I just signed the petition "Rishi Sunak - don’t pay for your ads with taxpayers' money" and wanted to ask if you could add your name too.

anyone know what this is

Shown up, pranked and stopped by a group of people who want to keep the traffic moving, allowing people to get to work, schools, funerals, hospitals.

Turns out, undercover, sees them being sponsored and even partying after their hard work of disrupting others lives .

It’s a long video but worth the almost ten minutes

I am not against what they are trying to represent but are some of them hypocrites and is there no better way?

I think sent by Selsey. Still feeding no less than 100 cats so wet food most welcome. Many thanks. Recently spent £1000 on cat and kittens wet food from Zooplus and Asda and Tesco and it did not last very long.

Republican Senator of S. Carolina, Tim Scott, seems to be gaining some support against Trump.

He has bravely stepped forward to oppose granting abortions “up to 52 weeks.”

I noticed this while following a link from another post and it was mentioned on The News at the same time.
Elon Musk has replaced the Twitter logo with an X and it appears the platform will also be known as "X". He is obsessed with X and has used it to name companies (X.com, Space X and now xAI), a vehicle (Tesla Model X) and even a child (X Æ A-12 which was changed to X Æ A-Xii to comply with California's naming laws).

Larry the blue bird was one of the most recognised logos in the world.
Musk seems determined to wipe out the company he overpaid for.

They were caused by arson. Here is the evidence.

Silly woman almost admits she's left a 5 year old home alone while she acts the idiot. And strangely claims she is illegally arrested for breaking the law.

There are countless groups on FB now supporting the work of the "blade runners" in taking down ULEZ cameras. There was even a crowd funding to help support someone creating a map of cameras, their type and what ones are down . Many people daily putting reports in of new cameras going up so they can be taken down.
Reading the comments on fb reminds me of the old Poll tax protests. We live in a very interesting point in time

I was in the Sutton branch of Morrisons today and they have massive posters on display advertising the women's world cup.
The slogan underneath said "Budweiser the official beer of England".
WTF!
English breweries produce some incredibly good beers so how on earth can a third rate American beverage (I'd hesitate to call it beer - More like near frozen cat's p***) be chosen as the official beer of England.
My respect for the FA has just nosedived.
I guess money talks.

Have you ever washed your bed pillows? I decided to and have been fighting with both of them to get them back into shape!!!!! They are Silent night ones and the instructions said "40 degrees wash and tumble dry on a cool setting to plump them up. All of which I did and after over half an hour I am exhausted! the blessed things still have lumps all over, I wouldn't let my dog sleep on them (if I had one). Has anyone else tried washing yours because even when they are wet your can't get the fluffy nice pillow back to it's original shape.

Unfortunately I have seen 2 similar types of attack by groups of young lads recently . Surrounding a vulnerable person. Luckily on both occasions there have been distractions or interventions that have stopped it each time.

Do you feel safe when approaching groups of teenagers?

I am attempting to apply for a Blue Badge from Essex, as my husband is now not able to walk very far, and I am the driver, now.
However, for the forms that I want to download and use (and even to use online), I am expected to register and subscribe with pdffiller for an upfront fee - in dollars - for a 30 day trial (I then can cancel). This can't be correct - the dollar thing is a clue!!!
I have tried several ways in, but this comes up every time for Essex.
I have emailed the Blue Badge department but the automatic reply indicates that there may not be a reply for some time! There is no telephone number I can use; the office is in Colchester, and not Chelmsford, so I can hardly call in!!
Any thoughts?

BBC scaremonger Justin Rowlatt was reporting yesterday of record breaking temperatures in the 40s. This is fake news.
I know someone currently in the Valencia area. The temperatures this week have ranged between 32 to 35, which is a normal summer.

How many of you know, use or understand the terms that younger people use nowadays

Can anyone share some with us ?

One I heard was a term for someone who asks for some assistance, advice or information and then when they are given it they ignore it, often arguing with the person that has tried to help or say it’s unwanted. The word for that person is an Askhole 😂

That the BBC presenter at the centre of the scandal really was Huw Edwards?
Or that Huw Edwards has turned out to be gay / bisexual?

I signed with Virgin for broadband and home phone at the new address but 02 have sent me a sim for my mobile that I told Virgin I did not want.
02 have now sent a bill for £12 and direct debit for every month.
They say they cannot cancel it as it is part of the deal now that Virgin & 02 are combined.
This means it is £12 dearer than I was quoted when I signed with Virgin.
