Platelet donation. NHS will cover my parking for four hours, but I prefer to help others and take the bus. Yeah, this would cost me £3.50 in London but Starmer decided £5.20 was fair in the Second City and the NHS won’t give me this back. Still… helping kids with cancer, eh.

We've recieved hundreds of complaints about our new Christmas display on Warley Water Tower. We are sorry for any offense caused.
The sign was obviously meant to read 'Let It Snow', however the octagonal shape of the tower meant that the sign spacing ended up in a very unfortunate place!

I love the barbican as much as anyone, but this always reads as “City of London has this sort of cash, but how has central government funding to the Second City fared over the last fifteen years?”

DavCam a decade ago - we need to slash the nhs and live within our means… same cunt in 2025 - I’ve had cancer so we need to spend millions more on testing… whoever said the Tory party is a morally spent tangle of contradictions and has no future was probably woefully under-stating their problems
