There are 4.5 million children living in poverty in the UK.

Meanwhile, there are more British billionaires than ever before.

I think we should tax the rich to lift children out of poverty. Why is that such a radical idea?

@altontowers.bsky.social was far better today, this afternoon the ride reliability got a lot better. Shame got off to a bad start yesterday but hopefully this afternoon and evening shows it can work!

Mickey 17 isn’t Bong’s best, but its message about workers rights and egotistical billionaires feels perfectly calibrated for the moment. My review:

Do it! Or maybe use one of the meet up groups, I am always happy to meet people if you want but also understand meeting people from the Internet not for everyone.

It was already rumored that last year Oktoberfest had its final season by Fireworks time. Sad because I really liked the event.

Fantabulous evening entertainment
A night in the Alton Towers Hotel just isn't complete without witnessing the fantastic, free evening entertainment that Sir Algenon has arranged just for you! Every night is different, so come down and join the fun to see what's on offer.

Or visit Splash Landings Hotel where the party starts in Ma Garrita's Bar where there's a fantastic selection of evening entertainment and activities hosted by the Calypso Crew. Expect plenty of fun and games, and finish the night off with a Calypso disco.

Be interesting to see if anyone takes @altontowers.bsky.social to small claims over their advertising of Entertainments that won't exist.

You can't get people to book hotels based on things that won't be happening.
