Please spread the idea. It seems to work quite well... An animal shelter posted something along the lines of, "If you are an adult, we will rent our shelter dogs to you for $5 an hour... So it looks like you are walking your own dog. " Haha, right? Here are some of the results so far: 1) They now have a waiting list of people who want to PAY FOR THE PRIVILEGE OF WALKING A DOG. 2) They have made so much money in "rental fees" that they have waived adoption fees. 3) When the people renting the dogs are out walking, they post selfies of themselves walking "their" dog on FB, Instagram, dating sites and the others. People are then coming back to the shelter asking to adopt the specific dogs they've already gotten to know. 4) On at least two occasions, people have called the shelter and said, "Hey, i didn't think I even wanted a dog. But me and THIS dog get along REALLY well. I'm not bringing him back." 5) This particular shelter currently has no dogs available to rent, and there is a waiting list. Because all of the dogs have been adopted!! They are currently bringing dogs in from a different shelter to be "rented." A good idea to recharge from 2016

@GMB @susannareid100 @Matt_A_Shea Susannah and Ed suddenly knowing the difference between women and men when this is talked about but pretending they haven’t got a clue when women ask for single sex spaces. Make it make sense.

@RestIsPolitics Disappointing “la la la we’re not listening” fingers in ears stuff from both of you yet again. I wonder if a man challenged your views you’d pay attention?

USA media dishes brutal truth about Brexit Britain “Every decision taken by Tory (and @LibDems) governments was a political decision—it did not need to happen that way. Austerity was never the hard logic of dutiful caretakers; it was a political calculation to rescue rich friends and dump the burdensome price on those least able to endure the cost.” “There is mold in the walls and shit in the rivers, posh butter in the supermarkets has anti-theft tags stuck to it, the trains run on schedule about half the time, the average pub-poured pint of lager—the blood of the nation—is nearing the criminal price of 5 pounds ($6.34), and on May 22 a new general election was announced to the people of Great Britain by a prime minister who is richer than the king.  “Should the polls prove correct—short of a 2016-scale error—the annihilation will be justified. Wage growth is at its lowest level since the Napoleonic Wars. What the Financial Timescalls the “rental market” and what the rest of us call “How much of your money someone richer than you takes every month” is stratospherically inflated; rent is about half a person’s average salary in London. Chain stores on British high streets close permanently at a rate of 14 per day, leaving most shopping areas a procession of corrugated shutters, uncollected rubbish, and the sleeping bags of the homeless. “The precious marvel that is the National Health Service is cracking at the seams; at the current rate, waiting lists will not be cleared for another 685 years. The union for junior doctors, the BMA, has organised 10 strikes and walkouts in the past year for a pay deal that would only bring wages up to the current level of inflation. The city of Birmingham was the first to tip over into bankruptcy; more will follow. “In 2022, at least 3% of all families in Britain—around two million people—could not afford to eat. Like a revenant from Dickens, Victorian diseases like scurvy, rickets, and scabies are back to blight children. “Life expectancy has dropped to the lowest level since 2010—tellingly, the year the Conservatives took power, at the height of the recession.” “These are the bitter fruits of austerity: an experiment in sado-monetarist economics and financial barbarism. Not much unites those five PMs other than the constant ritual tribute in blood to their coiffed icon, Margaret Thatcher. Yet Thatcher, back in the 1980s, did not lie about how brutal the first shock of neoliberalism was going to be. She coldly promised torture before riches. “Its sequel, however, was pitched by its architect George Osborne, chancellor under David Cameron, as a bit of belt-tightening resembling that most prized memory in the national canon: the Blitz Spirit. Come on, chaps, buck up and give it some welly. The shattering of society into thinner fragments was supposed to be a hardy adventure.  “Midway through this downhill plummet, Britain bumbled backward out of the EU. The wreckage of this four-year disaster can now best be seen as an attempt to escape the harsh bite of austerity. “Brexit was a retreat from hunger into myth: an embrace of antique fables about British pluck and derring-do, a belief that even without an empire and an industrial base this archipelago might reclaim past glory. Faced with profound turmoil, much of the nation turned to a half-remembered falsehood about their grandfather’s generation, marching along with Churchill. This election is the reckoning Brexit postponed. newrepublic.com/article/182987…

Kudos to @SkyNews and @BethRigby. This is most revealing thing I've seen this election, epitomised by this question. "How can you convince me Sir Keir Starmer you're not robotic?" Gives robotic answer repeating CPS, N Ireland police background and coming into politics late

Know what make me sad Daniel? Insane child castration cults or gender abattoirs like the Tavistock where staff “joked”, “soon there will be no gay people left” Jo stood up against that, you promoted the ideology. You weak little wooden acting clown.

@GMB @edvaizey @Kevin_Maguire It’s very easy to see online that the translation issue is a punctuation error and the person is not named. But then that wouldn’t whip everyone up into a frenzy, would it?

'The person in question, it would be a hard push to consider them a racist considering the work that they do.' @edvaizey 'But given who they are and the role they play if they were racist that would matter.' @Kevin_Maguire The Dutch version of the controversial book 'Endgame', about Harry and Meghan, has been pulled from shelves after it appeared to name a senior Royal at the centre of the racism row.

Being against trans rights will and should be the defining issue of our times. Whether you think you’re the greatest author or tennis player of all time, it doesn’t matter. You will forever be defined by your callous inability to accept people for who they are.
