@sarajcox we booked the zoo lady who brought a whole load of animals to let the enthralled children look at and touch. highlight of the day was when the komodo dragon was sick all over the 1st row of children. Best party ever apparently
A new study from the London School of Economics says 50 years of tax cuts in the U.S. — which promised to “trickle down” and eventually boost jobs and income for everyone — have only helped one group: the rich.

Inheritance tax is trending.
In 2016, Hugh Grosvenor, the Duke of Westminster, avoided more than £3Billion in inheritance tax when his father died, through the use of trust funds and shell companies.
A reminder that tax is, and continues to be, only for poor people.
This was such a crass,
insensitive remark by Kemi Badenoch. It shows no sympathy or appreciation for care home staff who often get paid just £12 an hour. They work in very stressful conditions, with heavy lifting, doing tasks many residents' families don't want.
This dog's name was Gunner. My uncle brought him back from WW2. He was raised and slept under my uncle's anti- aircraft gun. The gun crew shared their
rations to feed him. By the time he was 18 months old, my uncle said he would stand up and look at the sky. If he laid back down they knew all was ok. If he growled
and put his hackles up they got at the ready. He knew the sound of the German aircraft and my uncle said he
never got it wrong. He said Gunner was better than any early warning system. I'm probably the only one left in the family that knows that story now, so I thought I'd tell it before it's lost forever, like many stories must be from that time. Thanks for reading it.
