We’ve mapped the mansion tax.
You can see who's paying - which constituency, which postcode - and how many "mansions" are near you.

Guaranteed that somebody is complaining about the inheritance tax they are paying on the sale of this place, and how the capital growth from their hard work over the past 35 years should be theirs to keep
They really don't want to share any interior shots but when they do, you just know that unspeakable acts have been committed within... www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/1...

The Saturn V rocket that took humanity to the moon had a power output of over 100 gigawatts of power at takeoff. As I write this, the ENTIRE UK National Grid is currently generating 38 gigawatts of electricity.
Man, everything is so bleak, anyone got a fun fact or little bit of trivia they want to share

REVEALED: The Blackburn files, from secret contracts to legal threats from a major agent
Blackburn Rovers were bought by the Rao family from India (aka Venky's) in late 2010. Within months the club was in chaos, and secretly being run by a now defunct agency

Gudjohnsen hasn't had his best game, not much has stuck to him. Miller been too aggressive, lucky to be card-free. Hedges and Alebiosu provided a decent threat. Hopefully Wharton injury is mild.

Ohashi surely pulled back from reaching that brilliant cross from Alebiosu?

Solid #Rovers team tonight, sensible to swap out Henriksson to avoid a card or two. And on the left Hedges for a solid first half with maybe DDN to bring the chaos later on v #bristolcity

The intellect and genius of Oscar Wilde oozes from the pages. Dark and so very clever.

So only 5 points picked up by the bottom 7 today, with #Rovers getting 3 of those. Almost perfect set of results to continue moving up the table

Strangely optimistic today, feeling there are goals in this #Rovers side. De Neve and Alebiosu to cause some carnage down the wings, Gudjohnsen to start a scoring streak...

Not bad from #Rovers, just need to keep frustrating the home crowd and riding a bit of luck. Ohashi been excellent. I'd take Henriksson off before he gets the inevitable second yellow
