How so? If you don’t want to side load, then don’t. Others having the ability to do so doesn’t mean it needs to affect you…

My aunt just got a new car - her previous car was a 2004 Rover 25. Almost 20 years old and it was ULEZ compliant. If you’re ‘poor’ but still need to own and drive a car, there are plenty of cheap vehicles that meet the standard!

Equal opportunities damn it, men can also be prostitutes! Didn’t you know that women also enjoy sex? It’s quite possible, believe it or not, that women might fancy some sexy time too.

All the talk of Starmer not having personality or leadership seemed to skim over me for the longest time and I thought he was the right man for the job. I liked the way he interviewed and I thought his career of ‘fighting the good fight’ made him just what we needed.

I’m not sure anymore. His handling of important topics recently has been lacklustre to say the least and, although I don’t really like the term, I’m seeing him as a ‘red Tory’ more and more.

Lots of people start their working careers with the mindset of continuing to do some form of work in retirement. As you get closer, that opinion often changes.

I’d hoped for more, considering his work on human rights. I suppose it’s just not popular to state the truth on this matter; condemning Israel’s war crimes doesn’t mean you support Hamas’ terrorism and it certainly isn’t antisemitism.

I don’t know if I would call 20% a fraction, but you are right to say the total number of bombs dropped in Iraq by the US and UK was higher. I think it’s good to remember that the 30,000ish dropped in Iraq was over 8 years. Israel have reportedly used more than 6000 in less than a week.

Over the last 11 years since I moved into my current role, my salary has risen by approximately £35k. In addition to this my conditions have improved and I work fewer hours. My yearly negotiated increase has always outstripped inflation and I have only lost one day’s pay due to strike action to achieve these rises.

The company I work for continues to post profits in the billions of £s, despite paying their workers fairly.

I’d say my monthly union dues of <£20 have served me pretty well.

Anyone advocating against a union either stands to lose out by unionisation (ie those at the top that would rather keep their bonuses/salaries as high as possible) or have completely bought in to the capitalist nonsense that is often thrown around about unions.

I felt like this couldn’t possibly be true. I was wrong.

The grammar in this article is horrendous. It’s almost as if Fox isn’t a reputable source for news!
