Grenfell should hound them everyday, they were in charge when it happened and now they are demanding more deregulation of safety when building properties.

and he said they don't before going off on a screed about carrying surfboards under one arm while cycling and quoting other legislation. I told him I know the Regulations don't prohibit surfboards (they are silent on carrying anything) so why when faced with a perfectly sensible photo why didn't

Another credentials adjacent man (of course) over on LinkedIn in response to a perfectly fine photo of a cycle with a surfboard rack says that people should read the Bicycle Construction and Use Regulations. I asked him where the regulations said you cannot carry a surfboard on a bike

Every time you read the words Islamic, Muslim etc replace it with any other religion and then truly appreciate how unacceptably Islamophobic the UK is. There is an event being held in Portadown council building preaching about the dangers of an "Islamic invasion". Fucking disgusting.

As for pre-1948 history, see: - The Balfour Declaration - The Aliyahs - The British Mandate period in which the British actively helped build the settler-colonial project of Israel and suppressed acts of Arab resistance

The history of Palestine and Zionism didn’t begin on October 7th. The Ongoing Nakba began in 1948 when Israel expelled 750,000 Palestinians from their homes and destroyed over 500 Palestinian villages. And for decades before the Nakba, the settler-colonial project was in the process of developing.

Private equity owners of Boots sell it to another PE group from Canada for £6.74bn. Debt-laden PE has no long-term interest. Everything is a commodity. No UK tax levied on dividends paid to foreign owners, which sweetens cash extraction. PE dominates town centres, when it crashes ...

It was never clear to me as a kid how ten green bottles could hang on a wall, - whether there was some kind of hook or loop system going on etc - but now I’m wondering whether “hanging” means, you know, like, hanging out, although I’m not sure that sense of the word existed in Olden Days (morning)
