If you want info of (experienced) activists running evacuations in Eastern Ukraine for whom donations would make a big difference right now hit me up. The money you send won't buy guns and won't be swallowed by a big org.

Because I am an absolute pest, I filed an FOI request to find out how much money the Tower of London spends keeping the ravens. Roughly £40k/yr. They also spent £157k on a new raven enclosure in 2015, which means the ravens could have bought a two bedroom flat in West Norwood

After 2 weeks of multiple health screens and asking everyone to quarantine, I surprised my closest inner circle with a trip to a private island where we could pretend things were normal just for a brief moment in time.

The government *told* people to return to work and *asked* them not to use public transport to get there. There's no alternative transport provision. The government knew what that meant, workers knew what it meant and journalists knew what it meant; do we need this faux surprise?
Buses in London are packed with passengers this morning, despite the govt asking people to avoid public transport if possible when the #coronavirus lockdown eased. Follow live as England gets back to work: trib.al/fANtpdg

Just in case anyone wanted to feel sympathy for this guy, this is what the wage percentile curve in the UK looks like. It's STEEP. 80% of UK wage earners earn LESS THAN HALF of what this dude earns, and 40% earn less than a quarter. He should stop whining and pay his fair share.
“I’d like to call out Labour as liars. I am one of the people he will tax more” This audience member, who earns over £80,000, criticises the taxation promises in the Labour Party manifesto. #bbcqt
