The ONS just confirmed UK inflation rate 3.3% in March.
So, that's sustained +3% for all of Q1 this year.
And - because we're ruled by a Banking Mafia - you'll now be told that *because* your food & services are getting more expensive, it's essential to jack your mortg "to fight inflation".
Pet insurance racket.
Insurance policies not clear about what is being sold, hidden exceptions.
Price rises after claims made,
Policies terminated when claims made, complaints rising.
People turning to pet euthanasia.
And industry pushes deregulation, which always leads to predatory practices.
Screenshot of a tweet: God Save Great Britain & @GSGB01 WOW: The NHS has ordered staff not to use the phrase 'It's raining cats & dogs' in fear of upsetting people from other cultures and religion. Britain has gone absolutely
Screenshot of a tweet: @Jenny_1884 The NHS has ordered staff not to use the term "It's raining cats & dogs" as it may offend foreigners. Tough If you don't like it jog on is what I think The NHS needs to get back to concentrating on making people better & not being more concerned about offending
For the love of God, could the "common sense" brigade PLEASE develop some actual COMMON SENSE?!
No, the NHS has not ordered staff not to use the term "it's raining cats and dogs" for fear of either upsetting or offending anyone...
Please engage your brains for a minute🙏

Thread in response to Palantir’s appalling attack on pluralism as valueless relativism.
TL:DR It isn’t. Quite the opposite.

What on earth is the government doing having any business with these people?
A large amount of tadpoles in a garden pond
Good crop of tadpoles this year 😁
MP introduces Bill to prevent England water companies from "delaying" payment of fines.
Companies negotiate fines, which are later deferred/waived. It is a licence to abuse.
Execs rewarded for boosting profits through illegal practices, face no fines.
Bill won't become law. Govt/Tories oppose it.

Snoozing in next door's garden!
Ahhhhgghhhh!
I recognise many of the places you feature but not this one. Where is it? I moved away from Ramsgate in 1988 so quite a bit of my local knowledge is out of date!
Of course the players can fix this in an instant, by not pulling an opponent's hair...

If only...😐 😂
This is why I love cricket.
A veritable carpet of bluebells at Hatchlands Park this morning.
Looks like Budapest is back on the tourist map!
It’s time to find out what’s on the Pillar of Popularity… how many of these have you read?
When Angela Rayner underpaid £40,000 stamp duty on her flat, Richard Tice said it was "morally completely indefensible” and she should immediately resign if she had “any moral decency”.
Now we learn he personally made £91,000 in excess payments by failing to pay the tax his company legally owed
A grey carpet with two single green cat paw prints on it
Can confirm only one paw was used in this crime
A paint roller tray with green paint and a single cat paw print in the middle
Turns out that cats and painting also don't mix.
Yes, that's a paw print on the middle of the paint tray.

A tuxedo cat 'helping' with knitting by chasing and chewing the wool.
Apparently cats and knitting don't mix...

Visited this afternoon. A happy occasion, wife purchased 2 books and got to stroke a doggo!
Said Frodo, as Rosie called time at the Green Dragon a whole 10 minutes early...

Fucking heartbreak tonight.
Mini Moog (9yrs) telling me there’s a new kid in his class he’s made friends with.
He’s Lebanese and his family fled after their house was hit by a bomb. His best friend lived next door and was killed by it.
This is what the headlines and tweets are. Fucking dead kids!
Over 100 freshly dug graves in Minab for the schoolgirls are seen from above with families gathered around in mourning
Many networks saying Trump is about to escalate to war crimes, ignoring the 165 schoolgirls he killed in a double tap strike. On day one.
The single greatest US military atrocity since My Lai in Vietnam has been relegated to an afterthought.
Mainstream media has horrifically failed us.
Also, chairs are not for humans!
A garden pond with a small waterfall and blue sky
Sun out, chores done, now in my happy place by the pond 😊
Yup, sounds about right.
