The taxpayer is just pure game
I would love to know how exactly the state can reduce a persons state pension because they undervalued their home?
I wonder will the refugees all 200 thousand they have planned to take will pay tax
And it’s only fair anyone housing refugees have their property tax removed

God the bedrudgers
I doubt the royal family will ever be able to celebrate a monarch being on the throne for 70 years again
Let’s face it Charles will be pretty bad value for money so let their be a king Willie (no pun intended &bet scottser will love that)
Watched the celebration and it was fantastic
Of course the spin off is going to bring in plenty of tourists

The Platinum Jubilee is a fantastic opportunity for the people who can’t afford to heat or eat to celebrate a woman who owns a £3 million hat, a £25 million chair, 30 palaces and a £1 billion jewel collection.
I think Sri Lanka will be getting all the wrong kinds of Chinese souvenirs according to the FT as I predicted about a month ago here despite the usual knownothingism trolls insisting they knew better.

Looking forward to celebrations over the Platinum Jubilee four-day bank holiday weekend in June.
We’re in the advanced stages of helping to plan a street party near our UK gaff – proper old school bunting and cream teas with pork pies and lots of strawberries.
It’s a great way to meet the neighbours and have a natter – a couple of families have put up Ukrainian refugees so they’ll really appreciate the fun – and we’ll raise a few bob for charity.
There won’t be a community in the land where some sort of celebration hasn’t been planned.
” Spectacular moments in London and other major cities will be complemented by events in communities across the UK and the Commonwealth, allowing people to join together in celebration and thanks at a national and local level.
Plans for the Platinum Jubilee are being developed in conjunction with some of the UK’s leading creative minds, event organisers and world class digital design companies. Using the talents of the UK’s cultural and creative sectors, the programme will engage young people from across the Commonwealth and use new technology in exciting ways. ”
I’m no royalist but there’s going to be some knees-up in Blighty that weekend.
Her Majesty is a beloved institution.

To the person behind this goading Charger / TenPin character- why do you need to spend so much of your life living in that fantasy world? I am not having a go but is it some sort of mental illness where you feel better hiding behind a caricature?
Surely you must be aware that nobody actually believes your spiel and BS- so why bother?

Shouldn’t you be knocking one out over your Putin wallposter ?
You see, that’s far more polite than ” do one “.

SOQ
What is the purpose of the goading caricature?
TenPin Terry
Caricature ?
I’ll have you know I’ve spent the weekend grappling with computer art apps to create a poster for the event. I’m rather proud of it.
Lots of red, white and blue, some heraldry and the inevitable lions rampant.
If it’s anything like the Golden Jubilee street party then it’s going to be a cracker. It was like a good Paddy’s Day but without the feckless drunks and boggers wearing leprachaun hats.
And you Queenie ? Another weekend doing Putin’s propaganda work for one of the most homophobic regimes in the world and spreading the latest anti-vaxx conspiracy lunancy ?
You poor thing.
The gayers I know are a lot more fun.
SOQ
No one believes your caricature BS? No more than in your previous Charger incarnation- so why the need to do it?

Meanwhile instead of peace being the number one priority the west is just fuelling and prolonging the suffering of the Ukrainian people
Billions on weapons for what
At the end of the day Russia is the winner
They are just about to take possession of ukraines industrial heartland and the poor saps left with having to live with the consequences
They will withdraw and of course the Ukrainians will eat a poo sandwich
Of course the elite will relocate and odds are on zelensky will head to the USA with his billions
Unless NATO and the EU invade Russia
The question we must ask ourselves is
Is Ukraine and zelensky worth WW3
The answer is no but the Ukrainians are going to suffer for decades with a ruined nation and the debts to pay for the war and we depending on how long this lasts are going to be thousands of euro out of pocket
And who pays for the rumoured 200 thousand Ukrainian refugees

One dead, multiple people injured in California church shooting:
“…A Taiwanese congregation was in the church at the time of the shooting, Undersheriff Jeff Hallock said. Authorities are interviewing more than 30 people who were inside the church at the time. The victims were described as mostly Asian and mostly of Taiwanese descent, authorities said. The oldest victim was 92. A law enforcement source said officials believe the suspect was a 68-year-old Asian man who is originally from Las Vegas. The source said after the suspect opened fire he was “subdued” by parishioners. No other details were available…”

4chan posters ‘lamenting’ the murders in Buffalo perpetrated by a former devotee of their forum:
“Buyers on incomes of €100,000 will be eligible for a government affordable homes scheme that will give them interest-free subsidies, the Irish Independent can reveal. This has been described as unacceptable by the opposition.
There is an allocation of €60m this year to deliver around 550 homes under the Affordable Housing Fund, a scheme signed into law by Housing Minister Darragh O’Brien. However, it has emerged that the just-published regulations underpinning the scheme will allow home buyers on incomes of up to €100,000 qualify for it.
Sinn Féin housing spokesman Eoin Ó Broin said this made a mockery of the word affordable…Sinn Féin’s Mr Ó Broin said: “The eligibility criteria are far too broad and would see scarce resources going to people who don’t need it.” He said describing €410,000 homes as “affordable” made a mockery of the word…”

You keep invoking Ukraine history as if it justifies the invasion, and yet it never does. For example what is it about the Ukrainian famine caused by Stalin that justifies this invasion? What is it about Putin starting the separatist conflict that justifies this invasion? To pick just two episodes of Russia messing with Ukraine.
