Geriatrics ST, continuing to third wheel my wife and son. Leeds, UK
Books, gaming and, despite how much it pains me, politics
Think whoever was doing the BBC live chat appeared to be less impressed

And fundamentally what morality is it that we let any child starve? That we let any child go cold?
These people keep taking about preserving a 'Christian heritage/ Christian principles' and yet being none of those into politics.
The fact that any child let alone millions go hungry is a shame on us

But in all seriousness- fuck this attitude and this racism. Similar to that Facebook post claiming Pakistani families benefit more from repealing the two children benefit cap.
How many children are they happy to leave or push into poverty just in the hole they can punish someone brown?

Ah thanks was curious who the mistake was from.

Oh man is this the OBR who published this early or the treasury?

Unfortuantley when I mention this to most people in the UK, they think someone's out a steak and kidney pie into a milkshake

Honest to god essentially a milkshake with a sweet pie blended into it.

Absolutely delicious, almost certainly a food crime.
