@NamesCorp @designmom Erm, no. If your wife were single, she would just learn to do all that. Currently, she has someone else who will do it…… Are there things that she does, that you just wouldn’t do, if you were single?

@designmom They have to pay someone to do the things a good man would do. Just in the past few months alone I fixed the furnace, the car, the tub, the internet connection and more that my wife wouldn't of known how to do herself. Also never has to worry about lawn cutting or shovelling snow

He asked this sincerely. 😂😂😂

@yvessirae No. There is no other answer, or offer to have your name on the mortgage and deeds, and that he should trust you.

HELP. My boyfriend wants us to get a house together, but when I asked if my name would be on the title, he said no. He got defensive and said I should just trust him, but at the same time he expects me to help pay for the house. He keeps saying everything he has is mine too, but that doesn’t really line up with what he’s asking from me. I don’t feel comfortable putting my money into something I wouldn’t legally have any ownership of, no matter how much I care about him.

@AndrewYang We don’t want to be detained, by your band of ICE thugs

It makes me sad when friends who are not American decide not to visit or are curbing travel here because they don’t think they’re wanted.

@mcfc_son @Mr_Husky1 WTAF????

Do it immediately. At 38, you don’t have time to haggle over a car and a house while a man who loves you is ready to build a life with you. Sell them, open the joint account and make him happy, otherwise you are just letting your chance at a real partnership slip through your fingers.

I am about getting married, my husband to be knows I own a car and house of my own, he insists I sell the car and house and we use the money to open joint account, or no marriage, I am 38 yes old already, what do you think or advice me to do. Credit - winnieaigbojie

@JoeProvy146 @GoodwinMJ There are no indigenous British people. We are a mix of various European tribes. The Celts were likely Spanish or Central European, the Angles and the Saxons were German, the Normans were French(ish), the Romans were Roman, the Vikings were Nordic, Frisians from Netherlands, etc

@GoodwinMJ Democracy is failing completely here. Most of the indigenous people, if they were informed, would not want any of this, yet a government which hates us can carry on and no-one is able to halt them in their tracks, remove them immediately and jail them ALL.

The removal of historical figures such as Winston Churchill from English banknotes may appear trivial to some. But it isn’t. It matters far more than many people realise. Because what we are witnessing is not an isolated decision about banknote design. It is part of something much larger: a slow but relentless erosion of our national culture, identity, and collective memory. As Professor Frank Furedi has observed, we are living through what he calls “the War Against the Past.” Across the Western world, an assortment of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion bureaucrats, radical activists, and increasingly compliant public institutions are engaged in a cultural project that seeks to delegitimise our national histories and strip away the symbols that once anchored our collective identity and memory. The pattern is now familiar. Statues are toppled. Historical figures are reframed as morally suspect or “divisive”. Public institutions rename buildings, spaces, Tube lines. School and university reading lists are “decolonised”. The past itself is rewritten to emphasise only its sins while ignoring its achievements. Even the quiet symbolism of everyday life — the images on our currency, the names of our streets, the monuments in our squares — is steadily edited and sanitised. What replaces these symbols is rarely anything meaningful. Instead of historically significant figures who helped shape the nation, we are offered neutral, universal imagery that stands for almost nothing at all — landscapes, wildlife, abstractions. On the surface this seems harmless. But symbolism matters. For centuries, historical figures served as cultural signposts, reminders of the history, struggles and achievements that shaped the nation and its people. Remove those signposts, and something subtle but important begins to change. The past becomes distant. Then contested. And then disposable. Gradually, the story of a nation — its triumphs, failures, and defining moments — is hollowed out. In its place emerges a new idea of national identity that is deliberately thin: one that defines Britain not through its history or traditions but through the abstract celebration of diversity itself. In other words, the only thing that is meant to define us is that we have no defining identity at all. The endpoint of this cultural project is not inclusion but historical amnesia, or cultural erasure. A society that is detached from its past, uncertain of its traditions, and unsure of what binds it together. This is what Sir Roger Scruton meant when he wrote: “A society that loses its memory loses its identity.” And that loss happens gradually, through thousands of seemingly small decisions — a statue removed here, a curriculum altered there, a historical figure quietly replaced on a banknote. Each individual change may appear insignificant. But taken together they represent something far more profound: the slow disconnection of a people from their own history and collective memory. A people who no longer really know who “we” are. I doubt the bureaucrats who made this decision at the Bank of England fully grasp the cultural significance of what they are doing. But intention is not the point. The effect is what matters. When we remove the symbols of our past, we further weaken the very foundations of our identity. Or Orwell warned: “The most effective way to destroy people is to deny and obliterate their own understanding of their history.” This is what is happening and accelerating around us. This is what Furedi meant by the “War Against Our Past”. And this is why it really matters. Not because of one banknote. But because of the much larger cultural story it represents.

