I'm less worried about the import of people than the export of wealth. Ratcliffe refers to himself as a "wealth creator". His refinery gets millions from UK taxpayer but he then pays (0%) tax in Monaco instead. Freeloader. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

A bloke on the Shell Recharge support number tells me this station is in Bexley when I'm standing next to it in Walthamstow. It isn't working but it was very keen to hang on to my charging cable for a few minutes.

2.90 for some hot water from Starbucks at a motorway services. I got "Grande" water because they express amounts of liquid using mysterious terms instead of the perfectly effective SI units available for this purpose. Imagine working to obfuscate to make a living instead of improving the product.

This story is fucking wild and damning, and yet the most insane part is that they were trying to go after her for documenting racist abuse THAT WAS DIRECTED AT HER PERSONALLY
On 13 March 2021, Buzzard-Quashie was arrested at her home in Ealing, west London, on suspicion of sending malicious communications after posting on Instagram some racist messages she had received from former acquaintances.

#TIL the Dartford crossing is not covered by TFL autopay. Seems like a misuse of the Congestion Charge logo to me. It's the sort of thing someone would do if they wanted to maximise the number of penalty charges paid by innocent motorists.

Car manufacturer's websites are very annoying. They're organised by model, and you have to dig down into each model to find the details of the features each one has. What I want is to say here are the features I want... show me which of your models has them.
