UK inflation is caused by profiteering Since the pandemic electricity generation companies hiked profit margins by 198%. Electricity/Gas supply margins up 363%. Shipping up by 650 times. Health and social work up by 118%. People impoverished. Can't rebuild economy without ending profiteering.

Off the plane , bombed it to the station . Train cancelled with 5 minutes notice . Broken Britain 😩

Quarter to ten I’m finished . The bus ride and shopping expedition today has me insight into what it must have been like to work on the Burma railway . I’ve never sweated so much in me life 🥵🥵🥵

Was a bit pissed last night . Woke up this morning and me teeth felt dead funny. Felt soft . Was lying in bed thinking , Fukn hell I’ll have to get up and ring the dentist first thing . Didn’t realise it was the Fukn gumshield they gave me 😩😩😩 how I remembered to put it in I’ll never know

Lost me reading glasses and me reserve reading glasses. And not a home and bargain to be found 😩😩😩

If this score line stays the same at Selhurst I’m expecting the added time to be calculated with a calendar not a watch

We live in dangerous times #AI

Fella never took the KL08 bus from Fener to yildiz in 35 degree heat 😩😩😩

Well this is better than the bus 👌👌👌👌

40 Fukn minutes on that bus . Gets to the shop , it’s Fukn online only 😩😩😩😩 Fella seen my look of near mental collapse and let me pick some stuff out and pay him in cash . I’ve had to come to the kebab shop to regain my strength 😩😩😩

Fukn hell this must be how Billy hayes must have felt when he escaped a Turkish prison . I’m Fukn soaked in sweat and shaking like a shitting dog 😩😩😩😩🔥🔥🔥

Half an hour on the hottest , most crowded , jerky bus ride to reach a Fukn kpop shop on the far side of Antalya need my Fukn head examined 😩😩😩

I wonder if this guy is related to "Boris Johnson" who introduced "voter id" as Prime Minister in 2023 ... off the back of some crazy US conspiracy theories ... and in the process, made digital ID pretty much inevitable.

All the young people are going to fuck off and Britain will just be an island of old racists driving their mobility scooters to Wetherspoons in the drizzle to moan about brown people.

Another day of excessive sweating on the Turkish bus system 😥😥😥

OBAMA: It's fair to say that 80% of the world's problems involve old men hanging on who are afraid of death and insignificance, and they won't let go. They build pyramids, and they put their names on everything. They get very anxious about it.

Wish I wasn’t pissed last night cos this was boss. I was the only non Turk in there . They were all singing along . It was like what I imagine a deacon blue concert to be like at the arena

Just been the Hammam . Which after a skin full of red wine last night and my natural inability to stand heat might not have been the greatest idea . Honestly thought I was gonna die . Steam , sauna, Turkish bath then a brutal pummelling by a big Turk . £18 I feel great .

Stumbling home , I’ve lost me glasses . Can see my typing . Talking to this lad fishing. Then an about ro go ro bed ..sees this queue gets on the end . I’m now in concert of anyaas most favourite singer feeyra sepom 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

Galatasaray are on , the dominoes lads are i, the waiters shook my hand when I came in .the wine is far far nicer than imagined.if I have teeth .if i could grow a muzzy id just live here

The song that was my gateway drug to jazz .and it’s Turkish. I’m going to get drunk

Possibly the thing I like best about this place , it’s full of picnic tables And the locals come out and have their tea on them . Or have a bevvy . Sometimes whole families . And you know if we has this by ours it would be ruined in about a week .

This deserves *way* more attention than it’s getting Reform’s former Wales leader admits he received corrupt payments in exchange for making statements in the European Parliament to promote Russia’s interests in #Ukraine.

The Irish fella is been Having a bevvy with has gone home , so I’m back from drinking down the front with the locals . Fitting analogy for my current mood

Went out to buy water and ended up with cake, these teeth gonna add 10 lbs . Saying that I’ve just blinked and lost a pound in sweat 🔥🔥🔥

GNASHERS ARE IN ….,,REPEAT GNASHERS ARE IN

“Stick it in first!” “I did, but the car’s still going”

Just a Man City barbers in some some random outlying Antalya suburb . Need to find out the Turkish for “give me a Denis Tuart please “

Like that fella on Ireland who filmed himself with the horse 🙄
