Please don't buy into this nonsense. More than a fifth of Jamaican surnames are Scottish in origin. Glasgow was built on the tobacco and sugar trade. Look at the street names. Scots made up 30% of Caribbean plantation owners.

Who the fuck is beating us to first?
Kemi Badenoch has said that Edinburgh is the UK's 'second city' - a view shared by only 12% of Britons Instead the public split between 34% Manchester vs 30% Birmingham, with answers depending heavily on where people live

If anyone is wondering why Iโ€™ve picked my avatar. We need 1000 more Luigiโ€™s.
A 22-year-old needed his inhaler. He needed his rent money more. He didn't survive the choice. Cole Schmidtknecht walked into a pharmacy on January 10, 2024, expecting to pay $35 to $66 under his insurance. The bill came to $539.19. His daily preventative inhaler wasn't covered anymore. He earned $19 an hour. Rent was coming. Five days later, on January 15, a severe asthma attack sent him into cardiac arrest. He was taken off life support on January 21. His parents have filed a federal lawsuit alleging nobody gave adequate notice of the coverage change or offered an affordable alternative. He wasn't careless. He just did the math.

There are obviously people who want to go to London, but itโ€™s fairly obvious that a large number of flights are connections. Not everyone wants to go to Atalanta but itโ€™s a hub due to itโ€™s central location. Why are people not getting this?
One of the busiest airports in the world, and he's pulling the "Norf" card. The issue here is that people who fly to Heathrow mainly want to go to London, not Manchester. If they wanted to go to Manchester, they would fly to fucking Manchester.

โ€ฆor even just a connection via Manchester, would make no difference to us. It would also open up Liverpool, Manchester & the Lake District to more tourism, better business opportunities & Heathrow would likely still be at its current capacity.

A perfect example, my brother lives in Arizona, so we fly to Phoenix, either through Heathrow, or Chicago/Washington. If there was a direct Manchester - Phoenix route, the train that goes from Edinburgh to Manchester Airport, or just driving down, would be far preferableโ€ฆ

Reached the end of a PCP with ยฃ8k negative equity. Hid an AirTag in the trim, handed car back to finance company. Tracked the car to a dealer and bought it at the market price. Saved ยฃ7k and they washed and cleaned the car.

The state pension was 16% of the median average salary in 2010. Itโ€™s projected to be 30-37% this year. They canโ€™t just keep getting above inflation increases forever.

Hereโ€™s me thinking it was just going to be a โ€œScotland fan support whoever England are playing againstโ€ joke.
Just saw a bloke in Tesco buy 10 six packs of San Miguel, 20 paella ready meals, 10 boxes of tacos and 3 sombreros....I thought, here we go, Hispanic buying againโ€ฆ Mornin!

I'm his daughter. Maybe instead of praying, you can work on gun reform legislation.
I am deeply heartbroken by the harm aimed at a middle school teacher in Hobbs today. Praying for Mr. Matthews, his family, our students, and our entire school community. โค๏ธโ€๐Ÿฉน

Nepal's PM Balen Shah: We have built a world with flawless logistics for war and broken logistics for food. And this is not Nepalโ€™s private misfortune. Ask Bangladesh, ask Bhutan, ask India, ask the Maldives, ask Pakistan, ask Sri Lanka, ask any other country in our region and youโ€™ll hear the same account. Hit by the climate we did not warm and again hit by the wars we did not start.
