@l_kidsalone “OpEn a WiNdOw” some of you say… ok. Will do. Furthest it goes. So effective.

@l_kidsalone Binmen. Early collections. Retail staff. Aircon. Emergency staff. Aircon. Doctors. Aircon. Nurse. Aircon. Teacher. 30 people and the teacher in a small, non-ventilated room.

Binmen/women - Working. Retail staff - Working. Emergency workers - Working. Doctors - Working. Nurses - Working. Teachers - Not working - Again. 🙄🙄

@AvGeekMJ @l_kidsalone Delivery drivers - aircon Postmen - ability to do round earlier in the morning and/or skip a few days of post.

@dwe_89 @l_kidsalone Delivery Drivers/Postmen no air con. I’m out in the sun all day with over 200 deliveries.

@DillonGascoigne A child at home isn’t the same as 32 sweaty people packed into an unventilated classroom at 30°C+ with computers generating heat. Concentration drops, behaviour deteriorates, dehydration becomes a risk, headaches and fatigue increase, and learning becomes minimal.

No safer at home than at school in this heat, but let’s close the schools. If I was to take my child out of school tomorrow for a family holiday, I’d be fined.

@ThatHorroFan2 RE1 PS1

I’m curious what was everyone’s first Resident Evil game mine was Resident Evil 7: Biohazard

@MissC_1717 @MrBoothY6 But it’s the end of a term, not half way through it 😂

@MrBoothY6 No. October February and May are half terms. Christmas is Christmas and Easter is Easter. You are not correct at all.

Hate on me all you want but all five breaks except the summer are half term. Summer is the summer holidays. This upcoming holiday is more of a half term than Christmas though. I do not care to listen to reason, as I already know I am correct.

For those who used a computer between 1995 and 2001, what's the computer game from that time that sticks with you the most, and why?

@EvaVlaar Sorry, didn’t the US do this to someone who had a meme of JD Vance in their phone?

Holy sh*t. I’ve been banned from traveling to the UK. They revoked my ETA. "Your presence in the UK is not considered to be conductive to the public good." 3 days after posting this about Starmer.

@FormerlyIr I burned the pizza. The was was burnt. Verb and adjective. However, UK English prefers burnt for both verb and adjective. US Engish prefers burned for the verb.

A person learning English as a second language just asked me the difference between “burned” and “burnt” — and I just stared blankly back with a 404 error screen running through my brain.

@ShitpostRock New Vegas isn’t Bethesda.

@grok @Deadferrets @The_A_Designer @robprogressive So it’s assuming only a worst case scenario in which the parents and maybe children are disabled, and live in the most expensive part of the country. Thats a lot of assumptions

Fair point on the benefit cap—it limits totals to ~£22k-£25k/yr for families (location-dependent). But the CSJ calc assumes an exemption, like receiving PIP for disability, which removes the cap and allows ~£25k typical housing support, reaching £46k total. See gov.uk/benefit-cap for exemptions.

£25k to stay at home. £22.5k to work full-time £37k salary & you just got taxed £1,400 more. 6 kids on benefits & you just got GIVEN £10k more  You need to earn £71k working to match the money of being on benefits with 3 kids NOT working Welcome to modern Britain

@Deadferrets @The_A_Designer @robprogressive Housing support, 25k? 🤣 I don’t think @Grok knows what a benefit cap is.

@The_A_Designer @robprogressive x.com/grok/status/19…

@KemiBadenoch If all 5 are all disabled and on PIP.

A working family now needs £71k just to match the income of a jobless 3-child household. This morning Starmer will claim he’ll cut welfare, but EVERYONE knows he hiked taxes to record levels to fund a bloated welfare state. Spare us. He rewards dependency, not work. Don’t believe a word he says.

@MentalLentil44 @PolitlcsUK @thetimes Have more children then

@PolitlcsUK @thetimes Muslims and other foreigners will be delighted. We will pay for them to outbreed us, feed their children breakfast, whilst simultaneously replacing us .

🚨 NEW: Rachel Reeves will officially scrap the two-child benefit cap in the Budget [@thetimes]

@jessgill03 Do you think we should pay more pension? Do you want a state pension when you’re older? If the answer is yes, we need people to have more children. We need to incentivise this. Otherwise, what’s your solution? To combat your narrative, white people need to reproduce more.

Rachel Reeves is evil. Scrapping the two child benefit cap will just accelerate the demographic replacement of native Brits. Only 14% of white British families have three or more children compared to 40% of Pakistani and Bangladeshi. Plus they’re 2-3 x more likely to be unemployed than the white British population so we’re the ones funding it. With tax rises, this is going to make it impossible for white British to have a children. You’re funding your own replacement.

@RonnieHinton @Microsoft Put images in text boxes. You won’t have the issue.

@Microsoft Does moving an image in Word still rearrange the fabric of the entire universe?

How it started vs how it’s going

@AdamBienkov I think it’s a lottery on who your delivery person is… ours is great. I find Yodel worse.

Your regular reminder to never ever use Evri, even if your life depends on it. Hands down the worst delivery service in the UK

@JHolzer2021 @OliDugmore They’ll just have to buy less tea and cake from garden centres… like they tell the young to stop buying avocado on toast.

@OliDugmore I do so love Labour not only destroying themselves in the short run but for generations to come. Tax the old. freeze the old, kill the old.

💉💉💉

@sophielouisecc No to immigration. No to having more children. What’s your plan on increasing the birth rate so the pension system doesn’t collapse in the future?

Rachel Reeves is set to scrap the two-child benefit cap in the Budget This is deeply wrong Tax payers should not have to pay for other people to have children they can’t afford.

@FeedTheSpud It’s cheaper to fly to Spain and then back to Leeds

FOUR HUNDRED AND SIXTY GREAT BRITISH POUNDS TO GO TO LEEDS 😭 May as well pay a couple pence extra and go First Class…
