Not bored of #euro2024 kit reviews yet?
It was a rhetorical question.
Ft. sass and Simpsons references. No controversy just for the sake of it, hard to split the big-hitters...
👇 Starting with the very worst...

Probably.
Jerry Seinfeld says he wouldn’t be able to do many jokes from ‘SEINFELD’ in today’s world.
“[One would be] Kramer decides to start a business of having homeless people pull rickshaws because, as he says, ‘They’re outside anyway.’ Do you think I could get that episode on the air today?”

Uxbridge & ULEZ
1. ULEZ was initiated by Boris Johnson long before Sadiq Khan.
2. The Conservative government under Grant Shapps made expanding ULEZ a condition of providing financial support to TFL during covid.
3. The Conservative government have provided funds to cities such as Birmingham (with a Conservative mayor), but not to London (with a Labour mayor).
Clean air is good, we need more of it.
Underfunding from the Conservative government which has caused the ULEZ charge is the problem. - Billions given to bankers in tax cuts, billions wasted in PPE/covid fraud, billions wasted on refugee bargees.
We need a different and better government. A pity the people of Uxbridge voted for more of the same.

Yeah, replace writers, poets, researchers, composers, image editors with AI but not data entry clerks or basic financial functions. Doomed.

AI should do spreadsheets and tax returns, sort data. Instead of removing drudgery, tech bros are trying to get it to replace the stuff humans should be doing instead of dull labour. It's to keep us working unnecessarily.

Life is different if you don’t depend on our NHS or state schools. If you don’t need to travel by train or bus to get to work. If you swish through airports in private lounges. If you’ve never worried about losing your job, or paying the rent. Their Britain isn’t broken. Ours is.

Vox pop of the day outside Cardiff Castle:
What brings you to Cardiff today?
"Liam Gallagher concert last night to be honest."
Why did you want to see the King?
"I'm pretty hungover mate, needed something to do."

Hey its Jules. A bit about "Trouble". This song is about my memories of the earliest days of motherhood. I think every new parent has their own particular challenges, mine was that I couldnt breastfeed...
