Was leaving my #Twitter dormant.

Fuck that.

Deactivated.
Compared to Labour of the last 25 years I'd say he's the furthest left there has been on the front benches. But I take your point(s)

What's Caerphilly and Clacton got in common?

Neither's likely to see Nigel Farage today.
If Labour turned to the left, (not necessarily the far left of Corbyn) traditional Labour voters like me, and there are a shit-ton of us, might return.
Plaid are more centre left than socialist these days.
Are Plaid likely to align with Greens and SNP in a future government if all win seats?
The non-tipped minimum isn't nearly enough to rent a place in the UK either, unless you qualify for social housing (multiple dependents and/or a disability) and reach the top of the 9 year waiting list.

I'd hate to be a 20-something today looking for some independence.
We (should) all care about poverty wages.
I worked in a restaurant kitchen washing dishes in my youth. (Waiting staff didn't split the tips).

And in a pub where customers would sometimes buy me a drink (but it wasn't acceptable to take the cost of the beer and keep it, you either had the beer or said no thanks). Nowadays no-one offers.
But the most popular President ever says everything is going so well... ๐Ÿ˜ข
That's broadly similar to the UK and better than where I live now. And US cost of living is broadly similar, or it was a few years back.

(UK and France have govt benefits/credits to top up income for those eligible)
So he's only demolished half the house.

He's not all bad.
ABC News pulled the satellite imagery of the White House comparing Sept. 26 to today.

If you're not going to answer my point, I respectfully suggest you ignore me and get on with your life. I'll help you by muting you now.

Another stupid question...
If bars and restaurants pay shit wages below a living wage, why do people go there? Why are they not hounded?

I know pay in such places is always low, but I wouldn't use any bar or restaurant paying absolute poverty wages.
I'm not coming at you, i'm asking a question ro educate myself. I thought (wrongly it seems) Canada was better than the US in termsnof minimum wage.
I'm aware that is the case in the US, and when there I tip waiting staff routinely.

Thought Canada had more progressive worker protection and wages.
Is minimum wage not a legal requirement in Canada?
Seriously?

Do you tip shop workers routinely?

Even Walmart?

What about bus drivers?

Turnstile operators at a football match?

Your dentist?

As a European where the culture is completely different, (starts and ends with waiting staff and is very much discretionary) where does it end?
So do I, but enough about your mother ๐Ÿ˜† ๐Ÿคฃ ๐Ÿ˜‚

Sounds like they need a few packs of these.
It's all about the barrel and conditions it's aged in, and French barrels have been used for hundreds of years to make whisky.

Probably decent.
