Rat-infested Dartmoor prison may never reopen, pays Prince William’s Duchy of Cornwall £1.5m a year. Public purse pays cost of upkeep.

The Duchy owns many assets; exempt from corporation tax, and capital gains tax

Any chance of UK Govt looking at this welfare ... thought not.

The best way to gain a big political following is still to just go "fuck the Tories!" and "more like FARTage!" coz, ultimately, people don't want to contemplate actual change. They just want to feel comfortable hating the right team. If you criticise Labour you're not helping them feel cosy.

Growing up, I idolized RFK and wished that more politicians were like him. I still can’t believe the insanity of the guy who shares his name.
