Ever rebought something you donated? From a different charity shop? I almost did once but then remembered that if donated it for a reason. Seeing it was pretty cool though.

"Immediate access to social housing". 🤣🤣🤣
More accurately: immediate access to a social housing waiting list they will likely never get to the top of.

HOWEVER if somebody picks up any of my beloved family of pens, and, worse, if they look like they are going to try & write with it...all bets are off. Unless it cost me less than £3 on Ebay, it only holds about 10 ml ink tops, has a super fine nib & I use it primarily for annotations. But still.

I started out like it was so precious but then the urge to write with it took over. Then a boss I once had used a little leather pouch for his matching Montblanc ballpoint & fountain pen & was so fastidious about keeping them safe. Like, mate, collector or embracer of scribing. CHOOSE.

Photo of black with gold trim Montblanc Meisterstuck fountain pen Chopin limited edition on a wood effect background. The cap clip resembles a piano key and the gold rim around the bottom of the cap is engraved with music from a Chopin music.  manuscript.

But... that's normal, right? I do have 1 v expensive pen that I take out w me but only in v controlled situations after somehow misplacing it for TWO MONTHS in a RIDDOR report binder at work that I rarely used. Montblanc Meisterstuck Chopin. Cos the clip IS A PIANO KEY. Had it 20 years. Writes great

I'm human. That response is basically what some Reform guy said on Radio 4 Today show earlier this morning.

They didn't expect to win, they're delighted with their result. She's going to have a tough job cos she can't pander to brown folk or talk about Gaza anymore, she's going to have to face reality & sort all the problems the UK has had since before she was born. Reform would have had it done already.

Erm, why are you asking instead of BUYING A NEW FOUNTAIN PEN? (Also don't forget you may need to consider new ink(s)).

TBF, if you want to worship with others & that's the only way with a shrieker then 👍 But "mothers room" I'm not down with. "Until your kid stops channelling Satan Room" maybe? And dad's can also deal with that.

When Britain colonised others, it was called progress.
Now diversity at home is called “being colonised.”
The double standard is 🤯🤯🤯

Petition: By-elections to be called automatically when MPs defect to another party When an MP decides they want to defect to another party a by-election should be automatically triggered to allow the constituents the opportunity have their democratic right to agree or not with their...

Calling this an “established constitutional principle” ignores how many of us actually vote - for parties & manifestos, not individuals like it's a popularity contest.

If an MP defects, let us have our say. #UKPolitics #Accountability #MPDefection #VoterRights

Text from Government reponse to petition: "Government responded:
There are no plans to make changes to the current constitutional arrangements, whereby voters elect individual candidates, and not the political party they represent.
It is an established constitutional principle that at UK General Elections, voters cast their vote for individual candidates, and not the political party they represent.
When a Member of Parliament (MP) decides to change their party affiliation, it is for the MP to decide whether to continue to sit in the House of Commons (as a representative of their new political party or as an independent MP) or to stand down from their seat to trigger a by-election and, if they wish, seek re-election.
There are no plans to make changes to the current arrangements.
Cabinet Office"

Is this democracy or MPs keeping their own options open? You vote for one party. Your MP switches to another. The UK Govt says that’s fine, no need to check if that's what the constituency wants. You might have to wait up to 5 years to make your view known at the ballot box.
