Really? We pay have the highest council tax in the country, almost. I pay over £2000 a year to get my bins emptied, and if I had a garden it would be more on top.
Do students pay council tax?

Why not just evict the USA Forces from the UK full stop?
Two people have been abducted from Scotland in the middle of the night by the US military. Despite an order from our highest court that they be kept here.
The Scottish Government must show that actions have consequences by evicting American troops from their base at publicly-owned Prestwick Airport

Where i live, it really is neglect. It's like the city is a leech and sucks up all resources. My village was a nice place to live, now covered in dog poo and litter. It wasn't this bad in the 90s

There are a lot of those in a certain village nearby, but I'd say they have moved up from the south. A friend works in the post office, she says they are very rude and she'd rather serve any foreigners because they are always polite

NEW ANALYSIS: UK household electricity bills have risen over the last 5 years.
BUT: Despite frequent claims that net zero is to blame: 2/3 of the increase is because of high gas prices shows new @ukerc.bsky.social report.
Arguably without renewable energy the UK would see even higher bills today.

ICE is now openly intimidating peaceful observers for daring to speak. This is what unchecked power sounds like when it knows the public is watching. Silence is the goal.
Call every senator & demand they take action.
No more money.
Rein them in.

Nope never letting it slide that Kristi Noem killed the puppy she failed to train
She also terrified the horses she shot
There was also a Billy Goat and she missed with one round and left it tied and suffering while she went to get more ammo
That’s animal cruelty and she deserves whatever she gets
