Houses without lounges are a reality for renters

Nearly a third of homes advertised on a property sharing website had no living room.

Competence? The winter fuel allowance? Gaza? Ridiculous pledges on taxation?

Fentanyl and coke are the new “weapons of mass destruction” lie. It’s Iraq all over again, folks. It’s always about controlling the oil.

A tweet from Morgan J. Freeman states:
“FACT: Venezuela is NOT a major producer of cocaine.
They do not have large cocaine factories.
They do not produce fentanyl either.
What Venezuela does have is the world’s largest oil reserves.”

There may be many good people who work for the Home Office. There may be many useless, uncreative, unmotivated people who were recruited mainly or mostly on the basis of their academic achievements, plus their ability to 'fit in' with the prevailing customs, culture and beliefs.

In most countries their public buildings have special protections & can only be altered or demolished after lengthy and widespread consultation. Not so in USA apparently.

They say he's a TV 'personality' and a property 'developer'. Not the usual qualifications for a self-styled king of the world.

Millions of young people grew up to vote for a compulsive liar who also happens to be a narcissistic, machiavellian, sadistic, psychopathic insurrectionist, and convicted sex offender. Three times.
This is the guy who ordered the demolition of an entire wing of the White House. To build a ballroom.

The demented fucking idiot just walks right up to the front of the band and stops, staring at them. He needs a seeing-eye Prime Minister to gather his bearings and realize you must turn left or right when encountering obstacles.

Mentally he's a fucking potato.
