When Angela Rayner underpaid £40,000 in stamp duty, Richard Tice said it was "morally completely indefensible” and she should resign if she had “any moral decency”. Now we learn he set up four shell companies that let him avoid paying £100,000 he owed in tax and to then transfer the cash to Reform

Lelia's aim is to raise awareness that Ireland allows US military use of Shannon for refueling on the way to commit war crimes in Gaza and elsewhere. She's calling on the Taoiseach to meet her and to end Irish support to US forces. Walk with her (me & Malcolm did!). End US military use of Shannon

- LOSE THEIR TICKETS/RESERVATIONS
- OVERTIGHTEN LUG NUTS, STRIP SPARK PLUGS
- GIVE THEM INCORRECT BUT REAL-SOUNDING
INFORMATION
- RECORD THEM WITH YOUR PHONES
- DISRUPT THEM WITH LOUD NOISES (CAR ALARMS, MUSIC, BANGING METAL) AND BRIGHT LIGHTS (FLASHLIGHTS, HEADLIGHTS)
- SHAME THEM
Fuck yeah

I do want to shout-out my fellow sociologists, who have collectively created a discipline so woke that not a single one of our introductory textbooks can make it past Florida's censors. Great work everyone.
The Board of Governors decided, unilaterally, that no published textbook in the field of sociology could be used in compliance with the law for an Intro to Sociology class. None.
Victor: There's not a single existing textbook on the market that could be used that would qualify under state law?
Zachary: Correct.
