π¨οΈ "We ended slavery"
Who started slavery in the first place? White men.
π¨οΈ "We gave women the vote"
Well wasn't that fucking generous of us! Why was that within our power? Because we, white men, had denied them their vote in the first place.

I apologise for booking tickets to your speaking event and then not turning up, but I had misheard the venue as Peterborough, not Pittsburgh, as I had assumed that as a proud and loyal Englishman you would be working in England and not in a foreign country.

A country where the right to protest is extinguished is not a democracy, it's a dictatorship.

She's clearly not very smart if she's asking for a pardon before she's even been arrested or charged, because accepting a pardon is an admission of guilt. So if no pardon is forthcoming, she's just killed any legitimate argument of defence in court.

At the bridge club, kids kicking a football round in the car park. We'd just got started when there was a tentative knock on the door and a kid nervously peered round, "Has anyone got a red Honda?"

To be honest, the Nightingale hospitals were never much more than a PR exercise to make it look like the govt was doing something. The reason they were barely used was because there were no staff to run them, the only way to staff them would be taking staff away from other hosps.
@JustCourtnei
It is not unreasonable to assume that if an airline is selling you a ticket then they are making that flight safe to use. They clearly aren't doing that. I realise that it may not be commercially viable for them to do that, but in that case the answer is to cancel the flight.

That's the thing about the Tory ideology, it doesn't care about anyone else, it doesn't care about the people who can't elevate themselves about the lowest paid jobs, it actively requires that there will always be downtrodden masses who live in eternal serfdom and poverty.

It isn't an app β it's an API, a framework that will allow an app to work if you choose to install and activate one. On its own, it doesn't do anything.

One of the things that many of us who voted Remain were surprised by was how many people voted for emotional reasons without any rational justification behind it. There was never any economic basis for Brexit, but for most people who voted for it that didn't matter.
