If you're advocating dismantling the triple lock on British state pensions rather than greater taxation on the super-rich or rejoining the EU then you I'm afraid are part of the problem in this country no matter how liberal you might pretend to be. You're just another cosy middle-class useful idiot.

Anyway it's a good day to come and boromir #Tolkien books. 📚

Isn't it the job of government to prepare the country for these events. Maybe all they are worried about is keeping the AI data centres running. Btw I've long since realised that the UK gov has no intention of helping the population with anything

I have opened Outlook on my office laptop to see an email titled "Reaction Daily Digest" listing emails where someone has replied with a thumbs up or suchlike.
WTF is the point in that. I mean I know they replied to that when Outlook was open yesterday. Maybe this modern toss sketch is realistic.

King Charles inherited £650m tax free, gets £354m a year tax free from the tax payer including £132m personal spending money and has an estate worth £22bn that’s never taxed.

This NIMBY attitude is so common. Many decades ago I was a trainee and asked to take a model of a building to a public meeting regarding a sewage pumping station. Residents wanted it somewhere else. It was built where the outfall from their shit flowed into the sea.

The most terrifying thing about the one in the dark dungarees is that it looks awfully like Boris Johnson 😲
Today is #NationalTeddyBearDay which reminded us of that time we found this old book full of terribly terrifying teddies to traumatise and terrorise.
Sweet dreams everyone. Don't have nightmares.

I downloaded the app with user manual etc for my car. After inputting my car info I have been informed that there is an update for my infotainment system. I can do it myself with a usb stick apparently. I think I may be about to go down a rabbit hole which I might never climb out of. Oh well 😂
