Every time I am forced to put something in recycling, I think of how that actually means dumping it in my home region, SE Asia

The only reliable way to recycle is to eliminate plastic as far as possible.

@shoq I can’t understand why this isn’t crystal clear to everyone. The fascists aren’t being coy about their vision or plans for America. We ignore them at our peril.

One man attacks children with a knife, another man steps in to defend them.
This is the difference: "When asked about the riots, Mr Benicio said: "I'm here for about 20 years now, I don't know politics here deeply to have an opinion about it. What I can say is I know the protest is against immigrants and for me it doesn't make sense because I'm an immigrant myself and I was the one who helped out."

Chancellor is going to cut NI, saving me a couple of hundred quid a year.... I can't get a call with a GP in anything under four weeks, but I'll be two hundred quid a year better off. Go Tories!

Tell you what... keep the 200 quid. Fix the NHS. And for pity's sake, be honest with us about the correlation between the tax we pay and the level of public service we enjoy!

The Tory ideology is that tax is a punishment. It's not. It's the price you pay to live in a functioning society!
