- pay artists
@ZoeYak Mad how it’s also brought out the freedom-of-speech twats also from the right that are defending Lineker. If anyone was gonna accidentally unite the country … apparently it’s Gary Lineker?
💰 BP profits: more than doubled to £23,000,000,000 in a year.
❌ Their climate target: missed.
📈 Our energy bills: doubled.
The same companies that are profiting from poverty are trashing our planet.
We need a proper windfall tax now + move to publicly owned green energy.

@ScotteeIsFat It was a fav area of mine for day trips/long random drives/weekends in the quiet when I lived in Edinburgh. Enjoy very much and drink all that tasty tap water xx
@ScotteeIsFat The northern end for a wild swim (south of inveruglas had a random coffee shop then a few lay-bys/ beaches after to pull in and splash). Would also be careful as a lot of the area is ‘seasonal’ so not everywhere open.
@ScotteeIsFat Balloch castle for a less popular view point, ‘The Devils Pulpit’ for the adventure, inversnaid falls for the waterfall, the Drovers Inn (great pub grub and mad taxidermy), there’s also a pet cemetery nearby with V nice owners on site who show their coos.
@ZoeYak When I was home living in Belfast and Game of Thrones was filming, I told every taxi driver I was on it. It was my fav fake small talk. They’d never know.
Were you a child before the invention of Calpol? What did you have instead? When I was ill as a kid in the 1970s, I would sleep in my parents' bed and would be cured by a Chelsea bun and Lucozade.
Fact is that it’s only possible to afford London now on an early career salary if your parents live in London or you’re wealthy.
If you’re not from London, or if you don’t have money, you’re shut out of our only major city. How’s that fair?
When Cameron Diaz is in that fancy local shop in The Holiday, just sluggin wine and buying all the fun treats - that was me today in a bougie east London Grocery shop. No regrets. So many truffle crisps.
