Every time the Chancellor mentions another billion pounds, think £18.88 out of your pocket each year.
That's £0.36p a week.
Then tell me you'll notice it.
An extra £10 billion for the NHS will cost you £3.60 a week.
The price of a cup of coffee.

Andrew Mountbatten Windsor's family have bestowed high honours on numerous pop celebrities who have openly admitted engaging in sexual activity with underage 'groupies'. Geldhof, et all.

Andrew Windsor's grave mistakes took place at a time when pop stars openly boasted about their hotel rooms being littered with under-age 'groupies'.
No action was taken by the authorities. Young Andrew clearly considered himself a celebrity (of a kind) and thought the 'blind eye' applied to him.

This is the Royal equivalent of the amputation of a gangrenous limb to stop the rest of The Firm getting infected.
An act of self-preservation.
If it was integrity, then they'd have booted Andrew out years ago.
They didn't.

The grouse on the royal estates must be sighing a sigh of relief this morning.
One less brainless eco-vandal dragging his sorry bunch of shooting mates around our scorched moorlands to use living creatures as targets.
Or is that too much to hope for?

This morning, I was hit in the face by a baton.
I’m going to have a pretty gnarly bruise but we need to remember why this is happening: Trump and ICE are rounding up our neighbors, treating them as subhuman, and shipping them off to labor camps in foreign countries. It has to end.

A local election leaflet from the Conservative Party candidate has landed on our doormat, full of parochial promises about parks, bins and potholes.
The ghosts of integrity, honesty and responsibility are still patrolling our patch, unaware that they are lingering figments of their own imagination.

South Africa's wealthiest woman is taking her £500m out of the UK to avoid tax. This will affect the economy to the same degree as working families using two fewer packets of bog roll per year.