@theparthrastogi I was a student, in the 90s, and know no-one who was married before 26. We were at university, at 21. Why on earth would we be getting married???

Look at the generational difference - 1990s: • Get a university degree • Get a 9–5 job • Suit and tie • Get promoted • Get married at 21 • Buy a house at 25 • 4 kids, 1 dog • Retire at 60 2026: • Survive… Show more

@Simon_Ingari This isn’t petty. In much of the world, this is illegal. USA needs to sort out is work laws

My coworker just got fired for literally the pettiest reason. She was just terminated, and honestly it has me a little scared now. This girl was one of the top performers on our team. She consistently hit her metrics and never caused any problems. Last month, she submitted a PTO request for her sister’s wedding with three weeks’ notice. The manager approved it in the system, so she booked her flight and hotel—none of it was refundable. Then, two days before she was supposed to leave, her manager messaged her on Teams. He said, “Hey, I know you have PTO scheduled, but we really need you for this client presentation. Can you push your trip?” She replied, “No, I can’t. It’s my sister’s wedding. Everything is already booked.” He responded, “Well, this is a really important client, and I need you to be a team player here.” She stood firm and said, “No, I’m taking my approved PTO.” After that, he didn’t respond.

@smith_john4210 @TonyDowson5 Not true. BLC has been around since before 2010

@TonyDowson5 It shouldn't even be a thing anymore. It was meant to be for covid frontline workers, why does Sally that pushes pencils and joined two weeks ago get one?

Need to stop throwing Blue Light cards around like confetti. Complete overkill that teachers are entitled to it.

@elonmusk Just the English?? So, planning to ignore the rest of the U.K. Nice, not 🙄. And the current English are Angles, Saxons and Normans, with a bit of Roman and Scandinavian thrown in. Definite areas of Celts remain, although fewer in England. NONE were the original inhabitants

If one is to use the term “First Nations” or “Indigenous Peoples” or “Native Americans” in the Americas and Antipodes, then, in fairness, it should also apply to English, French, Spanish and other such peoples in Europe

@MAGAMUKGA @devadam88 @RupertLowe10 What about the Celts in Cornwall and Devon, and the Nordic descendants, in NE England? I would argue that most of Liverpool is Irish, ergo Celts. This does not fit with your “the English are Anglo-Saxons (German) and Normans (French)

@devadam88 @RupertLowe10 England originates from Old English Englaland, which literally means “land of the Angles”. The Angles were one of the Germanic tribes — along with the Saxons and Jutes — that migrated from what is now northern Germany and southern Denmark. Stop denying this exists, please.

If I moved to Japan, and lived in Japan for decades, speaking the language, integrating into society, contributing to the economy. Would I be ethnically Japanese? No. No I would not. I would never pretend to be. Nor would that apply to India, Thailand, Mexico, Denmark or anywhere else. So why is England different? Of course there is an English ethnicity. I am entirely bemused by how so many argue against that. It’s just a fact. Politicians who say otherwise are cowards. This is painfully obvious. Restore Britain’s position is clear. English ethnicity exists - it’s the only sodding data point that the Government collects on anything. Of course someone who is not of that ethnicity can be British, obviously. But it equally does not mean that the English ethnicity is imaginary. Those two things can be true at the same time. I got in trouble years ago for suggesting that the footballer Paul Pogba was French, but not ethnically French. It’s insanity. That is just a factual position. Common sense, clearly. Separately, Restore Britain has said from the very start - owning a British passport does not make you British. We have seen how lazily those documents have been frittered away. Holding that piece of paper does not automatically make you British, we are very clear on that. Is the Egyptian lunatic Alaa Abd El-Fattah British? He has a passport. Restore Britain says NO. No, he is not and he should be stripped of that paper and deported. Being British encompasses so much more than that, it means so much more than that. It is not simply a piece of paper. It is culture, shared beliefs, patriotism, language, a common understanding of what is right and wrong. That has nothing to do with ethnicity, obviously. But for even daring to suggest that English ethnicity exists I’ll be roundly attacked. It is just a fact. Every other country in the world manages to acknowledge ethnicities exist without descending into hysteria. England should be able to do the same.

