (if you include NI and NEST etc based on 40hrs per week) does anyone think a business like a coffee shop can magic up an extra £29k + a year without putting up prices?

According to Natural England's modelling, the fish disco will save just 0.083 salmon and 0.028 sea trout per year. That works out to over £280,000 per fish saved. For £700 million, we could wipe out Somerset’s £41 million council deficit for a decade, fix every single pothole in the county, build a rail link to Minehead, and make every bus in Somerset free for years. Or we could just make the electricity that Hinkley produces cheaper, and we'd all benefit. Being a poor country is a choice.

The Shire is great but it is impossible and unsustainable without the military and political power of Gondor.

We have political and structural problems which require political and structural solutions. Becoming glorified living history re-enactors in a few pleasant rural enclaves while the country is utterly transformed around us is a recipe for failure and decay.

It’s striking that all the news on the elections this week is about process, predictions and polls. I remember when journalists reported on policies.

Exclusive bombshell investigation in tomorrow’s Sunday Express: The number of people being removed to countries accused of gaming the UK immigration system has plummeted, the Express can reveal. Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood is under growing pressure to impose visa bans on countries such as Pakistan, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, Sri Lanka and Jamaica as returns to these countries dropped by as much as 88%. And it comes as the number of people claiming asylum from some of these countries surged by a staggering 373%. The number of removals to Pakistan fell from 5,198 in 2015 to 1,237 last year. This is the biggest drop of any country worldwide. Returns to Bangladesh fell from 2,302 in 2015 to 312, removals to Jamaica plummeted from 524 to just 63 over the same decade and the number of people being booted out to Sri Lanka dropped from 1,162 to 277. Critics have accused Labour of “padding out” their removal numbers with Albanians, Brazilians and the EU.
