It's pensioners that are responsible for the welfare rise. Non pensioner welfare has been static in terms of GDP for decades.
This isn't a bug, but it is big bug damage. Wur sunflowers have been nibbled by a giant slugs. Or a lot of small slugs. I'm scared to touch it. Rain doesn't wash it off. I don't know why.
More bugs! Yeah, I know it's a spider. I think it's a cucumber spider. I think it's just had a fly BBQ for dinner.
Here's a video. They're surprisingly difficult to video as I didn't want to scare it away, and they're not that big either.
I've got bugs on my sunflowers! This one is the hogweed bonking beetle (commonly known as the red soldier beetle).
What *is* rising is pension benefits and UK pensioner related spending (health, care, housing etc). The UK government is trying to stop spending on helping younger and working age people to prioritise money going to the older generation. Source: www.economicshelp.org/blog/218952/...
I thought I was doing pretty well assembling all the orks and Gretchen from the Armageddon box. Turns out there's 2 sets of each. More to do. Plus, the little chap seems to only want to do the impressive leaders from the space marines, so there's another 10+3 left.
I can't believe they missed out Metallica's justice for all. I don't remember all their other albums, must have been before my time when they were socialist.
I'm reposting this single picture below because I think it's really interesting to see it in large instead of 1/4.
That's strange, Scotland seems to be much more stable and well governed. Strange that. www.gov.scot/about/who-ru...
From Reddit. Did Iran win this conflict? Yeah. This is hugely embarrassing for the United States. Was going to post something like this, but this is so much more detailed and to the point.
Worth literally as much as the rest of the US defense and aero sector combined. That's a lot of tulips.
That's really interesting to compare to housing costs. Relatively cheap in the 70s, not any more. Housing eats up the money that could be used to sustain the state. ifs.org.uk/publications...
Did you trim the hedge for me? Sure boss, I shaped the hedge like a bear's arse just the way you wanted it. What now?
Oh for fuck sake Starmer you directionless fucknugget. You can't just keep talking to McSweeney. inews.co.uk/news/politic...
Two weeks... Aaron Blake, The Washington Post. "How many times has Trump claimed an Iran deal is around the corner?"
Well, I guess that cut in overseas aid from 0.7% to 0.5% to 0.3% was really worth it to fund defence spending. Thanks Starmer.
