@frozenwarning@SophyRidgeSky Anyone with a brain between their ears could tell he was a wrong-un, and even if that wasn’t the case, his overly verbose, vacuous, word-salad lectures were utterly devoid of substance.
@sleeepysandy Of course! Presumably some kind of religious conversion campaign in the manner of Christian missionaries or Islamic conquests would do? That’s how it works, isn’t it?
@v_j_freeman They’ll go for one of the big taxes, on the basis it will raise more and quickly, and that they didn’t pledge personally not to raise them.
At this rate, Burnham may have a shorter reign than the lettuce.
@v_j_freeman Interestingly, these excuses are not made for serving or ex-military personnel if they are Israeli. The argument that they are still legitimate targets whether actively serving or not, simply by virtue of being citizens of a country with national service, is regularly made.
@seandw14@v_j_freeman@Trivium21c The increase from 13.8% to 15% plus the threshold drop from £9.1k to £5k is roughly an extra £800pa per FT employee, on top of other cost increases. So employers will look for more experienced workers 🤷🏻♀️
@sheebadigeebies My year 2(?) teacher called my parents to complain about my audacity after I contradicted her claim that the Isle of Wight was a different country, and insistance that no, we hadn’t been through passport control to get there.
@v_j_freeman 50 staff? Based on the earlier job ads, this would be around £2.5m plus employment taxes and expenses, not counting payments to the influencers? How many influencers?
Surely this counts as political advertising and would need to be declared as such.
@v_j_freeman Feels very much like what we already have - a kind of ‘we are your betters’ bait & switch. Except Burnham’s crew make no attempt to pretend there’s a manifesto-type plan.
@MySmuttyMind@simonmaechling It’s the ‘no seed oil’ brigade - they’re all bonkers. Much discussion of how homemade mayo made from bacon grease or butter/tallow is better for health than plant oils….
