Although part of a different topic in the thread, this is quite appropriate on Black Friday with Christmas approaching.
Only buy what you need, and then something that you like that will last a long time, rather than a cheap "bargain" or loads of plastic rubbish that will be binned within weeks.

Greed is a form of mental illness. If you have everything you NEED but aren't happy with it, then you'll never be happy, however much more you acquire.

This news is a total disaster for the NHS, and the economy as a whole. It is shameful that 60 years after the “end of empire” the UK still clings to racist exceptionalism and completely fails to acknowledge that immigrants (like my family) are why the UK became the 5th largest economy in the world…

The Chancellor explicitly references the negative legacy of Brexit on the UK economy - so why is her govt so opposed to taking steps like joining the customs union or single market with all the economic benefits these would bring? #Budget2025

What is the point of all the shouting and barracking during the Budget speech?
It just makes our Parliament look and sound crass, like a public school playground rather than serious government business.

One day, I believe, it will be revealed that Donald Trump was indeed a spy, working for a foreign power, a traitor though I fear it will be too late to prevent even further damage to the US.

Too late. Marco Rubio already spilled the truth. The so called peace plan was Russia’s wish list, not something the US drafted. He’s trying to walk it back but the damage is done.

Johnson is a feckless and nasty piece of work. That the country ever elected him Prime Minister is to our eternal shame. Too many wanted a comedian and a clown. We lost 200,000+ people during Covid due to his laziness and ineptitude. Shame on us.

The COVID enquiry shines a light on the abject failure of the UK’s public health response - too little, too late.
