I met a customer today who told me they used our offer of free dry cleaning for their interview…and they got the job!

"I have to convict you... You should feel guilty for nothing." A truly extraordinary summation from Judge Wilkinson in this Just Stop Oil case juststopoil.org/2023/02/16/y…

Disgracefully insensitive comment by US terf Lionel Shriver about stabbings, saying police shouldn’t bother with the ‘nonsense’ of pronouns - in the week trans teenager Brianna Ghey was murdered. Bullying and mockery is the first step - violence follows. Idiots. #BBCQT
Felt like a bit of sewing machine doodling today. Hoping to create something inspirational.... this is what happened.

The French are going on General Strike March 7th because retirement is going to 64.
Their Energy bills are 40% of ours
They retire 6 years earlier
Their pension is 3x higher
Their wages are 25% higher
Yet still they will strike. Why are they better off?
Because they strike

🧵 Today we publish a report showing that the majority of those men, women and children who cross the Channel on small boats would be granted asylum in the UK because they are fleeing war and persecution. Here’s how the Home Office tried to rubbish our report last night….
Yesterday's prepping for today's Tuesday Sewing Group. Beginning some quilting after focussing on embroidery for the last 18 months.

The Telegraph “informs” me today that inflation is down considerably in US, Germany, France, Switzerland, Japan.
Yet very high in UK!
It says the difference is due to:
- strikers!
- WFH!
Can anyone think of any other reason UNIQUE to UK?
What an inane fvkwit rag!

Last week, terrorists abducted 50 women near Arbinda, Northern Burkina Faso.
Speaking about gender-based violence at a @UN_Women panel in #Davos on the margins of #wef23, I had to start with a call to #FreeArbindaWomen.

The British are docile cap-doffing ill informed subjects; the French are enlightened and informed citizens capable of understanding and demanding and defending the protection of their rights.
