I think that where they need to go involves a police car, courts and prison officers.

Since its foundation in 1824 the bravery of Royal National Lifeboat Institution volunteers has saved more than 146,700 lives at sea. Hundreds of those volunteers have died attempting to save others. They are the best of us.

And in any case what do you lose. Rich who pay little tax leave if asked to pay tax. Zero difference. A few less gas guzzlers on the road.

I’d be willing to bet that the number of ‘indigenous’ people killed by immigrants across the whole of Europe is less than the number of children killed by US citizens in school shootings in the US. Stick in your lane JD. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

The actor Michael Sheen used all his money to start a fake debt collecting business, buy 900 people in Wales's debt, and excused it. If Musk bought ALL $194 billion in medical debt in the U.S. and excused it in the same way, he'd still be the world's riches man by hundreds of billions of dollars.

The architects were sitting comfortably in an office. The men on the steel were the unnamed ones producing the value. Time should photograph the equivalent workers actually responsible for the wealth these “architects” have amassed.

I don’t think the warning from the gambling industry that increasing taxes will mean betting shops closing is quite the threat they think it is. Problem gambling is up there with tobacco in societal harm.

I will keep banging on about this… …because it is clear that the UK political & media class is utterly broken. To the point whereby local democracy, trust in the police, quality analysis, honesty, and public safety are all being deliberately sacrificed.
