Funny how all these right-wing newspapers banging on about "BBC impartiality" seem to have no problem with the fact that the Chair of the BBC Richard Sharp donated £400,000 to the Tories over a near 20-year period...
It's actually quite bad that the prime minister openly slags off lefties. I don't know why this has been normalised, but it's not normal. He's the prime minister and we're members of the public. He's not on a team against us. He serves us.
I have never known such love and support in my life than I’m getting this morning (England World Cup goals aside, possibly). I want to thank each and every one of you. It means a lot. I’ll continue to try and speak up for those poor souls that have no voice. Cheers all. 👊🏻
@Sandra55 It's more likely your body is telling you you're not doing enough to use the energy you are taking in. I suspect stress might have something to do with it, though - if you are GENUINELY not hungry, don't eat!
@xtinexoop Install raised beds on the garden. Double height with weed-proof membrane underneath. Fill with garden soil. bagged topsoil, compost, and sow! Buy indoor-only tomato and cucumber seeds and agrow in large pots in conservatory.
@abd1allah@PeterBa48103946 Industry, mining, agriculture, engineering, slavery and empire - were mostly founded by the families of the same barons. The social system was the same until 1945 and the feudal families have been clawing their power back ever since.
@abd1allah@PeterBa48103946 Political improvements over the centuries were won by the Norman barons over kings they didn't like and had nothing to do with helping ordinary people. The Black Death in 1348 was liberating because it created a shortage of labour (but also led to land enclosures)/3
@abd1allah@PeterBa48103946 TheNorman conquest, 1066. The Normans dismantled the more balanced, if not democratic, Anglo-Saxon kingdom, claimed ownership of all the land, built castles on it and made previously free people serfs. /2
@nigmoore@PeterBa48103946 William, Duke of Normandy, and his descendants. Plus his acolytes, whose descendants still own chunks of the UK. Their castles and feudal rules.
@JeremyVineOn5 It appears to be more that EU supermarkets are willing to pay higher prices because of the weather, while our tight-fisted ones insist on the letter of the contract.
