My manager told a client who is relocating from UK to the continent for their job: "you'll get to have 1 hour lunch breaks!" ... Should probably not break it to him that I thought we have those too in the UK office. 😂

Child poverty has not improved in 30 years and shockingly remains stable ~30%. While UK billionaires accumulate a more and more wealth. Is this the "abundance" they talk of? (Sources in ALT text).

Parking creates traffic. The City of Oxford College running an unlicensed public car park is a big WTF.
The City of Oxford College has been told again that it can’t use its parking area, off Oxpens Road, as a public car park. Oxford City Council said it was not convinced that there was precedent of using it “continously and without interruption for ten years”.

Oxford charity Asylum Welcome is asking residents to place an orange light in their window during the Oxford Light Festival, 14-16 November. The light represents compassion for people fleeing war and persecution and is inspired by the colours of a lifebelt.

Out door knocking yesterday for the Ridgeway by-election, I spoke to a resident who said "we've been let down for so many years now." - This person lives in a house that cost well over a million pounds. If even the people living in the big houses feel that way, how do you think poor people feel?

Labour aren’t even pretending any more. Here’s a handy list of Oxfordshire County votes for a motion brought by the Conservative Alliance published on the Reform councillor’s FB page. Labour voting with Tories, the nutters from the IOA (their chair is an anti-vaxxer and Covid denier) and Reform. 🤷♀️

Car culture is wild. Coz wdym the M&S Christmas advert is celebrating a huge traffic jam (which generally means a very serious, often fatal collision) and promoting people exit their cars on the motorway.

I think my colleague and I broke our boss when he tried to get us to make changes to a ppt we had been working on together, but we're not having it. Boss,finally: "It's quite subjective and i feel a 2v1 Friday afternoon mutiny coming my way so go with yours!" .... More power to the women, BAM!✊

For illustrative purposes: a million seconds is 11 and a half days. A billion seconds is 31 years and 8 months. A trillion seconds is 31,710 years. Billionaires should not exists. Trillionaires, even more so.

Conservative Alliance played their usualy game of wasting valuable council time on meaningless leaflet and social media post fodder by presenting a motion to scrap the congestion charge a mere 6 days after it was implemented.
And that’s the end of the meeting, with no time for motions on Abingdon Reservoir, pavement weed clearance, mental health, or community cohesion. Thanks for following along!

Regular reminder that if you’re a woman punching down on a more vulnerable group in the name of “women’s rights”, you’re definitely not: a modern day suffragette.

Don't tell us about "trust". Here we have Cllr Baines' picture on a leaflet that tells outright lies. Oxford Greens proposed in fact an amendment to include _additional_ disadvantaged groups into the bus motion proposed by Labour.
