From a different telegraph article on the same subject
Doing so would force 8.8 million state pensioners to pay more tax, according to HMRC figures revealed in a Freedom of Information request by pension consultancy LCP. Of those, 124,000 are additional rate taxpayers earning £125,140 or more. As the £12,570 tax-free allowance is removed for anyone reaching that level of income, they pay 20pc tax on their first £50,270 and then 40pc up to £125,140. A rise of two percentage points would generate an extra bill of £2,502.80. Their earnings over £125,140 would also be taxed at 47pc.

The ironioc thing about that essay is that Dreams by Fleetwood mac was an attempt to create perfection in the drumming.
“Once Stevie and Lindsey figured the song out, we had some tempo and groove problems. Things felt fine, but they had to be perfect - the rhythm had to be rock solid. Mick Fleetwood is a great drummer, one of the best, but he’d shift his parts and dynamics around - every drummer does. “We made an eight-bar loop of Mick's playing, which created this fantastic, deep hypnotic effect. It’s funny, but when people talk about the classic rhythm section of Mick Fleetwood and John McVie and they point to this one song, I’m always amused that they’re talking about a drum loop.”

Previous owner of our house covered up some beautiful slate tiles like the first picture in our kitchen, with the monstrosity in the second picture. The vinyl has got some resin underneath it, and it would cost a fortune to remove

Is there some regulatory reason we're still installing USB-A sockets on new public infrastructure in the U.K.?

They're not shy about it either. Only a few physical restaurants, but you can order a delivery from a lot of places in the U.K.

Sometimes you see a collapsed thread on a seemingly innocent post and you think, what the fuck has gone on here in the replies?

Not Simpson's, but whenever someone lays out an apocalyptic scenario at work I drop this Partridge quote. Doesn't quite land when most of your colleagues aren't at least 40 and British though.

I'm no fan of Mahmoods policy on ILR but this is just completely dishonest framing of it.
Tweet from (((Dan Hodges))) • Follow @DPJHodges I've been working in politics a long time. I've seen some bonkers stuff. But having the Prime Minister blast an opponent's policy as racist on Sunday, then getting the Home Secretary to announce the same policy on Monday is about the maddest thing l've seen at a party conference.

I think you mean "a fucking dickhead"
Excerpt from Private Eye "EVANS ABOVE! THE case of former Commons deputy speaker Nigel Evans, cleared at Preston crown court of rape and eight other sexual offences, all of which he denied, provided even more edification than has been reported. One of the more highbrow exchanges came when former Lib Dem MP Lembit Opik was called as a witness for the prosecution (despite telling police he believed Evans was innocent) and testified that one of the alleged victims had called him "a fucking dickhead". Testimony was later presented to the court that the same alleged victim had called the Speaker, John Bercow, "a cunt" Observers were keen to hear how the judge would present these incidents to the jury in his summing up. Unfortunately, the judge got rather summing up. Unfortunately, the judge got rather confused and decided it was Lembit who had been called "a cunt" " To the delight of the court, Evans' QC, Peter Wright, then stood up to correct the judge, insisting that Opik was merely "a fucking dickhead" and that it was Bercow who was "a cunt" - at which point the laughter in court had reached indecorous levels and the judge decided that no more needed to be explained, ending the debate with the words: "Thank you Mr Wright." No one was quite sure who had been upgraded."
