All you do is apply tax law equally, regardless of politics, you hold to account those who need to be held to account. No hyperbole, no special treatment. Just spitting straight facts. KOKO 030
You dont need to know this @effthiseffthateffu.bsky.social · 02/10/2026You are so much fun to follow. You spill the tea and bring receipts and it's so refreshing to have someone so impartial. I love that you just do your thing and don't play favourites. I mean it is how it should be, but it's so often is not that it's important to recognise it. You are like Mamdani 1/2 291

You dont need to know this @effthiseffthateffu.bsky.social · 13/07/2026I was very specifically talking about tikka masala curry, which is not an Indian dish, but was created by Indian immigrants to the UK. As for curry in India it has been a staple for far longer than 1870. The British invaded in the 1600s and curry was common then. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicken...en.wikipedia.orgChicken tikka masala - Wikipedia 000

You dont need to know this @effthiseffthateffu.bsky.social · 13/07/2026Can I offer up a suggestion? Read the book first, then listen to the audiobook. You get a different perspective and, in my opinion, it is the closest you can get to that feeling of reading a book you love for the first time. You know the story, but the journey is a little different. 000

You dont need to know this @effthiseffthateffu.bsky.social · 12/07/2026Further reading indicates Japanese curry comes from the late 1800s when the British brought curry powder to Japan. They used the spice to make their own dish and it was popularized in Japan. around the 1960s, which compares to tikka masala in the UK from the 1970s. So still no failure to recreate. 100
You dont need to know this @effthiseffthateffu.bsky.social · 12/07/2026I mean that has to be bollocks. Curry in England was created by Indian and Pakistani immigrants. So I doubt they were having issues recreating food their families have cooked for generations. Yes things like a tikka masala are anglicized but there was no failure to recreate. 100

The problem comes with the predatory nature of bookmakers, who will take advantage of problem gamblers. And they will also refuse bets from successful gamblers. If you regularly win they will ban or limit your stake size. 000
You dont need to know this @effthiseffthateffu.bsky.social · 12/07/2026The tax is paid on the ticket you buy not the winnings, so everyone pays a small amount instead of winners paying a huge sum. Fun fact you used to be able to choose when to pay the tax on a bet. You either paid it on the stake, think it was 9%, or if not you paid 9% on the winnings. 100
