Ouch. I spent a lot of money replacing mine a couple of years back.

Send these people to Lewes on the 5th and see what goes on

Yes, Hatfield, Potters Bar, Paddington/Ladbroke Grove all very close to each other. Before that, Purley and Clapham were pretty horrible too. Thankfully a very long time since a really nasty one.

I live in a village of about 2,000. We are not "like Hobbits". Where are the extra 1,000 going to come from, where would they live?

Where's your pint glass's poppy? WHERE IS IT?

Easy answers like that aren't going to fix this

20% rate needs to go up, personal allowance probably needs to go down, but nobody dare do it.

Is this more to do with the demographics of Westiminster vs pretty much everywhere else? I doubt they have many SEN school pupils to ferry about and educate in special schools or lots of adult social care to pay for.

Share and enjoy!

Love how he's got a little extra one on his hat

Also the rent up front ban is just going to result in a "no" for these people instead. I don't see how that is better.

How will the discrimination ban work? When 10 people say yes to a property, the landlord is going to pick the "professional couple". I've got around this for my family of 6 by bidding, but now looks like that will be banned too.

Not sure I've seen anywhere like that

I like them. As long as there's still somewhere for people to do it the slow and old fashioned way and I can bypass them and just buy my stuff I don't see a problem.

Our Lidl has self checkouts

Entire economy where I live in Sussex feels like it's based on how long it takes to get to London Bridge/Canary Wharf by train for this reason

Boring answer: security patches

...

I got 40 and I'm 45. I'll take it. And I have a bit more than the average pot as well.

Pretty sure this exact scenario was depicted in Black Mirror, White Christmas

Apparently people are being forced to go to Dubai now. No other option.

I'd imagine it means immigration forced on the British or some bollocks

Complete bollocks. Give everyone a phone and more phone calls get made, give everyone a gun and lots more people get shot. Simple as that.

My take on it: bsky.app/profile/andr...

Yeah maybe not. Don't think it can do any harm though. Now young people can communicate so easily online there just isn't as big an incentive to spend money seeing people IRL as much, not sure anything can change that.

Sorry that was a bit rude, but I am sad about the number of pubs closing around here, it's part of our culture and it's fading away

I usually like her output but she can piss off with this take

No way I'd risk riding on that particular road in the dark, I've seen how people drive on it.

Honestly think these can only work in towns and cities though. I do not want to take this on the unlit 50mph road to my local supermarket www.google.co.uk/maps/@50.989...
