I’m finding it a little disappointing that two or three small businesses on here have reached out to say they’re struggling and I have contacted them with a view to helping if I can, only for me to have no acknowledgment or reply whatsoever. 🤷‍♀️ can’t help you then babe

Britain's voting system dates back to the 19th century.

First Past the Post is outdated, unfair and increasingly delivers results that have little to do with what the country wants.

This #DemocracyDay, I'm calling for Proportional Representation - a fair system where every vote counts.

How true this is. And NZ is no exception. We are governed by some of the most thoughtless, brain dead imbeciles ever to be elected to parliament, and their media cheerleaders run a close second for their commitment to championing abject stupidity
i am so sick of the dumbest people alive being in charge of everything and the second dumbest people alive writing opinion columns about how it's good

Jaymey McIvor (who the Tories kicked out for sending dick pics) is now Reform's Director of Local Government. His job is to make sure councils are run efficiently. A company he ran went bust in March owing £141,025, so he sounds ideal.

If it's illegal to hire undocumented workers then how come only the workers are being arrested? Why not the business owners who hired them? Why not?

Lottie Dod won Wimbledon today in 1887 at age 15. She still has the record as youngest woman to do so. She won four more. Then won the British ladies golf championship, played hockey for England and won a silver in the Olympics at archery.
She served as a nurse in WW1.

Just a small wave at anyone caught up in the Unbound/Boundless mess that you can get advice from the Society of Authors on contracts if you're a member. It's £32 a quarter, cheaper if you're over 65/under 35. Pretty much anyone at any stage of a writing career can join as an associate member.

What the fuck-a-doodle
“238 authors and agents were collectively owed £657,000 by the failed business and are also unlikely to receive a dividend, along with the nearly 8,000 website customers owed £391,000.”

More detail on Unbound’s debts. This is shocking and shameful.

Hello! I'm giving away 20 (20!) signed paperbacks of this book to the first people to reply to this post. Stephen Fry called it "enchanting" and "hilarious" but some people hate it & that's all cool & what happens with books. Limiting this to UK (but happy to send outside if you can cover postage)..
