NEW: Tennis star Kamil Majchrzak is looking for a young boy who had a hat snatched from him by a grown man at the US Open. Majchrzak was seen trying to hand the boy his hat when a grown man took it and stashed it in a bag. "After the match, I didn't record that my cap didn't get to the boy ... Could you help me find the kid from my match?" Majchrzak said on IG.

there is something very, very, very wrong in the system... 😡 So … let me get this straight: * British Gas made a profit of £1.3bn between January & June * BP announced profits of £6.95 billion between April and June alone * Shell has profited by £9.4bn in a year The MEN at the top: * John Pettigrew, boss of National Grid received £6.5m bonus on top of his salary * Chris O’Shea, chief executive of British Gas owner Centrica was paid almost £2m last year in salary and benefits * Centrica's non-executive directors were paid almost £1m * Scottish Power's CEO Keith Anderson is on £1.15m. * E.On boss Michael Lewis is on £1m * EDF's Simone Rossi is also on £1m * And their top execs enjoyed a share of £4.65m * Peter Simpson of Anglian Water earned a £1.3m pay package * Welsh Water bosses awarded themselves bonuses of over £930,000 * Severn Trent bosses awarded themselves bonuses of £5.56m * Thames Water's Sarah Bentley, received a £727,000 bonus on top of her £2m annual salary Meanwhile there are... * People who haven't had breakfast and/or lunch TODAY, because they can't afford it. * People using FoodBanks because food is becoming more of a luxury than a necessity. * Children celebrating a birthday without presents. * Parents worrying about new school uniforms - and some schools enforcing rules which are not cost-effective. * People who can't get to work because they can't afford to put petrol in their cars/pay for public transport anymore. * People who are working so much they're making themselves ill, and they STILL CAN'T AFFORD to pay their bills. * People who have been given fines by these same energy/water companies because they couldn't afford to pay their bills in the first place - increasing their debt. * Customers being told to do STAR JUMPS TO KEEP WARM for crying out loud! * Hose pipe bans when gallons of water leak away everyday. * Elderly people NOT DRINKING because they're worried about running out of water!!! All this and energy prices are set to rise up to 75% in October... THIS IS MADNESS!.. I'm all for supporting profits … I'm not for supporting greed at the cost of lives of others. Something needs to change. Why is customers' money being used to make life more comfortable for those who are making life more intolerable for the rest of us? I actually don't understand how the energy companies are allowed to get away with this and why the government aren't stopping them instead of handing out money.

This is Lord Rothermere the owner of the Daily Mail. He lives in a massive mansion in the English countryside, but he pays no tax here because he identifies as French. While the Daily Mail is registered in Bermuda and pays no tax anywhere. That is his ‘Patriotism’.

Lord Bamford owes £500,000,000 to HMRC he has retired from the House of Lords and fled. He expects his debt just like Michelle Mone's £232,000,000 debt to be written off. We must recover every penny from these thieves, and toss them in jail.

Yesterday they gave £3bn to Thames Water. Today they have to take £5bn off Disabled people. It should be the other way around.

Tesco have written to Rachel Reeves to say they can’t cover the increase in costs caused by NIC increases. Their own figures show an increased pre tax cost of £0.25bn a year. It is hard to see how the shareholders of a company with a pre-tax profit of £2.9bn can afford that.

Michelle Mone has owed the Government £232,000,000 as decided by a court 20 months ago. She hasn't paid a penny, instead jetting and super yachting around the world. She needs to pay, lets start with her £60m yacht.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Michelle Mone is currently under investigation by the National Crime Agency and has had assets frozen. She is yet to be proven guilty of anything. theguardian.com/uk-news/2024/j…

Very nice to see this doing the rounds again. When I was a little kid I used to go to Manchester and come back with the accent. Harry and Paul thought this was very funny so wrote the sketch. The timing was perfect. 😎

If you want to see Michelle Mone kicked out of the House of Lords and arrested until she pays the £232,000,000 she owes give this a RT. If you want Rishi Sunak's involvement in the £14,900,000,000 PPE Fraud he covered up investigated, LIKE.

England has the only privatised Water in Europe, the most water pollution, and the most expensive water. The UK has the only fully privatised energy, and the most expensive. England has privatised rail, the slowest, least reliable and of course the most expensive in Europe.
