Next time you have time to waste in Pret, especially during busy rushtimes, observe them how they have to perform emotional labour even during high stress & when they're sick or bereaved to get bonus & not penalised.

The Enforced Happiness of Pret A Manger

I always thought the people at Pret A Manger liked me for me. I was wrong.

People can interpret all sorts of things into Charles' appearance. He invited trump and made it very cozy for him. It's despicable, and you can turn it any way you like. I'm 150% with Lawrence O'Donnell here.
I mute you now because I have no time for further irrelevant discussions on this.
Be safe.

Yes, this has been a long time coming. The modern-day republicans were waiting for someone like trump.

I'm laserfocused on Pret and got the press to dig deeper.
CEO bonus now is £5m+ &year-on-year payrise.
“Pret CEO handed near-£4m bonus in year staff pay was cut
Pano Christou also given 27% salary rise in 2021 as chain took more than £50m in government support”

P.S. I'm checking on how the press across the board deals with this, and of course, they're white washing this. They call it trump pouring down "brown sludge". We all know he's sh!tting on his country men, women and children.
@jimmykimmel.com will call it exactly what it is on Monday's show for sure

I heard about citizens arrests before, but always assumed it was about a typical, classical crime like a burglary or assualt happening at a given time. But this is brilliant!!! And of course, it's women doing it! Don't underestimate women again. You will be given a lesson over and over again. 😃

Watching it, I really don't know anymore how to react. Pure disgust for sure, but how can this be happening without seemingly no-one able to do anything. JD Vance posted an AI video of trump putting a crown on his head and Democrats bowing to him. Why the F... is this allowed, especially the 💩 bit.

I just thought this cannot be true, but just saw several news platforms on this. I won't stain bluesky by posting it here. But what a sh!t show of a "precidency" in the truest sense of the term.

What does it take to get this guy locked up? When does the 25th finally be applied?

Yep, gaslighters will even take the biggest crowd to try and sow seeds of doubt.
Look what 1 young 16 y/o girl has done in Sweden, and what that kickstarted.
Even alone, NEVER let anyone sow doubt. ONE person has impact. Then another. And another ...

Yes, Pret censor. The music is beamed to all shops from.head office and the playlist changed after many months. Pret even block certain websites on their wifi.

Whoever replied here under my post (now showing 2 replies with mine), who's not visible, is cowardly as they blocked me AFTER replying to avoid me calling out their BS. 😃

And as usual, the police is apathetic. The police in the UK is as useless as everywhere while screaming "we need more funding".
Lazy bloodsuckers who just wait for their pension while citizens who pay them get their hands dirty again.

Here is how citizens in the UK, peacefully under the law deal with corrupt, greedy CEOs who cause poisoning of the environment for profit & bonus. And it's women stepping up.

Of course Clinton. There R perverts from all parties involved, Mendelsohn being the latest reveal from the UK & Labour. This is not about democrats or repulican involvement, this is about the hypocrisy of the king shunning his brother while inviting Epstein's best friend to appease him re tarriffs.

Ex Pret A Manger Staff - expret.org 🇺🇦 @expret.org · 2d

Bullsh!t

Charles invited him. If he did after Starmer's request or however it came about is irrelevant. King Charles invited trump and is as cozy to him as any bootlicker & entitled person.

I'm careful about AI that pops up at the top of the search page. I have had to correct AI several times about Pret A Manger.
www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... <
And it's not the UK govt paying for it, it is TAX PAYERS paying for it via the govt.
And speaking about hospitality,

King Charles's Coronation cost taxpayers £72m

Government figures show that more than £20 million was spent by the Home Office policing the event.

But where did the money come from that paid for Charles coronation?
