Made the mistake of suggesting we shouldn't appease Putin on the other place.
Now, apparently, I have to join the army and go and fight in the war.

Important context here:
● over half of farms are less than 49 acres (20 hectares)
● "a big farm" is 217 acres.
Now let's see who's angry:
● Clarkson farm is 1,000 acres
● Lloyd Webber farms 4,000 acres
● Viscount Rothermere (Mail owner) 4,700 acres
● Dyson owns 36,000 acres
● over half of farms are less than 49 acres (20 hectares)

If you bring central London to a halt in order to campaign against catastrophic climate change then you're a "barmy" eco "fanatic" who deserves to be locked up.
If you do the same to hang on to your multimillion pound inheritance tax exemption then you're a brave freedom fighter defying the odds

I still don’t understand why Labour is cutting the winter fuel payments back in this stark manner
No problem at all with wealthy pensioners (I’m almost at that age now) who don’t need it not receiving it obviously
But for only those on Pension Credit to receive it .. is wrong

NEW: Tens of thousands of pensioners are expected to be driven into poverty by cuts to winter fuel payments, according to forecasts by DWP published today
The figures do not factor in the increased uptake of the pension credit benefit

The protestors want to call it "the tractor tax" because calling it "the inheritance tax protest" would turn off public opinion.
The tractors coming into London today, in fact, pay no road tax, no congestion charge, and no ULEZ.
Exempt from all.

I’m off to Cheltenham for the racing for three days this week. It’s a step back in time. People friendly, with tremendous sport, terrific food & drinks.
A break from the world we live in now, but I believe in us, so hope on. Negativity has been beaten numerous times before.

Incredible. This users change per minute graph is also not following previous patterns. Sustained growth even during the US night. Non-US folks are coming in droves too. There was a spike in daily users on election day, but it didn't last. This is different. The #swifties are making history.
