Having worked at St Pancras for 8 years now, I donโ€™t think I ever knew it was there either; worse that it was literally under my feet as I commuted in and out!

Iโ€™ve been to Camley Street Natural Park a few times (which I need to stop calling the Naturist Park. Thatโ€™s something COMPLETELY different)
Itโ€™s St Pancras - Platform 13 sits on top of the high walls to the right, and the cream & brown German Gymnasium restaurant is dead ahead in the picture.

The rings are those that were suspended at St Pancras for the Olympics. Segments are also at Stratford and Ebbsfleet on the main concourses.

Seconded! Top tier thirst traps!
I fear that when the shooting starts, the clampdown and curtailment of rights under the guise of โ€œprotecting law and order from crazed leftiesโ€ wonโ€™t be far behind.

Any excuse for Trump and the cabal to cling desperately to power ๐Ÿ™„

Pet food is usually not covered by SNAP (depending on where you are), but needing to cover more groceries may take up what you would have spent on it. Many animal shelters have pet food pantries, so check your local if you're struggling to feed your pets.

SNAP isn't about "people who don't work." It's about people who don't get paid enough to live.

Of the 40 or so million people who rely on food stamps:

* Two-thirds are children, seniors, or disabled

* Most working-age adults who receive SNAP are employedโ€”but in jobs that pay poverty wages

It seems my work-bound tube was having a bit of a moment this morning!

I felt drained when I woke up, but then again I was lodging in a hotel

The chief executive officer of the USA is raising revenue through import duties without consulting the representatives of the people; exactly 250 years on from the start of the American Revolution.
Sing it, Alanis.
Lodging in London tonight.

Itโ€™s the little things, but this piece of โ€œthank you for your loyalty [Insert Name Here]โ€ did bring a smile to my face

Beth Rigby: "Keir Starmer has changed his top team more than I've had hot dinners."

In two years before Starmer we had 3 PMs, 4 Chancellors, 3 Foreign Secretaries, 5 Home Secretaries, 5 Education Secretaries, 5 Cabinet Secretaries, etc. - total 221 ministerial departures.

Maybe Beth is on a diet.

So you should really watch this. Just 2 minutes. But a window into the truly radical nature of the people Trump is nominating.

When pressed today, the nominee to be Ambassador to South Africa refuses to oppose reinstituting laws to prevent black people from voting in America.
