@domdyer70 If license plate cannot be worked out, contacting residents in the area to check doorbell/ security cams to see if they've picked it up. Fingers crossed. Vile scumbags.

This is what entitlement looks like! 🤬
There are nesting waterbirds on this pond on Hampstead Heath... there are also big 'No Swimming' signs, all being totally ignored! 🤬
Pure selfishness... 😒🤬🤬

This guy is wondering why outside gates to your backyard are built this way.

So many times we see people who think they have to replace their gate or hinges. Nope! This is all you need to know to stop your gate from drooping and rubbing against the floor. It’s so simple.

Why don’t all fence companies or contractors build them this way in the first place?

This is such an easy fix. Physics man. Genius. This IS the kind flex we need! 😂

Wonder if he knows he has a face on his fence. 😳

Did you know this about the weight distribution on a gate? Do you have a gate like this that you thought needed repair? Well there you go.

@JohnBarrowman My condolences to you all. It was clear to all through your posts that she was a very special lady. Even though she is not here physically anymore, she will continue to be there by your side in spirit, supporting you and giving you the strength you all need. Much love x

Watch as @nationalgriduk chomps through a hedge. In nesting season. Despite its DCO stating “”In accordance with good practice measure B02, vegetation with the potential to support breeding birds will be programmed to be removed outside of breeding bird season (March to August inclusive) where practicable”. So why was it not practicable not to do it in this instance?The ecologist found nothing (what a surprise) but there is no way a hedge like this does not have nesting birds.

We've reached the point in the UK where working full time doesn't actually mean anything anymore.

It used to mean stability. It used to mean you could afford a home, eat properly, maybe go away once a year and not panic if your car made a weird noise.

Now it just means nothing.

You wake up early, work all day, come home tired, and still somehow sit there wondering how you're going afford everything.

Rent is ridiculous. Bills are constant. Food prices change depending on the mood of the supermarket.

And wages? Basically frozen in time.

You're not lazy. You're not bad with money. You're just trying to survive in a system where everything goes up except what you get paid.

£26436.80 is the new min wage annual salary (40 hrs p/wk).

And as the min wage rises, regular salaries don't. So many people will begin to ask themselves 'why am I working this highly stressful job that needed qualifications and a tonne of bullshit paperwork and police checks just to earn 5k more a year than I would stacking shelves at Lidl?'

🚨 FINALLY, after years of pressure, the RSPCA is strongly backing a full ban on non-stun slaughter! 🚨

They've launched an open letter to Defra demanding the UK government ends this cruel practice for good, no exemptions, no excuses.

Slaughter without effective pre-stunning causes unnecessary pain and suffering to millions of animals every year.

The RSPCA: all animals deserve to be stunned first so they don't feel the cut.

Sign their open letter right now and add your voice:
https://t.co/H9alk3WaO3

Ban Halal and all non-stun slaughter.

Animals shouldn't suffer for any reason in 2026.

If you care about real animal welfare, sign, repost! 💥🐄🐑🐷

Want to talk about medical misogyny? I was due to have a hysteroscopy (v painful gynae procedure) next week with sedation. I rang with a mundane question and the staff were confused, saying no sedation is booked. After being put through to various people, I finally got an answer:

IF I GET DEMENTIA…..
I’d like my family to hang this wish list up on the wall where I live. I want them to remember these things.

1a. Every time you enter the room announce yourself. “Hi Dad - it’s Amanda.”
NEVER ask- Do you know who I am??? That causes anxiety.

• If I get dementia, I want my friends and family to embrace my reality.

• If I think my spouse is still alive, or if I think we’re visiting my parents for dinner, let me believe those things. I’ll be much happier for it.

• If I get dementia, don’t argue with me about what is true for me versus what is true for you.

• If I get dementia, and I am not sure who you are, do not take it personally. My timeline is confusing to me.

• If I get dementia, and can no longer use utensils, do not start feeding me. Instead, switch me to a finger-food diet, and see if I can still feed myself.

• If I get dementia, and I am sad or anxious, hold my hand and listen. Do not tell me that my feelings are unfounded.

• If I get dementia, I don’t want to be treated like a child. Talk to me like the adult that I am.

• If I get dementia, I still want to enjoy the things that I’ve always enjoyed. Help me find a way to exercise, read, and visit with friends.

• If I get dementia, ask me to tell you a story from my past.

• If I get dementia, and I become agitated, take the time to figure out what is bothering me.

• If I get dementia, treat me the way that you would want to be treated.

• If I get dementia, make sure that there are plenty of snacks for me in the house. Even now if I don’t eat I get angry, and if I have dementia, I may have trouble explaining what I need.

• If I get dementia, don’t talk about me as if I’m not in the room.

• If I get dementia, don’t feel guilty if you cannot care for me 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It’s not your fault, and you’ve done your best. Find someone who can help you, or choose a great new place for me to live. With a bus and activities!!

• If I get dementia, and I live in a dementia care community, please visit me often.

• If I get dementia, don’t act frustrated if I mix up names, events, or places.
Take a deep breath. It’s not my fault.

• If I get dementia, make sure I always have my favorite music playing within earshot.

• If I get dementia, and I like to pick up items and carry them around, help me return those items to their original place.

• If I get dementia, don’t exclude me from parties and family gatherings.

• If I get dementia, know that I still like receiving hugs or handshakes.

• If I get dementia, remember that I am still the person you know and love.”

ᴄᴏᴘʏ ᴀɴᴅ ᴘᴀsᴛᴇ in Honor of someone you know or knew who has dementia. In Honor of all those I know and love and lost who are fighting Dementia/Alzheimer’s.

Digital ID for every adult is not progress. It is the end of a free society dressed up as convenience.

I am a cyber security specialist. This is my take.

They are selling it as a fix for illegal migration. That is bollocks.

We spend hundreds of billions a year on cyber security and yet the volume of breaches is breaking records. The threat is growing faster than the spend.

Digital ID will not stop boats. It will not stop trafficking gangs. It will not fix a broken border.

Criminals will work around it.

Honest citizens will pay the price.

It builds giant data banks that track where you go, what you buy, what you read and who you speak to.

It links your identity to every checkpoint in daily life.

One breach and your life is exposed.

Look at Jaguar Land Rover and the airports in recent weeks. Now imagine that at national scale on an ID system tied to everything you need to live your daily life.

Here is the risk that ministers will not admit.

Ransomware seeded through a supplier or an insider:

It lies quiet for months.
It rolls through the backups.
On trigger day the register and the recovery sets are both encrypted.

Payments fail. Health and benefits stall. Borders slow. Citizens are frozen out until a ransom is paid or the state rebuilds from scratch.

Centralise identity and you centralise failure.

Do not fall for the pitch.
Function creep is certain.
It starts as login.

It becomes access to money, travel, speech and public services.

It turns rights into permissions controlled by the state and its contractors.

It creates a single point of failure for criminals, insiders and hostile states to target.

It will punish the elderly, the poor and anyone who is not always online.

It will centralise risk and outsource blame.

It will not stop fraud.

It will not stop illegal migration.

It will build the machinery for a social credit system by stealth.

If ministers cared about the border, they would enforce current laws, resource patrols and processing, close loopholes and remove those with no right to stay.

You do not need a national ID to do any of that.

We scrapped ID cards in 2010 for a reason.

Britain does not need a central register to prove age or status.

Yes to privacy first proofs. No to a database state.

@chrislittlewoo8 This is digital ID, they know everything about you and in real time. "I have nothing to hide" say the brainwashed idiots.
