VAT on meat you say…

And expensive. Imagine the cost of changing the entire road network over to use metric.

“Minister, we have a cunning way to lower the speed limits, and go metric, at the same time…”

But how will I get an “ooh”?!

I mean, we should be able to interact with mastodon via fedipub, right?

If we had a separate server, it might be messy, as then there are two sets of accounts.

I’d say the conservatives do a pretty bang up job treating disabled people badly.

I’ll keep an eye on the feddit.uk applications for grauniad@theguardian.com in that case!

Too many places treat CCAS as plan A, but it does make sense doing it in the background as a plan B.

It does worry me though, that everyone is just going to go “eh, we’ll just capture it in 20 years”.

Originally, council housing was supposed to be available for everyone.
A socially funded, reasonably priced, decent accommodation for anyone.
With the added bonus for the council that they have properties vulnerable people could be housed in at cost.

And there are still legacy tenants from those days happily living in their council places.

R2B was brought in, with the stated idea of giving long-term renters the opportunity to buy at a discount.
A leg up onto owning and running their own house.
Unfortunately with the way it was implemented, it ended up gutting the supply of council houses, until we reach today.
Where only the most vulnerable have a sniff of a chance of being allocated a council house.

Somebody should make a microsite with this graphic that updates every time there is an election.

20 years, for a more serious answer.

I found it frustrating at school when my history teacher finished at Afghanistan, with no discussion on how it related to the current situation.

Awesome work, thankyou for taking the time to do this.

I too love a metal USB stick for the keychain, and my old DTSE9 could do with a refresh!

And giving exemptions for ones with less than a certain number of employees.

Big bus.
We know they’re paying you off with day savers, don’t deny it!

“Wololo”

He was made sticky by vicky.

The amount of people who would be off with long covid if not for work from home is understated, in my opinion.

IIRC, the reason it wasn’t previously taxed, is that it would have opened up writing off gambling losses against tax.
Don’t quote me, obv.
So maybe it would need a lot of other tax law changing at the same time, to not end up encouraging people accidentally the other way.

You’d need steel chestnuts to even attempt such a thing!

The only thing I can see really shifting it, is people saying they’ll support trump to stay in with their communities, then making excuses why they stayed home on election day.

And if I’m honest, that’s a hell of a hail mary pass.
