Down with the UK state's accursed sugar tax (“Soft Drinks Industry Levy"). Aspartame, my arse! Bring back proper fizzy pop!

For the near future this account will primarily be used in a quixotic one-man crusade against the UK bandit state’s accursed sugar tax (“Soft Drinks Industry Levy”) and the subsequent lack of any decent fizzy pop in Britain.

There’s basically no price differentiation in the entire bottom half of the labour market and then people act surprised when gluts and shortages emerge. Obviously, when all jobs pay the same, people will choose between them based solely on factors like which jobs are nicer to do.
This is totally crazy if true. The median hourly pay for a 21 year old was £13.00 in 2025...

>I'm not on benefits >Paying a rent from the 90s Many such cases.
'I'm a single mum on £41,000 and limit my weekly shop to £40.' What do you want from the Budget? bbc.in/3W7Qkt9

Thanks anyway, Mr Bezos, but I think I’m pulling my toenails out that night,
The replicants have risen. Humanity has fallen. Blade Runner 2099, a new limited series, premieres November 25th on Prime Video.

Bwahahaha, TFL tried to depict a balding middle-aged man in that vile Corporate Memphis art style and it ended up looking like something else.
Disgusting insinuation in this campaign. Absolutely appalling @MayorofLondon @TfL @ACT

I’d say “learn to code”, but that ship has also sailed.
Welp. The reaction to this is purely the reason I've been spending much less time on this app. It rewards toxicity at the expense of rational, thoughtful conversation.

A lot of nominally anti-immigration people have a really bad mental model of the world, and they don't really understand on a visceral level what the population levels of India, Nigeria, Pakistan, Philippines etc look like - there is a de facto *infinite* supply of these people and by simple entropic logic they will get *everywhere* in the absence of extremely strict controls at both ends.

I love how @zannymb (the media personification of the smug European consensus that has inflicted such demographic disaster on our continent), must rely on meaningless snarl words like “scary” and “dog whistle”, only to be surgically rebuffed with cold, hard Teutonic reason.
The leftist propagandist who asked Elon Musk if he understood why people loathe him just tried to pressure AfD leader Alice Weidel into disavowing remigration because Syrian and Afghan migrants find it scary. Weidel doubles down: They all have to go back. They’re responsible for most of the crime. We don’t want a caliphate in our country.

Compared to useless Google, AI is a magic oracle for retrieving childhood memories when given only vague clues: "A book I read in the late 1980s. It had Captain Hook in it. Mentioned he went to Eton. Maybe involved travel between worlds?". archive.org/details/captainh…

These are the kind of people who say “you need to find your real family” and it’s a furry, a transbian and a sex offender living in a bedsit that smells of toilets and mildew.
Consent is woke now lads.

All stats (when not covered-up) show child abuse is much more likely from step-parents and other non-blood household residents and visitors. It’s off the charts when strangers live with kids (see eg: all gov care homes everywhere at all times). Destroying families causes abuse.
Replying to @CryptoCurJoker
Consider the widespread abuse within families it is absolutely vital that grandparents are reinforcing the importance of consent.
