@NotUntilHeFalls @BonsaiSky I'm beginning to wonder if 30s Germany happened now, would we bother to stop it? All morality has gone from world politics.

Almost a third of UK businesses are calling for the government to support British trade by reducing Brexit-related regulations and red tape.
Nearly a third 31% of companies said they wanted to see a reduction in post-Brexit regulatory requirements, including:
customs procedures, obtaining appropriate licences for trading, and strengthened mutual recognition of professional standards and qualifications across Europe.

@ZaraRahim He looked like a lovely guy.
I wish all this killing would stop.

Yousef was delivering fresh produce just today and then Israel targeted and killed him. My heart is absolutely shattered.
Yousef Aljamal 🪁@YousefAljamal
I interviewed farmer Yousef Abo Rabee for an article on agriculture in Gaza to be published by @intifada soon. Israel just killed him.

@irvsbird @KeeperOfPybus @folkyebumpintae Ha! It lodged in my brain though. Have you read his autobiography?

Are people inspired by cultural references anymore made by bands ? Heard this when I was 13 and then read the book. 🤯 One of hundreds of times music signposted me to cultural stuff that changed me. Tell me yours.

@KeeperOfPybus @folkyebumpintae My god. I watched it with my mate when I was 14. Sat in silence the whole time, turned the tv off at the end then never spoke of it again! Traumatised. But it did start my love for Lynch.

@LucyGoBag Been watching old London's Burning episodes amd thinking, I bet they don't have a canteen with someone coking for them anymore. This makes me think I'm probably right.

Had really moving conversation with police colleagues on Friday about this, as they responded to a really tough job. There are no canteens, no rest areas, no places to demob or decompress, no lodgings for DVI incidents… this can only go badly

It’s nice when you can counter a narrative on here. ☺️ You’ll often see Police Officers buying food on shift. We don’t have canteens anymore, and food prep isn’t always doable. 🤷🏼♂️ Today on our break during #PublicOrder duties we voted on @slimchickens for food. 🐓 Normally we queue up, wait for the orders and head back to our vehicle to eat, it’s awkward and not very comfortable, but you get used to it! 🫡 Not today though, the Slim’s manager was on it and asked if we’d like to sit in and enjoy our meal, so we did! Lots of lovely interactions with visitors to #London while we waited and then we got to sit down, enjoy our food and chat. 🍔🥤 Thank you to that manger, we’re only human, need to eat, and it was a very pleasant experience indeed! ☺️#ThinBlueLine 🚨

@LucyGoBag Yeah. Yet the Commons has subsidised bars and fine dining. It's all wrong.

@DanNeidle I can't get over those council tax costs in Blackpool. They're crazy!! 🤯 I'd no idea council tax varied so much across the country either!
English
It is the year 3000. Council tax applies on all colonised planets based on valuations from 1991. Or we could reform property tax.

@RedCollectiveUK That they killed the Hamas leader just tells me even more clearly that any form of negotiating from Israel's side was never going to happen.

@cea_forster It's a funny book but still a classic. Much needed cheer after the heaviness of Hardy.

@irvsbird Thank you. But will it? I don’t know if you’re joking or not! Do the men make it out of the boat? 😬😂😂
Ok, just looked it up! Thank you!

I just finished reading Tess of the d’Urbervilles. I started it without any idea of what it’s about and now I feel a bit sad!
I’ve not read any classics. No reason other than I had better things to be doing with my time when I was young!
What others should I try next?

@NickSmithITV Racist and hate crimes have increased massively since Brexit.
English
What kind of country do we live in?
I spotted this in Exeter today while visiting family.
This is the city where I grew up and I always thought it was pretty friendly and tolerant.
But one of its local businesses (a tapas bar) has now closed citing ongoing racist abuse!

@hackinginquiry They want the right wing media on their side so of course they'll scrap it.

Where EXACTLY do Labour Stand?
The Culture Department's decision to scrap "Leveson Part Two," despite 7,000 public calls for its completion. Is the government bowing to media pressure? Read more on our new site: hackedoff.org/blog-posts/cul…

Depressing news that Govt may approve bee-killing pesticide despite election promise to ban it - & outrageous that British Sugar has applied to use neonics for 5th year, despite industry commitment to end reliance in 2023. Govt must act to protect bees 🐝 theguardian.com/environment/20…
