@LondonPubMap@BohemBrewery A great pub and it’s pleasing to see that it wasn’t redeveloped into flats or something else after it remained empty for three years.
Friendly staff and a real community asset.
TRUMP: "If we don't do it, Russia or China will take over Greenland, and we're not going to have Russia or China as a neighbor. Okay?"
"I would like to make a deal the easy way. But if we don't do it the easy way, we're going to do it the hard way."
"I'm a fan of Denmark...but, you know, the fact that they had a boat land there 500 years ago doesn't mean that they own the land."
"NATO's got to understand that. I'm all for NATO. I saved NATO. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have a NATO right now."
Happy Mondays
Interviewer: “You’ll be there. Are all the members of the band … is it the whole Happy Mondays getting back together?”
Shaun Ryder: “well, apart from our kid cos he’s dead!”
LOL @ hating the English cricket team because “I’m a bigger pretend socialist than you”…
… I met some Everton fans in Antigua and Sri Lanka supporting England - did they put on an act like this entitled lot always do?
No - we enjoyed some beers without the fucking whining.
Going to bed. Disappointed in Australia's start against the public schoolboys. Always think Scousers are untransported Aussies. Thought that before I married one. She's more sympathetic to the English than me. C'mon, Aussie, C'mon
In my spare time I run a village pub. It’s the centre of a small Berkshire village, and has been in use as a pub since 1723 (we’ve owned the building - built c. 1400 - since 1608).
We’ve just run the numbers.
It’s not looking good.
Net profit is down a third of pre-covid levels. We had seen some small improvement, but starting from a pretty desperate position. Everything now seems to be against us.
We were recovering after COVID, but the latest government taxes are like a torpedo under the water line. We’re facing impossible rises in staff costs and other taxes.
The latest survey by the British Institute of Innkeeping suggests only 1 in 3 Hospitality business are currently profitable. This will drop to 1 in 10 after the budget rises in April. The result is inevitable.
Thank you @RachelReevesMP and @10DowningStreet. Don’t ever start pretending you know anything about businesses like ours, or even care.
The Palestine hunger strikers are going to die if there is no intervention from this Labour government.
Keir Starmer and David Lammy, blood will be on your hands.
I am considering going to the Tottenham vs. Fulham game on Saturday.
However, I will also be attending the Leeds-City game at 3PM.
Will it logistically be possible, to watch the game, go from The Etihad to Piccadilly, get the next train to Euston, get off at Seven Sisters, and reach the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium?
I will reach Euston around 7:27PM. Google Maps is saying 10 minutes tube to Seven Sisters. Walk must be around what, 40 minutes?
@wesstreeting Spoiler: your ego trip won’t end well.
Thousands of people with vital expertise in running the NHS are being cut from front-line services.
Give it a few months and they’ll have to plug the gap by using consultants from Deloitte or Serco on ridiculously expensive day rates.
Your statement doesn’t make sense at all.
We spend 10.9% of our GDP on welfare, including universal credit, pensions and disability benefits.
We spend 2.3% of our GDP on defence.
There is always money for war, never for the poor.
Every penny spent on bombs, tanks and missiles is stolen from our homes, schools and hospitals.
We are not going to take it anymore.
For context, Legia Warsaw fans were banned from attending Villa Park in 2023 - that didn’t warrant a comment from the PM.
Have you not got more pressing matters to attend to?
This is the wrong decision.
We will not tolerate antisemitism on our streets.
The role of the police is to ensure all football fans can enjoy the game, without fear of violence or intimidation.
