If someone owns a property, surely it is theirs to do with as they please? The ‘we know best’ mentality runs through this government like a stick of rock. At some point, the government decided it existed to control people, and not serve them. Vile.
I said it in 2020 and I’ll say it again. If you leave a home empty long-term in the middle of a housing crisis, it should be seized. Today’s announcement is great news.

A nationwide alert telling us to not start a fire where the entire field could ignite. OBVIOUSLY. I hate the Government so very much.

Get the right people and you don’t need lots of people. You can take that to the bank when it comes to making software.

People who commit public mass murders should be executed. I don't even know why this is considered 'controversial'. These cases are clear cut. There are no excuses, it's perfectly just, and there is zero probability of executing the wrong person. Just get rid of them.

Made me laugh anyway
Be careful we have had a mm of #snow in the uk Be careful today #snow It snowed last night... 8:00 am: I made a snowman. 8:10 - A feminist passed by and asked me why I didn't make a snow woman. 8:15 - So, I made a snow woman. 8:17 - My feminist neighbor complained about the snow woman's voluptuous chest saying it objectified snow women everywhere. 8:20 - The gay couple living nearby threw a hissy fit and moaned it could have been two snow men instead. 8:22 - The transgender man..women...person asked why I didn't just make one snow person with detachable parts. 8:25 - The vegans at the end of the lane complained about the carrot nose, as veggies are food and not to decorate snow figures with. 8:28 - I was being called a racist because the snow couple is white. 8:31 - The middle eastern gent across the road demanded the snow woman be covered up . 8:40 - The Police arrived saying someone had been offended. 8:42 - The feminist neighbor complained again that the broomstick of the snow woman needed to be removed because it depicted women in a domestic role. 8:43 - The council equality officer arrived and threatened me with eviction. 8:45 - TV news crew from BBC showed up. I was asked if I know the difference between snowmen and snow-women? I replied "Snowballs" and am now called a sexist. 9:00 - I was on the News as a suspected terrorist, racist, homophobe sensibility offender, bent on stirring up trouble during difficult weather. 9:10 - I was asked if I have any accomplices. My children were taken by social services. 9:29 - Far left protesters offended by everything marched down the street demanding for me to be arrested. By noon it all melted Moral: There is no moral to this story. It is what we have become, all because of snowflakes

What I would actually like from @Apple this year: - the ability to have dual-pane Finder in macOS - autocorrect that actually works - Siri that actually works If they did nothing else but fix those issues it would be the best release in years! Instead we have that new UI 🙄
