Visiting my racist aunt in her sheltered housing, met a geezer in the foyer with a load of Reform leaflets.
I pretended to be a Reform man and offered to help deliver them, so he gave me almost 200.
I threw them all into a skip
The venerable @AthleticoMince is coming to an end, so for old times’ sake here’s our bad doodle of the British Managers Lunch Club.

Exclusive: Six registered British charities are openly fundraising for activities and infrastructure in illegal Israeli settlements, a Declassified investigation has found.
Altogether, they appear to have sent more than £1.7 million to recipients in settlements over the past three years, although the figure could be much higher.
There may be more organisations doing the same. In June, Labour MP Melanie Ward accused 32 British charities of funnelling £28m to illegal Israeli settlements. The Charity Commission then announced last month that it had launched a statutory inquiry into eight charities working in illegal Israeli settlements. It is unclear whether the charities Declassified has identified are also on Ward’s list or among those that the Commission is probing.
‘The UK cannot simply acknowledge that settlements are illegal while turning a blind eye to financial flows originating within its own jurisdiction that may contribute to sustaining them,’ Shaima Dallali, legal researcher from the International Centre of Justice for Palestinians (ICJP).

When Margaret Thatcher privatised our water, she told MPs to wait and see before judging.

Water privatisation has been a monumental failure. Public ownership now
"One day, when it's safe, when there's no personal downside to calling a thing what it is, when it's too late to hold anyone accountable, everyone will have always been against this."
male actors don’t even get dropped by their agents or banned from Hollywood for beating their wives and children. be fucking serious. Some men can brutalize the people closest to them and still get called “troubled,” while women are expected to be perfect just to be believed.
Won't stop flying about in helicopters, or remove royal exemptions from environmental laws, though. William is a textbook hypocrite. #AbolishTheMonarchy
Yes, I'm a communist. I know it's not cool and hip to think so, but I think that we should house homeless people in apartments, not kill them for the capitalist economy.
The biggest benefit cheats in our country have just used a staged pic of a child to justify the £83k cost of fees. We paid those fees. Whilst so many in our communities struggle to get the money for food and heating. Sickening.
Sanctions on illegal settlements are welcome, but not enough.
Britain must end all arms sales, all military cooperation, and all forms of support that sustain Israel’s system of apartheid, occupation and genocide.
