Finally of course…take those people away and watch private Landlords like, to pick one at random, Lee Andersen MP squirm as the house prices for rental property collapses.

Yes, the British politician Lee Anderson, MP for Ashfield and Chairman of Reform UK, was a landlord. i UK Parliament +1
According to The Register of Members' Financial Interests, he registered a residential property in Ashfield that provided rental income or was valued over £100,000 between March 2021 and March 2022. He has frequently spoken about property management and the private rental sector in Parliament, including introducing proposals to strictly license and train managers of Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs).

Incorrect. It’s 431,000 households 10% of rental sector (4.3m) where principal is non UK 2023/24, around half of those EU, and does not say if other household members are/ are not British by birth. Because marriages and partnerships are a thing. questions-statements.parliament.uk/written-ques...

Tables of data from government answer to 30p Lee question on rental sector principal nationalities, showing 89% UK, 5% EU, 6% other from English Housing Survey, and nationality of other household members is not collected

Reading a Terry Pratchett book is literally just:
Here's a funny little joke
Here's something that you can tell is a joke but don't get and will only figure out five years later
Here's a surprisingly cool fantasy concept
Here's a unique and well written simile
Here's a lil guy
Here's something that has aged depressingly well into the modern day Here's something that has aged remarkably queer into the modern day Here's a character that you can barely understand what he's saying
Here is the most terrifying and deeply disturbing concept you have ever heard, casually mentioned
Here is the dumbest fucking pun you've ever heard but in the best way Here is a quote so profound that it makes you view morality and the world in a different way
Here is a plot twist that you can't tell if it's genius or stupid
Congratulations! You've finished the book! It has fundamentally changed you as a person and you will never be the same!

Space Cowboys. So bad. Also a really bad first (and turned out last) choice for a date pic.

Indeed sadness. Turned out a hollow man, forgetful of the power of positivity, a winner still chasing votes rather than setting out policy, capable of being a giant on the international stage yet adrift on an island of strangers in the face of 2025 racist marches. His departure removes an absence.

"Yesterday, upon the stair, I met a man who wasn't there.
He wasn't there again today.
I wish, I wish he'd go away..."

Just googled how big are largest data centres. The response for translating square feet to square metres is out by a factor of 10. Largest centre at 9.94m square metres feet is a bit less than 1m sq metres. Now seems AI summaries can’t be trusted even to do basic maths…
