Love walking my four-legged friend, nature and reading. Try not to take myself or life too seriously. Worried about the direction of travel in politics. Should possibly mention I'm a bit pants at the engagement side of social media...

Free UK Late Payment Interest Calculator For Unpaid Invoices Calculate statutory interest on overdue UK invoices instantly. Free calculator covering the Late Payment Act 1998, with optional court-ready PDF report £3.99.

Freelancers, small businesses and so on have a statutory right under uk law to charge interest on unpaid bills. But the calculation can be complex. So my old friend the brill actress and podcaster Laura Shavin, built a calculator. It’s clever.

I just signed a petition to stop the rollout of facial recognition surveillance in the UK.

The Government and shops are scanning us without clear laws in place, using our faces like barcodes.

It feels really invasive. Can you take 30 seconds to sign it too? you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/st...

Close up of 926 standing on frozen ground.

All federally elected Politicians should be classified as "at will" employees and paid by the hour with no politician earning more than the average hourly wage in there own state.

Also no politician should be eligible for health care any better than the average for the state they rep.

the creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to stop doing culture wars about which one should go on the banknotes

Shaking with anger: I came home to discover that these malted milk biscuits have cows on them and not Horatio Nelson! In this time of war!? We really need to do something about Big Biscuit being all woke.

The word 'Labour' in red letters with a bloody hand print.

I'm a parent, a grandparent, and a dog mum.

I'm a writer, a nature lover, and a local history lover who slowly travels the country on a little boat that I live on.

I do no harm to anybody. I just want to live out my little life in peace.

But Labour want me eradicated because I happen to be trans.

I’m essentially really boring. I have a pretty standard 9-5 office job like almost everyone else.

I’m learning the piano, love walks in nature and used to be majorly into photography.

I’ve never hurt anyone, I just wanted a quiet life but I’m trans, so Labour don’t think I should exist anymore.

It's a war I cannot explain.

A war that I deny is a war at all.

A war that justifies the peace prize FIFA made up for me.

A war that I have already won, but which will keep going indefinitely.

And my strategy?

Message the enemy on social media and ask them to stop being mean.

This being not long after my granddad set fire to the coat of the stranger sitting next to him on a Nottingham-to-Mablethorpe coach trip by putting his lit pipe in the stranger's coat pocket, believing it was his own.

A handicap blue and white painted sign on the asphalt of a parking space. The symbols are meant to be a pregnant women and a baby stroller, but it doesn't look like that. It looks like pac man being killed with scissors next to a dancer

there's so much bad in the world but there's also people who lift up and carry an elderly bat around every day so he can pretend he's flying again, and that's the part of the world I think is worth fighting for
