Yeah, Kevin Italy, a plumber from Kidderminster.
Sometimes you buy something in a shop just for the pure shock value. I mean… what even are these? Me and the lad are about to find out. Italians everywhere are no doubt horrified.

The hedgehog hole we cut into the perimeter wall a month ago continues to bring in spiky friends.
I’ll never forget watching The Wicker Man with my outer Hebridean mum. “I just don’t know where there got all that wicker from”
“Have you ever danced with the devil in the pale moonlight?”
Yes, impressive, non?
What a place to hit pause on a video.
I feel the people making this argument have asked ChatGPT to make an argument for them and that’s what it came up with.

“Basic income has been shown to reduce health care costs, including an 8.5% reduction in hospitalizations. As Dr. Danielle Martin [the newly elected Liberal MP in today’s by-election] has so pointedly said, “If we discovered a drug that reduced hospitalizations by 8.5%, we’d put it in the water.”
He was saying he was a *joke* doctor, Matt. Or something. It’ll make sense any minu… OH WAIT, HERE COMES ANOTHER ONE….
Couple in the sheets, throuple in the spreadsheets.

That’s some spicy healthcare cover you got there. We don’t have any of that on the NHS.
