Sure, why not 🤷. Let's go with that. Nice and simple.

If we assume that Ingerland is an acceptable spelling of England (and no other nation exists in the UK 😠) then how about Inglewood?

That way we'll be immortalised by 2pac in the same song as Hollywood!

We need a tax system that takes not just the headlines into account but assess the relative benefits of various degrees of tax in various industries and individuals vs what they can or can't contribute back in terms of other economic activity that benefits the economy as a whole.

Simply saying we need more tax (or less if you're Liz Truss inclined) is a, frankly, GCSE level of understanding of the economy and should be discouraged.

If border control pulls me aside and demands my proof of residency, and I can't access the internet, I may be stuck in a small room for hours or days,

How likely are you to not be able to access the internet at a UK border you might be traveling through? Seriously.

Also, have you heard of a download for offline usage?

Ha! What the Swiss don't realise is that we can simply tax everyone else more. Fools 😂.

Ma'am... MA'AM! Please listen to the inflight announcements. They're for your safety! Look at it. LOOK!

Killed four of them. Then was captured in the South Pacific. They took my shins. But I escaped. Hid under a pile of bodies for two weeks. When I got back they sewn my feet back to my knees so I could walk again.

What this doesn't tell you is that he was shot six times not by Nazis.... but by friendly fire 🤦‍♂️.

But we'll just take the next 1% and make them pay 31% of the taxes. Problem solved! /s

I dunno, I use Bitwarden and Firefox on Android so pretty none mainstream and don't have any of the issues this clown does. Seems like a click bait article for the sake of it.

What faction of the Labour party do you think are briefing against Starmer and Gray? It feels to me this is entirely self inflicted due to indiscipline.

 

Why do these awful things keep happening to Stella Creasy?

 

Personally I think he needs to be sensible and follow Brown's lead by keeping the economy steady and stable in the first term whilst driving down inflation and reducing interest payments. Stability first then growth and spending if allowable in the second term.

Some of you might disagree 😉.

 

Starmer chooses the EU anthem Ode To Joy as the official song of the Labour party replacing Oh Jeremey Corbyn which was previously famously sampled by the White Stripes in their 2003 hit Seven Nation Army.

 

UK centric because this is probably related to dampness in the room which I am guessing is a common issue for a lot of us. One of my doors has, I can only describe as, swelled up such that it doesn't close snuggly. I'm guessing it's because of the moisture it's taken on or something. It just hits against the door frame. So whilst it is "closed" it never really fits into the frame and you can see gaps around the edges. I should mention the door is wood. No idea what type, it's fairly light so cheap wood I think 🤔.

What's the best thing to do here? Sand it down? Any tips on that? I've never done that before. Repaint after sanding? Get one of those furry door strips to stop heat leaking through the newly sanded door? Should I leave it because I might do more damage than its worth in the long run?

Cheers.
