Meh ;) Here to pass the time and perhaps get a different perspective on life. Used to be right (blue) leaning now left (yellow) leaning. My posts/replies here are nonsense, made for satirical effect, and I don’t mean to directly offend. Save Ferris!

Ahhhh… the relief when you notice which accounts should have reposts turned off to just get a little relief from all the ‘merrycan electoral bile!

I worry that even on this place the anti-establishment posts are external influences on our culture, fanning the flames and causing anger everywhere, with an uptick on anti-monarchy and anti-everyone posts at the same time that France has conduct suffered external interference.

Deer 1 : Bmw i3 0. You remain a worthy foe, Monsieur Rutting Deer. Anchored up in plenty of time to avoid a big bugger, who then proceeded to run into my car and demonstrate how plastic it is. Well played.

I’m really not a Labour supporter, but Mr Burnham has announced some great, fair policies reversing some fucking stupid Tory vandalism on utilities, care, and Brexit. Please just don’t take my second home, smashed avocado on toast or frappacino thanks bye.

In a world of phishing skamming brushing and whatever other terms are in vogue why the fuck has my accounting software login screen changed making me waste time to check it’s not one of the above? Grrrrrr.

I’m already a regular RNLI supporter. If you can, pop a em a few quid. Not as a political statement, but as recognition for all they do. Don’t politicise the RNLI, or they might not be there to save your kid at the beach. 2/2 rnli.org

rnli.orgRNLI - Royal National Lifeboat Institution - Saving Lives at SeaThe RNLI is the charity that saves lives at sea. We do this through lifeboat search and rescue, lifeguards, water safety education and international interventions.

Modern politics is complicated… knowing which fork to use for which course when being bribed at the Savoy, how to choose matching shoes and balaclavas when on an impromptu lads trip to the seaside… One thing that isn’t complicated is the work the RNLI perform every day. Don’t politicise them. 1/2

Ffs all these apps that interrupt workflows wanting reviews when I just need to do a thing… doesn’t matter how good you are you’re getting 1 star. It’s “appening” in the real world now with small business owners promoting review sites. God I’m getting old and miserable ;)

Perhaps the pursuit of house building could be matched with pursuit of building reservoirs and infrastructure to support said new houses? Perhaps build the reservoirs first?

Dear app developers pls stop fucking changing app logos and colours. It’s hard enough working out if something’s a scam please don’t make it harder by making your app look like a scummy hacked version.

Hmm Data loss issue at Dashlane? Business and personal accounts seem to have been unable to sync for days then the servers have no data. Support terrible. Perhaps I stayed with them for too long. Don’t forget your backups, kids!

Space rocket fuel, missile fuel etc should be taxed at the same rate as unleaded. Suddenly all those space Datacentres have the same cost as earth based ones…

Why doesn’t UK gov just make some shitty crypto memecoin (à la Trump) to fill the defence budget gap? (Ps contractors must take payment in shitty memecoin.)

Is Andy Burnhams work from home request the most expensive impact of the new employment rights laws? Can’t be arsed to go to the office bring the office to me? Let’s see how badly this narcissism goes…

£6k on my sons school fees but wow thanks Rachel I just got a £15 VAT refund on some circus tickets I bought a year ago - that makes a huge difference to my cost of living. Fcking clown show.

I feel strongly about this, plus it's personal (Brexit has affected my family profoundly). This petition seems to be doing well, but could do with more shares and signatures if you're eligible (British Citizen or UK Resident) and feel strongly about this too. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/74...

petition.parliament.ukPetition: Apply to Rejoin the EU as soon as possible to increase growth in the UKWe believe Brexit's not working. The OBR judges that the UK economy is smaller and trade is weaker because of Brexit, and it will just get worse. 10 years after the Brexit vote, let's apply to rejoin ...

So.. VAT on school fees, but VAT relief on theme parks? Cost of actual living through the roof, but it’s ok you get a tenner off legoland so now you can afford vip parking for the Chelsea tractor and be 50yds closer the entrance. Thanks Rachel.

Instead of the UK Government attempting to force a price cap on food, perhaps they could fuck off and sort out the economy so every day people can afford the basics. You know, rejoin the EU, remove NIC burden, tax ultra rich instead of every day workers… Nope its class war back to the ‘70’s. sigh.

How fucked is it for Labour that no actual MPs are good enough to become PM, and they’re relying on someone who isn’t an MP to become an MP to then compete in a leadership competition to become PM. This kind of bullshit is why Brexit happened. Joe Public just wants you to fuck off and lower taxes.

Road taxation on EVs is inevitable. But why not just tax every vehicle on a per mile basis, with a weight and power tiering, that reflects the relative road wear caused. So a 2.5 ton 500 horsepower Tesla pays more than a 1 ton 100 horsepower Polo, etc. This should be separate from fuel choice.

@krugerparody.bsky.social Dear Your Reformzis Majesty who we all admire and revere, I was wondering if you have any advice for these budding future Reformzis recruits? How hard is it to level up from a Cuntservative to a Reformzis? Is there a test? A colour chart? An arm angle? Asking for a friend..

Ah fuckety fuck the age verification finally caught up with me as I connected off vpn. Any be arsed with all of that so it’s a nice digital detox courtesy of two tier Keir. Ta ta for now.

Tried to join the libdems yesterday catalyzed by my MP fucking off to reformzies, yet the membership payments system crashed, then today receive spam begging me to finish. Now Davey has childishly spurned Charlie I’m quite happy to keep my money; can’t change things if you’re not in the room.

If there’s £3bn of goods coming in untaxed from China due to de minimums (?) rules couldn’t labour tax them - VAT plus duty say 40pc is £1.2Bn of easy revenue instead of potentially putting rents up by 8pc?

You are up to date.
