@RupertLowe10 A cigar lounge is all i want, you can force filters and extractors all you want, just somewhere i can go, or set up as a business myself would be perfect
@TiceRichard Shouldn't they be seeking to stand with you, not the other way round? Pretty much shows them and everyone else how worthless and weak you are. Pathetic.
I am married with a young daughter, both myself and my husband work.
-We are not entitled to housing benefit, or any other benefit for that matter.
-We do not get free eye tests, free dental care or free prescriptions.
-Our daughter is not entitled to free school meals, or free breakfast clubs, or free wrap around care, no help with her uniform.
-We don’t get council tax discount, or any other discount.
-We don’t get help with our energy bills, or low cost broadband.
-We don’t get help with the cost of going to the cinema, or days out at theme parks.
-My daughter is unable to play outside unsupervised, because you have failed to secure our borders and the streets aren’t safe.
-If I work more hours, I fall into the higher tax band.
Why should someone like me, vote for someone like you? @UKLabour@andyburnham
What are you offering my family?
@RealBlackIrish Yes its the smug, condescension that gets to me. He makes me think of the south park episode where the prius drivers create their own smug smog...it is so dense he floats on it
That’s genuinely insane. My “favourite” UK-China comparison is Hinkley Point C vs the city of Shenzhen.
> 1980 Shenzhen SEZ announced
> 1981 Hinkley Point C announced
Today Hinkley Point C is still incomplete with yet more delays. Unit 1 expected to come online in 2030 (I highly doubt it).
In comparison Shenzhen went from a network of fishing villages with a GDP of $37 million to a mega city with a GDP of $557 billion. It has two operational nuclear power plants.
It is genuinely hard to describe the state of Britain if you have not visited newly developed parts of the world. Practically nothing has been built in Britain in the last 50 years, it isn’t just stagnating, it’s dying.
I am having a drink this evening with a friend in a Chiswick pub. Two policemen have just come into the pub and asked me to step outside. I have stepped outside and they have threatened me because I tweeted about a councillor banning seating outside pubs in Chiswick. They admit on video (watch it!) that I did not break the law at all. They came to threaten me. To warn me off tweeting about councillors and the council. This is modern Britain. This is the police state. Please, please, please watch this video. It does involve me using very bad language, but this has got to be seen. Police coming out to threaten someone who hasn’t committed a crime. I’m fuming.
@joeroganhq In the UK, the scum government are going to force folic acid in to all flour, so i won't even be able to make my own which we currently do because all bread is like the one on the left.
I bring home a trapped coyote and let it loose in the kitchen.
Hackles up. Teeth bared. Pissing on the floor.
My wife says, "Get it out."
I tell her that is a very unwelcoming and unchristian way to speak about a future house pet.
The children back into the hallway.
I tell them it's a rescue.
I tell them fences are fear.
I tell them cages are barbaric.
I tell them the old rules were cruel.
I tell them it will domesticate in time.
Then I grab my lunchbox and leave them to live with my principles.
When I get home, there is blood on the floor, and the experts who sold me on compassion are already explaining why nobody could have seen this coming.
Anyway, that's Western migration policy.
