New rules in my area for recycling. I now can't use the nearest recycling centre (different council) and I can't put organic food waste in my green bin. It seems from the bottom to the very top of this issue we are missing the point.

Truss—outlasted by a lettuce—rocks up to the MAGA PAC blaming “DEI”, trans people and Muslims for pushing her out of office.
Now she wants a Trump-style revolution so Britain becomes a Christian nation with no holidays. Oh, and by the way, she is paid for this crap from public money. #UKPolitics

[We see a close up of a young white male, tanned, white teeth, coiffed hair clearly an influencer on social media. It is an image such as you see when social media posts are shown on the news. In the corner of the screen is named a location: DUBAI. He is staring slightly off-camera for several silent panels of the comic strip. His eyes move slightly. He is having a thought.]

From off-screen a newsreader’s commentary comes:

NEWSREADER:

Extraordinary images here 

of an expat in Dubai 

[The influencer’s eybrows raise slightly]

…Having their first ever geopolitical thought.

[CUT TO a BBC news scene. The BBC newsreader CLIVE MYRIE is talking to an interviewee next to the screen showing the social media influencer’s face. The interviewee’s name is David Jones]. 

CLIVE MYRIE:

To explain the significance of this moment we’re joined by David Jones, our Expat Thoughts correspondent

DAVID JONES:

Clive, this is momentous

It was caught on film at the end of an Instagram post titled: ‘Dubai Is Brilliant’.

[Pointing at the screen, the influencer’s expression still the same]

You can clearly see in the eyebrows here, the dawning realisation that there *might* be something in the world beyond his dickhead self.

It marks a *huge* departure from all the Dubai Expat’s previous thoughts.

CLIVE MYRIE:

Which are…?

DAVID JONES:

You've Got To Get Yourself Out Here Mate, Everything Is So Clean, I Don't Have To Pay Taxes, 
I Am Incurious As To Why I Do Not Have To Pay Taxes, and Spa.

CLIVE MYRIE:

And might we see an expansion of these new Thoughts in coming days?

DAVID JONES:

I think we can expect to see:

“I Deserve To Be Airlifted By A Country I Pay No Tax To”

CLIVE MYRIE:

Mmm.

Remember, if the Greens win, you'll have to go Vegan by law, Kittens and puppies will be banned. Zack Polanski will be declared the fifth horseman of the apocalypse. Him and his trusty horse Lentil will usher us into a new twisted era of bean casseroles and having to walk to the shops.

If you work and you have a job you are taxed.

If you don't work, if you 'earn' your money by being a landlord or a stock trader, you pay half the tax or less than people who work do.

If you are a CEO, if you own a company, you pay virtually no tax at all.

Tax the rich.

Post Office had deal with Fujitsu to fix Horizon errors 19 years ago The emergence of a document contradicts claims made by the Post Office over bugs in its IT system during criminal prosecutions.

Post Office had deal with Fujitsu to fix Horizon errors 19 years ago.

They lied to courts, parliamentary committees.

Postmasters knowingly wrongfully prosecuted, Lives destroyed. Compensation being paid from public purse, none by those who profited from the scandal.

No one charged for conspiracy.

so increasing
poverty & unemployment ...

"Can't help but feel those responsible for Brexit should not, for example, be riding high in the polls with a new party..."
