@SantiTorAI How much for a pergola?

I built one in a day for like £500

@TheParaInvestor And the maintenance savings are also insane

[Simon Jones @whosijones]

@TheParaInvestor Went from an 8v daza rs3 to a tesla model 3 performance.

Saved a fortune - not that I've seen any of it was all gobbled up by the cost of living increases.

Although, It used to be exempt from road tax and shortly it' gonna get a Pay per mile fee too.

29 years ago, the British economy was larger than India and China combined

[The Mercian @TheMercianNews]

🚨NEW: Two historic UK private schools bought by a Chinese company are set to close their doors months after its owners were accused of asset-stripping.

Durham High School in Durham and Ruthin School in Denbighshire, North Wales, will not reopen to pupils after the end of the academic term in July.

Ruthin School was founded in 1284 and Durham High School was founded in 1884.

@PositivFuturist @DanJones89 the faith school scam

[Chris Rose @ArchRose90]

“The suspect appears to be motivated by anti-Muslim hatred.”

Usually people like Shabana urge people not to speculate on the motives, even when it’s blindingly obvious. It could be due to “mental health” after all?

Funny how speculation is allowed when it suits a narrative.

The Bank of England openly tracks private sector pay as the key gauge of domestically‑generated inflation pressure.

So what does it tell you when private pay growth drops to its lowest rate in years while public sector pay continues to outpace it?
It tells you the productive side of the economy is being choked while the protected side is still on a guaranteed escalator.

Businesses are cutting back, households are tightening belts, but the state has insulated itself from the very conditions it helped create through higher taxes, higher regulation and relentless cost‑pushing.

This is not “fairness”; it is a transfer from risk‑takers to risk‑free employees, enforced by HMRC and dressed up as social justice.

I’m actually a child online safety expert and was one of the pioneers in this space with Club Penguin and so I feel uniquely positioned to critique this.

The groomer problem is real but it’s also vastly overstated. The far larger issue we saw at Penguin was suicidality or reports of sexual abuse in the home.

There is no solution for lazy/bad parenting. You can implement all the ID laws you want but if parents are going to just hand kids their phones unlocked, those kids will have access to all the same things the parents have unfettered.

What I found is that these draconian safety laws actually make it harder to be an honest operator of kids apps because on one hand it’s so much legal risk and so much user friction that it simply becomes uninvestible as a business.

Parents will just lie to let their kids use the unfettered internet. For example, I have a friend who works in mobile gaming who has two kids, one above and one below the age limit but separated by just 2 yrs, and the two wanted to play and chat together on Roblox - which is reasonable. To do this, he just verified that his younger kid is old enough for the chat feature when he’s not.

This happens all the time and will happen with these laws to. How far do we want to go with this? Scan the face of the user in real-time to make sure it’s not a kid using the device? We could do that but it feels like a massive unwanted intrusion of privacy.

That’s how you know this law isn’t about kids. COPPA and GDPR-K and so forth already make it illegal to allow chat and other grooming vectors to kids.

What’s really being done here is trying to eliminate online anonymity. And this is a far bigger issue that goes to core speech rights because if you cannot criticize the govt anonymously and if wrong speech is a crime then it becomes easy to identify all the detractors of the govt in power, and ban, fine or jail them for speech crimes.

Starmer has already been doing this and he wants to do it at a much bigger scale. Starmer won’t even acknowledge the problem of actual grooming gangs in Britain’s neighborhoods but he’s worried about online grooming?

No he’s not, and this hypocrisy gives away the game. What he wants is to kill online anonymity so he can enforce censorship of his unpopular policies. No politician should have this power.

Two men adopt a healthy, happy baby. His grandmother, who looks after his sister, objects. She asks for the baby to be fostered for a few months until she is well enough to take him. This is denied.

His adoptive "father" abuses him until he dies.

UK is a police state

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

This censorship law is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. The real goal is to enable the UK government to track everyone.

[Queen Bee @KingBobIIV]

Since Blair - 30 years ago - people voted against mass immigration.

Every election, they got up, got dressed, found a pilling station and voted to end mass immigration.

30 years they did that.

Nothing changed. In fact, it got worse.

So they organised marches and protests, and events and petitions and wrote to their MPs and tried every single thing they could legally, to tell the powers that be, that they wanted an end to mass immigration.

The state has deliberately ignored and removed all legal options from the British and Irish people to legally, peacefully, have their demands answered.

THEY, and nobody else, have created and caused division and riots and fury.

The toothpaste can not go back in the tube. We are where we are because, and only because, of 30 years of failed government.

Girls locked in dog cages, girls raped by dogs, girls passed around as rape toys at Eid celebrations.

Everyone involved needs to hang.

Especially including the regime anti-racists who enabled all of it.

Today, we remember a legend.

On this day in history, Harambe would have celebrated another birthday. An icon that became part of internet history, American culture, and an entire generation’s timeline.

Tomorrow marks 10 years since we lost him. Ten years since the moment the world stopped scrolling and collectively mourned something bigger than a meme.

He became a symbol of loyalty, strength, chaos, unity, and the strange beauty of the internet bringing millions of people together for one cause: never forgetting Harambe.

Everyone remembers where they were when they heard the news. And somehow, a decade later, his legacy still lives on.

Gone, but never forgotten.
Rest easy to a true patriot. 🕊️🇺🇸
