New Broadway W5 I can't say for certain if either of the gentlemen are 54, but I can say with a degree of certainty, that neither are female. BB is a 54 year old female. And the fact they are unloading food into a burger van tells me something is amiss. @EalingCouncil

@PhilipProudfoot So the cleaner who just wants to do a few hours to top her pension gets a raise, so the shop floor workers want a rise, so their team leader wants a rise, so their manager wants a rise so the group manager wants a rise so the directors want a rise. not sustainable?

Don’t particularly feel sorry for any business owner whose enterprise is only viable because they pay poverty wages.
Peter McCormack 🏴‍☠️🇬🇧🇮🇪@PeterMcCormack

A minimum wage of £15 would end my coffee shop, it would have to close, as would many other businesses. I’ll explain for the economically illiterate. Staff costs are currently half our costs, a £15 minimum wage is actually more than £15 an hour for the company, because you have to add: - 12.07% holiday - Sick pay - Maternity pay if and when required - National insurance - Pension contributions These costs would mean the shop loses money because remember, energy costs are up, rates are up, regulations are up. Now you can pass these costs onto the consumer - that would mean charging a lot more for coffee, people won’t pay it. The likes of Starbucks and Costa can, because they have economies of scale. The independent doesn’t. Now the little socialist will say well this is your fault, if you can’t run a business that can afford to pay its staff properly, but the little socialist has never run a business and does not understand the dynamics. Now I could pay some staff off and fill those hours myself or reduce us to one staff member during certain periods - but this proves the point that a minimum wage costs jobs. There was a time when these jobs were done by kids, perhaps on the weekend, paid a lower wage, no holiday and no silly employment rights. Perhaps they were even paid cash. The dynamic worked and small businesses like this could operate. It was also a great first job. Sadly now it isn’t worth employing entitlement youngsters at this level of pay. So alas, I don’t need the stress, the business would close, a number of jobs would be lost. Economics is about understanding these dynamics, no vibes. The cost of living is not solved through passing on inflation to the business, it is solved by ending high inflation and creating prosperity. This is what socialists don’t understand, they can’t create prosperity, they can only destroy it.

Cadbury’s ‘Dairy Milk’ got banned from being called chocolate in 27 countries… because it’s no longer chocolate. 🍫 They swapped the expensive cocoa butter for industrial oils and petroleum vanilla, then added PGPR to stop it separating. All done in sneaky little 1% changes so you’d never notice. You’re not eating chocolate anymore – you’re eating a flavoured wax bar with a fancy wrapper. Check the ingredients. See ‘vegetable fats’ or ‘PGPR’? That’s your sign it’s fake. Real chocolate has 5 ingredients max. Everything else is just expensive processed junk. They’ve been robbing your taste buds for years. What’s next – ‘milk’ without the milk? 🥛

🚨🇬🇧 Meanwhile in the UK The British government are now considering BANNING 67 Breeds of dogs from UK streets ‼️ There is also plans to ban Dogs from parts of the English countryside. Why? The cover story is that it’s animal welfare, however the real reason, is simply, that Muslims consider Dogs to be ‘Haram’ in Islam - and are applying constant pressure to have the animal banned entirely.

@models_by_Russ Well put. As it's for the ones that don't initially leave voluntarily, I'm just waiting for the surprise when none leave voluntarily.

A View From Yorkshire
A View From Yorkshire@models_by_Russ·
Dear Prime Minister & Home Secretary, I hope this letter finds you well, fully caffeinated, and in possession of a calculator. I’m writing with what I believe is a modest, fiscally responsible proposal. I understand the Government is offering up to £40,000 to certain individuals to voluntarily leave the United Kingdom. First of all — bold strategy. Nothing says “strong borders” quite like a cashback scheme. Now, I regret to inform you that I am, in fact, a fully tax-paying, law-abiding British citizen. I know — awkward. I appreciate this may disqualify me from the premium exit package, but I’m willing to negotiate. I would like to formally apply for £35,000 to leave. You see, unlike some applicants, I haven’t broken any laws to get here. I didn’t arrive by dinghy. I didn’t require processing, housing, or legal appeals. I’ve actually been funding the whole operation through PAYE for years — which I believe makes me a loyal shareholder in this enterprise. Given that you’re prepared to offer £40,000 for someone to depart voluntarily after entering illegally, I feel £35,000 for someone who’s been here legally all along represents excellent value for money. Think of it as a “Buy British, Get One Gone” discount. For £35,000 I will:    •   Leave quietly.    •   Not require a press conference.    •   Not demand a diversity officer to wave me off.    •   Even carry my own suitcase to the airport. I may also tweet a polite thank-you note on departure, praising the efficiency of the scheme. Frankly, it feels like I’ve misunderstood how incentives work in modern Britain. All these years I thought obeying the law, paying taxes, and contributing to society were the winning strategy. Turns out the real pro-move is to arrive unlawfully and wait for a loyalty bonus. Who knew? While British families are juggling rent, energy bills, and the weekly food shop like contestants on a dystopian game show, it’s reassuring to know the Treasury has located a spare £40,000 per head for voluntary goodbyes. May I ask — is there a points card? Ten years of National Insurance contributions and I get a free exit bonus? If so, I believe I’m overdue. In the spirit of fairness and fiscal responsibility, I am not even asking for the full £40,000. I’m trimming £5,000 off to help balance the books. That’s the kind of responsible budgeting I was raised on. If successful, I promise to:    •   Leave via a scheduled flight (economy is fine).    •   Not stage a protest on the runway.    •   And refrain from re-entering on a small boat to see if I qualify twice. All I ask is equal treatment. If departure is now a funded career pathway, I would very much like to submit my CV. Yours in hopeful relocation, A slightly confused taxpayer

An English farmer independently detained two men who were stealing on his land. He tied them to his quad bike and took them to the nearest police station. The British police arrested the farmer himself, charging him with unlawful imprisonment and assault.

I have never seen Islam drop a bomb on a hospital. I have never seen Islam impose a starvation blockade. I have never seen Islam erase an entire city and call it precision. But I have seen all of that done in the name of fighting Muslims.

Palestine today. 5 people dead due to hypothermia. Hypothermia caused by Israel blocking all live saving supplies from entering. Just a few miles away, on the other side of seized lands, military walls and tanks, Israeli kids eat fast food and play in swimming pools.

Unpopular opinion: I know it's a low bar, but Starmer has already achieved more than the corrupt, inept tories did Reason he's so unpopular is in part down to the media, which of course Laura Kuenssberg, Chris Mason, Robbie Gibb & co have contributed to #bbclaurak #BBCBreakfast
