There is something deeply wrong when a law passed with cross-party consensus and endorsed by Britain's most trusted charities has made it impossible to run an internet forum for hamster owners.

I've been out all morning clearing roads blocked with trees, helping stranded drivers and towing cars from snowdrifts. In Northumberland off the A68 This is what rural people do on the winter they help strangers, they don't ask payment..it was my diesel, £75 quids worth, my ropes, my PSE, my chainsaw, my modified 4x4, my snow tyres, my forest hooks, my saw petrol (£20) my chain oil, my blades and my time. We don't expect thanks and we don't ask for money. All my farmer neighbours have been out neglecting their livestock to check people are OK first. They now have a long day in the cold caring for sheep and cattle. Tell me @Keir_Starmer @RachelReevesMP @SteveReedMP @Ed_Miliband what's the weather like in Islington today? A bit wet and windy no doubt. This is what rural communities do in the winter. We look after strangers when they get into trouble, we keep the roads clear and motorists safe and we don't ask payment. I wonder how many of my farmer neighbours caught up in your schemes are wondering if they'll still have a job in 5 years time? But then as you clearly don't care about our community what's it to you? @ClarksonsFarm1 @JeremyClarkson @TVKev @andrejpwalker @virtualash @RoryStewartUK @AllisonPearson @KemiBadenoch @Nigel_Farage My MP is @JoeMorrisMP who's party broke their promise.

On average arrable farms make £183/hectare/year but the land is worth £10k/hectare. So a million pound farm will make ~ £18,300 per year. On a mortgage it would take 14 years to pay off the 200k inheritance tax bill, assuming the farmer doesn’t take any income for that time.

it’s kind of funny seeing the dynamic I’ve lived when speaking @ conferences the past ~5 years play out at scale now cyberpro bros refuse to believe modern software practices can work platform eng/SREs are dumbfounded upon learning how behind cybersecurity is as an industry

Wow. Former President Donald Trump was injured at a rally just minutes ago. It looks like his ear is bleeding. Not sure who to credit for this photo.

I’m assuming they are datamining the hell out of it. I’m not giving them free insider info. Also, I’m convinced that the same people who are heads over heels for this are easily fooled by the “got your nose” trick that grandpas do.

How was it not obvious that locking people up for months on end; abandoning normal healthcare; shutting schools and generally reducing the population to a cowering wreck would have profound long term consequences?
