In the early 1900s the world was plagued by Landlordism, then in the 1950's and 1960's all around the world Social Housing was built and renting became almost non-existent.
But in the 1980's the billionaires decided to bring it back.
We need to end it again.
For good.
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🙏

An image of a person with a pushchair down a residential street near inconsiderately parked cars. The person is wearing striped clothing and walking past a black car. The setting includes brick buildings and a view of houses on a hill in the background.
It's happening! 📢
On Tuesday, MPs will consider an amendment to enable local leaders to ban pavement parking in their area. We need you to help us get this amendment on to the Bill.
Ask your MP to agree to Amendment 265 when it's considered on Tuesday: https://bitly.livingstreets.org.uk/4tMU2Uq
Jeez. Labour MP’s have just voted to give police unprecedented powers to ban recurring protests turning a fundamental freedom into a privilege granted by the state.
No protest movement has ever brought about change through one single march or action. How did it come to this?
Of course speaking out is necessary but not sufficient.
But its the very least we should expect our government to be doing.
It's time to suspend all US military from UK soil.
And the clock is ticking.
It's now been 3 hours since our supposed "ally" Donald Trump threatened genocide on a country of 93 million people.
We've had absolutely nothing from the UK government.
This doesn't come in a vacuum either - every day the US & Israel have been murdering innocent people.
Donald Trump's latest shocking threats against Iran would amount to war crimes.
The UK cannot be complicit. Keir Starmer must withdraw US access to UK air bases now.
How can Starmer have allowed us to be drawn into this war of aggression by the US and Israel?
Without any legal justification or debate in Parliament!
A shockingly bad decision
It's time to abolish the Monarchy.
Absolutely we should fear terrorism and seek to prevent it.
But we should also fear those who use either real terrorism or bogus claims about terrorism to boost their own powers, restrict our freedoms and corrode our democracy.
Both present major threats to public life.
Just going to leave this here
A large stuffed folder of files with the title “Epstein” is seen with what looks, at first glance, like a red page marker sticking out of the bottom. On closer inspection it is the bottom of a Trump red neck tie. French newspapers once again showing the kind of basic journalistic integrity lacking from most US national newspapers - whose collective negligence has helped ensure a man implicated in the world’s most notorious sex trafficking ring gets to remain President. That the orange pedo felon remains in office is a plague on all their houses. Cunts, one and all.
The cartoon that appeared this week on the front page of France’s most influential national newspaper, Le Monde
Brilliant work by the cartoonist, Guffo.

Board of Peace - Season 1
Unhinged
President Sméagol: "Give us that, Nobel, my love..."
Alfred 'Déagol' Nobel: "Why?"
President Smeagol: "Because Obama has one, my love, and I wants it..."
Proceeds to murder everyone.
Not commenting on Venezuela is one thing, but Starmer's ministers not even being willing to say "no of course the US shouldn't invade a peaceful sovereign democratic NATO country, which is one of our closest allies" is quite another.
UK residents can use this template letter from @pscupdates.bsky.social to write to David Lammy: palestinecampaign.eaction.org.uk/LammyHungerS...
@zeteo.com Compare and contrast Donald Trump's response to Rob Reiner's murder with Biden and Harris's responses to Charlie Kirk's murder.
There is no 'both sides'. Just one side - Trump - that is cruel, sociopathic, unhinged.
My family make fun of me when walking along the beach as I’m always on the look out for what the tide is doing! But I grew up along the Bristol Channel so I’m always half expecting it to do something dramatic.
Most people cut off by the tide weren’t swimming — they were walking dogs, exploring rock pools, or taking photos. Stay aware of what the water’s doing, even on dry land.

The Warden is great, but the follow up book, Barchester Towers is even better.
Our dog used to be terrified -now she’s gone deaf and doesn’t notice! I wouldn’t ban fireworks - loved them as a child and so did my son - but I wish they just happened on 5th (so pet owners could prepare) rather than over such a long period these days.

Lewis Goodall, "This is Elon Musk, turning up at a far right rally, basically inciting violence in this country"
"Most people in this country have no desire to go there, or look at it, or have any interest in that sort of rhetoric"
"And yet, we are being pushed and pushed and pushed towards it"
Letter from Ed Davey to Keir Starmer condemning Elon Musk for inciting violence and urging unity to defend democracy.
I've written to Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage, urging them to join me in condemning Elon Musk's dangerous remarks inciting violence yesterday.
As leaders, we must stand together and make clear Musk will face serious consequences for these actions.
