I think Rachel Reeve's increased tax on online gambling is good but she should have gone further. Most of it is based off-shire anyway.
I also think all TV and radio advertising for it should be banned in the same way that ads for cigarettes and alcohol are.
Just sayin'

CONGRATULATIONS to everyone who paid $499 for a $165 #Trump Phone, with his name on it, and some gold plastic. Made in China.
Your THIRD scheduled Delivery Date is today, after multiple delays.
Has it been delivered? No.
Was it always a con? Yes.
Did you even pay #Trump Tariffs on it? Yes.

American Education, Part 742.
"The Singapore-Thailand Border".
*Cough*. There is no "Singapore-Thailand Border" because the countries are not adjacent to each other.
Regardless, Americans will believe this bullshit because most haven't made it out of state.

Back in 1995 I was searching for a copy of the last novel in the 'Orion' series by Ben Bova.
Had it in search lists with book search agencies (yes, they were a thing)
In San Francisco, first morning, walked out of my hotel, took a left, and a bookstore within 50 feet had it in the f*cking window.

This is who she was.
Passionate in her beliefs. Fiercely loyal to her friends. Never afraid to let you know exactly where she stood. The best.
Fun Fact: I remember arguing with her over which of us hated Piggy the most. I was sure I did. She disagreed. It remains unresolved...

Farage : “Of course our budget numbers can’t add up. But it doesn’t matter, because neither can the people who vote for us.”
If you read one thing today, make it The Bear’s withering dismantling of Reform UK’s “budget” with the precision of someone who understands numbers… unlike the people who wrote it. A a masterclass in calm annihilation that's ruthlessly savage. 🔥
