Amazon just emailed to tell me The Decade In Tory is now their 3rd "most gifted" book.

Which is my way of warning you that for Christmas, you're gonna get a very thick and annoying book about a very thick and annoying government.

Today in England.
Cruella Batshìtcrazyman says that living on the streets is a ‘lifestyle choice’.

It isn't. It's a direct result of 13 years of Tories waging war against poor & marginalised people.

Targeting homeless people and making it an offence for charities to help them is reprehensible.

It's after midnight here; that's why I post:
World of Dreams - Laura Theresa Alma-Tadema.

She was married to Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema, a Dutchman who emigrated to the UK in the 19th century and became a famous painter there. Nowadays he's almost forgotten.

The Government has been doing EVERYTHING to avoid parliament, making announcements EVERYWHERE but there.

The speaker is fuming but is powerless to do anything.

This petition is to give him the power to call the government back to Parliament.

Please sign.
