Swiss Cow is down as well it sees.

They will give the poor credit, buy now pay later, till there is nothing left to squeeze out of them/us.

Just use a VPN , ProtonMail have a VPN and the basic level is free and works very well at getting around geo locked sites. I use Mullvad, another VPN that is affordable at £5 a month.

Both of those are good but old songs, I think OP was wondering where the current protest music is.

We could not afford to keep him. We got so attached to him and his littermates.His mum had them secretly under a hedge and tuned up with them at the back door. They were pretty feral to start with. But not Kevin, he just marched in behind his mum,found the food and sofa and behaved as if he was born to it. It took us weeks to tame the others, but eventually they were ready to be homed. They are spaced across all our neighbours and Kevin often waits on the garden wall for his mum to come out. I miss them, but the money paid for his mum to be fixed, vaccinated and has a better life now. Sometimes love means letting them go.

I thought this sounded insane but the mirror, the times, the daily mail and others are also reporting it. We live in interesting times.

She might also have a high rent, she will not have got any benefits till her savings fall below 16k and only got full benefits after it falls below 6k.

And then employers moan that nobody wants to work and that young people all leave the country.

Yes, they tried it before, more than once, but it turned into a complete clusterfuck. The placements were meant to teach people new skills to help them find work. But most placements ended up being stocking shelves and other completely unskilled jobs. Employers also didn’t particularly want to be supervising people who clearly didn’t want to be there, let alone spend time teaching them new skills. So these placements just provided cheap labour, since the government paid employers to take them on. It also led to people being fired under spurious reasons only to find themselves being placed themselves at their previous employer.

I agree with everything you said, and I do think the BBC is amazing. But for me and many people, the reality is that it is just too expensive . I am on a very limited budged and simply can’t afford it. I also don’t have any other subscriptions. I wish they scrambled their signal and people could choose to subscribe for a month and then drop it when they can’t afford it. I should not be forced to pay for a service when I don’t want it. I haven’t owned a TV in over a decade.
Furthermore, I did ring them up and informed them of not needing a licence, and it worked for a while but then they started with the threatening letters again, they are pretty nasty in tone, which I find appealing.

This woman is almost cartoon level type of evil. Even for a Tory.

I agree, banning a breed doesn’t work. Backyard breeders will just move on to another breed. It used to be rottweilers for a while. The thing is, banning a breed is easy and plays to certain parts of the public. Actually, sorting the issue properly…now that takes time and money and is not easy.

They are so out of touch it would be comical if it wasn’t such a desperate issue.

Proton mail is excellent and comes with a decent VPN that is free for personal use.
