Un sy'n ceisio cerdded i ffwrdd o Omelas. Ffuglen wyddonol ac yn y blaen. "Lies written in ink can never disguise facts written in blood." -Lu Xun
In Lazlo Krazhnahorkai's case, this might occasionally mean that the title *is* the novel.

This doesnt sound like the asylum seekers are doing anything wrong, though. Sounds like the taxi companies are scamming thr government. Shouldn't they be cracking down on fraud by taxi dispatchers.

I am the odd one out here because I actually like LK (he often scratches the same itch as Thomas Ligotti) but Seibo Here Below is probably the one to go to for funny moments; he cheers up a little (but not much) one Communism falls and he gets to leave the country sometimes.

Ah @ng1978.bsky.social has unearthed the press release and fancy that, the media are indeed parping out the Home Office’s attempts to blame asylum seekers for a mess of its own creation
If somebody had to travel 250 miles for a medical appointment then yes there’s a problem but the taking a taxi ain’t it
