1st world issue. Chocolate egg retailers. Print the barcode, keep it by the till for the next 3 months.
This happens all the time says the till operator as he bashes my crème egg for 2 minutes off the scanner like a Neanderthal.

to recap:
— Trump was *for* the TikTok ban
— which the GOP Congress passed
— and the GOP Supreme Court upheld
— and even though Biden said he wouldn't enforce the ban, TikTok shut down anyway
— so that Trump could "save" it
— and the media fell for it
we really do live in the dumbest fucking country

This is important & necessary. I’d add only that a) It’s clear many of the political & media figures deliberately ignoring these facts are playing with the sort of fire we saw on our streets this summer & b) Laura Kuenssberg’s failure to point this out to Farage was an appalling dereliction of duty.
Some people in recent days have alleged a ‘cover-up’ over the grooming & rape of hundreds of young girls in predominantly northern UK towns, leading to calls for a ‘national’ public inquiry into child sexual exploitation

FWIW here’s a non-exhaustive list of inquiries into #CSE in last 12 yrs…

I explained to my mum today how the uk state pension works(again). Current workers pay for current retirees. She said “well I’ll agree to disagree”! How do you react to that?

Why are spurs fans so angry that they didn’t walk over Rangers at Rangers in a competitive European match? When they haven’t won a game since they beat a struggling city. Perhaps it’s the arrogance of fans that’s the problem.

I'm old enough to remember when Jimmy Carter had to divest from his peanut farm. Now this guy is rolling out 💩 left and right just days before taking office and no one cares.

Amazing.

UK driving tests have a backlog. Government ask driving instructors for solution. They make money off the apps and cancellations. BBC breakfast interview a learner who tells about booking 3 tests through cancellation apps coz she “has to”. The solution is to ban apps and reselling of tests!

I got caught speeding. Accepted the offer of a fixed penalty notice in June. Put my card details in. Today I received a court summons because “driving license details were not received” but they have included my admission as evidence which has my drivers license details on it.

Tragic story in The Times about 88 year old farmer, John Kemp-Welch, who works 5k acres of difficult hill farming land in Scotland.
He somehow found time to be Chair of the London Stock Exchange, a stockbroker for 30 years and on the board of HSBC.
And the masses protest for him
