Yes indeed. They (Tory stooges) have achieved their goal. The BBC is becoming irrelevant. Lack of funding means fewer quality programmes, instead making cheap populist tat, and political influence makes it a no longer trusted news source. Some radio is brilliant but news bulletins are poison.

A thread 🧵

So what do we mean by the 90-in-180-day problem?

1. We don’t mean the total number of days is necessarily the problem.

The problem is the control period of 180 days, the fact it has to be shared across 29 different countries and the fact it is not a per-visit allowance.

If any industry bodies (music, travel, haulage, sailing, consulting, law, CBI etc ) would like to get behind a campaign to make any of this happen then please contact me as I’m bringing a few industries together for talks who are interested. My DMs are open and I can set up a time to talk.

The origin of presenting a flitch of bacon to any man who can swear that for a year and a day he never has had a quarrel with his wife, nor wished himself unmarried since his wedding-day, dates back to the year 1211.

Behold, a token remnant from an old, antiquated British institution. Often ridiculed for it's apparent lack of ability to relate to modern life and often accused of corruption.

I said that @greenparty.org.uk membership is rising by 1000 new people a day.

I was wrong.

Let's tax the super rich - make hope normal! Anyone who doesn't think it's possible, cast your mind back - we USED to tax the super rich - we owned ALL our infrastructure, free uni for all, & you didn't need to be destitute to get a nice council house.

It's time non-degradable wipes were outlawed, or perhaps taxed to cover the cost of events such as this.
