Thames Water has been given a £3 billion bailout, paid for by you and me. Why should households have to pay for the mess that Thames Water got itself into, just so execs and shareholders can protect their profits? There is a better solution: take water into public ownership.
…$20,000 for a 6ft portrait of himself and $10,000 for another portrait of himself. So he fraudulently set up a charity, gave the donations to himself and used them to bribe legal investigators, win court cases, and buy absurdly expensive vanity items. Corruption and fraud runs deep with this guy
Just googled the charity fraud, that’s absolutely fucking scandalous. According to the Guardian, he paid $25,000 from his ‘charity’ to Florida’s attorney general to convince her not to investigate Trump University, $258,000 to settle legal disputes, $12,000 for a signed football helmet… (1)
Does it have a fan rotom in it by any chance

‘Rape is okay and people need to pay my country back for the privilege of being enslaved by us’ has got to be the most insane take I’ve heard all year. How the fuck can people genuinely believe this
I walk to college every morning and I normally walk past an enormous traffic jam down this big hill. I’ve normally walked down it before people have driven down it. And that’s why we need walkable cities because being confined to a car sucks when there’s congestion every morning
I’m gonna continue to call it its actual name because my government hasn’t decided to rename it on a stupid whim lol
God damn I can’t stand people who pronounce it like data
Kinda both I think
That’s the stupidest shit I’ve ever heard lol- it’s fantasy. Written by a right wing author. The fact it offends them still is kinda funny
It’s funny to me when people call themselves free speech absolutists but then ban the word cisgender on twitter
Have all of these been banned somewhere in America?? Because can someone explain to me how tf the first Harry Potter offends a conservative
‘Territorial expansion’ is a nice euphemism for ‘illegal invasion’
He says some new bullshit he’s never gonna follow up on every day, he’ll probably forget he said it tomorrow
Immediate relief from falling into a huge pit that should certainly kill you. Bonus points if it’s got a huge monster in the bottom
Except no one really dies from falling to their death because Disney needs to resurrect Boba and Palpatine for content
Can’t stand people who pronounce it scone man
