" #PrivateEquity is the cause of the death of the #Scottish high street. PE is the cause of mass extraction of wealth out of #Britain and into primarily #American coffers — an act that is fuelling the poverty and fall in #PublicServices which in turn causes discontent, alienation and instability."

" #Britain is poor and insignificant today because generations of politicians created a set of rules that turned #UK into an international fire sale.
Any overseas Goodfella could come here, buy what they liked, exploit a once-great #British asset and then toss it away when it was drained of value."

My son does this 😁 A colleague once asked me which was my favourite child. He said quite seriously, as if it were a given, that all parents have a favourite. I felt sorry for him!

Tbf, won’t specify the condition but I have had swift diagnosis and prompt, exemplary and joined up treatment from the much-maligned Welsh NHS.

But what will “Restore Trust” say about it? Will they start whining about vegan scones?

I know. I accidentally drank some last week. 😱

On utilisait ces mêmes verres dans mon école primaire pendant les 1960s. En Angleterre.

Not so much up. It was a chilly day 🥶

I still maintain that “Jenrick” is really the name of Jennifer and Richard’s suburban semi.

To which we must ask, and Jason Arday?

They actually make a ceremony out of it and the girl is generally delighted. Who knows? 🤷‍♀️

Isnt that the nudist beach in North Wales? We were obliged with a full frontal from a chap in the sea while innocently walking there once.

It’s all so bizarre. Couples can have sex but still see other people, next stage is to become “exclusive” and only after that is the girl formally invited to “be my girlfriend.”

Even as a child I felt for poor Susan, vilified for wearing a bit of lipstick and paying for it by having all her siblings wiped out.

You can’t get gits like that to admit anything! Shuffling off of responsibility is their default mode.

@jalata.bsky.socialOct 13, 2026, 12:57 PM

A shameless individual, totally without principles.

Just returned from holiday to find the local “TG Jones” emptied and closed. How is this asset-stripping of our communities allowed to happen?