@__RedRabbit__ @MrPitbull07 But why do they have “bussers and food runners”? That is unnecessary staffing and hierarchy. Most other countries, the waiters clear plates, serve the food that they collected from the kitchen, serve the drinks (unless in high end restaurant where there are wine waiters)

Most servers in the US have to pay bussers, food runners, and bartenders a tipout based on their total sales. In Orlando where I'm from the average tip out is 8-10% of sales owed back to the restaurant to pay the other employees. If you tipped $40 on a $500 check, she likely had to pay out of her own pocket to take care of you. You probably stole $10 from her. 18-20% is the minimum for good service. Unfortunately, there's no way for people to learn US tip laws unless people explain it to them If a server explains you're stealing money from them or tries to explain the system to you they will be fired.

We went to a dinner as a group and had a $500 bill. We tipped $40. We were happy we can be able to give our server something, but her reaction was the opposite. She told us she assumed we're going to give her at least $120. When we asked for the manager, she said she was just joking, but she wasn't smiling at all. Idk, but is $40 tip enough for $500 bill? I just feel like expecting $120 is not realistic. ~Lea Robertson

@cecegkh From across the pond, WTAF??????? How does he have any right there better your property???

This is the kind of neighbors we need! I can assure you my attorney would be all over this within 24 hours. This is why I will never live in a community with an HOA.🤬

@Matt_Pinner This is silly. I can think of more that don’t contain “ball”, than do

This is hard

@matrixband @Geniustechw My 12 year old knows what is appropriate business wear. There is no excuse. This adult is just trying to be controversial.

@Geniustechw Match the outfit to the job, not to your preference of the day. Yo7ng people, I’d give her a chance because they just don’t know… yet. However, I bet she was fired because of the defiant attitude.

Was this appropriate office attire for her FIRST DAY at a corporate job?? 👀💼

@1Nicdar Vancouver is extortionate. I live in the U.K. and know this. How do you not know? If I moved to Denmark or Switzerland I would know that everything is more expensive. Why on earth did you think Canada, and more specifically Vancouver, would be the same as your country?

🚨JUST IN: Liberal Karen who fled to Canada is now begging online for free housing after discovering the cost of living and health care are worse than in the US, saying that she cannot work on visas, is burning through her savings, and is struggling to afford skyrocketing rent.

@Shakes2000 @implausibleblog Even fit and able, hetero white men benefit by being allowed paternity leave. I don’t for a minute believe that he would want to take paternity leave, however.

@implausibleblog I've benefited from those laws and I know many others have too from pregnant women to black and ethnic minorities. I also remember prior to 2010 when people like jenrick could discriminate against people and get away with it.

Charlie Stayt, "Have you suffered discrimination?" Robert Jenrick, "No" Charlie Stayt, "Those people who have benefitted over the years from the 2010 Equalities Act which you wish to get rid of, might well say: if it hadn't been there unfair things would have happened to me" "Because they use those laws to protect themselves" Robert Jenrick, "I don't think that's right" Charlie Stayt, "So there would be no one who benefited from those laws?" Robert Jenrick, "No"

@GerryC_77 @I_amMukhtar Who is SB? Can only think of Suella Braverman, in the U.K.

@I_amMukhtar Surely Johnson, Rees Mogg and Farage should be charged with the same offence?

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has been arrested. Six unmarked police cars and eight plain clothed police officers went to get him this morning.

@jessgill03 Wow. This wee girl needs to read more widely. Maybe pop over to the USA. This kind of blinkered thinking would make you attractive to the Trump administration, or maybe baby Trump, Farage

Britain never asked the Windrush generation to come here. They were never invited from the start. And Britain wasn’t rebuilt by immigrants after WW2. British people rebuilt Britain. When will we stop believing this propaganda?

@Dr_Dan_Stratton @benarchibald @jessgill03 It decimated the availability of Filipino nurses, in the Philippines. They are exceptionally well trained, knowledgeabl, efficient and proactive (far better than U.K. trained nurses), and a huge asset to the NHS, but it is unfair to the Filipino people, at home.

@benarchibald @jessgill03 The NHS still recruits abroad too.

@fowler_andyf @CarolineRi88162 @NormanBrennan @mayooflondon By that argument, the entire of the U.K. should vote for the mayor of the UK’s capital

@CarolineRi88162 @NormanBrennan @mayooflondon The whole of England should vote who is mayor of our capital

BREAKING DREADFUL NEWS; Just when you thought that the news couldn’t get any WORSE> Sadiq Khan states that he Intends to stand for a 4th term as @MayoofLondon LONDON > RIP🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️🙏😞
