I invented unsocial networking. Soon, we'll all be doing it! I also like tea. I have never been in a quiz team with @RevRichardColes

Indeed, the extreme is council tax where a Billionaire Oligarch earns enough to pay their share for all local services in the time it takes them to fart, and not a long one either, whilst those on minimum wage work for three or so weeks as their contribution. equalitytrust.org.uk/news/press-r...

New data from the Office for National Statistics shows that the poorest 10% of households in the UK are still paying a higher proportion of their income in tax than the richest.

'The Babadook' was a good movie for "kids are just evil, avoid at all costs". At that age they have no self-awareness, and think the world exists purely to serve them. Takes a while to develop that sense that there are 'others' and you need to consider them.
After about 21 years, the penny drops.

It was 'Mice' but that was her album. I bought it for £1.50 with an extended other CD and some other bits. All from Revolver(?) in Nottingham. It was that indie shop up on King or Queen Street, long gone now. Maybe it was Fopp?!
