Homophones!

The NHS did trial those, but they didn't improve communication. So, fun fact, they remain the world's largest buyer of fax machines. Because you can ignore a Fax. **

What happens when a serious, responsible politician does the right thing, even if it makes him unpopular? Even if it puts his re-election in jeopardy?

"Sadiq Khan has hailed a new report that suggests the capital's ultra low emission zone (ULEZ) has curbed more air pollution than is produced by two of London's airports or its river and rail transport combined. The study found that the £12.50 charge zone and the pre-existing low-emission zone (LEZ) resulted in a decrease in road traffic particulate matter (PM2.5) emissions by 180 tonnes across the city over a three year period."

Turns out Blackpool Tower wan't on fire.
It was in fact a piece of orange builders netting flapping madly in the wind.
Sadly, this piece of information arrived a bit too late for 'Turning Point UK', who had already decided the 'fire' was the work of Muslims.
Risible twats.

Probably due to less cars going there.
12.50 doesn't actually reduce any carbon

Genghis Khan is a hypocritical twat.

That has enabled five million Londoners to breath cleaner air

We need more 'twats' that get results

It needs burning down , do you know it cost more to got the top of Blackpool Tower than it does to go atop the Eiffel, talk about a f**king cheek.

It transpires that the record NHS budget was caused by adding the £14.9bn PPE Fraud and Dido Harding's £36bn Test and Trace onto the NHS Budget. So in in reality the NHS budget has been cut for every single one of the 13 years that the Conservatives have been in charge.
Now they are set to abolish Inheritance Tax because they have stolen all the tax we had so all they can do now is ensure that are not the ones refilling the coffers.
As it stands there will be no end to this governments criminality and deceit until we have a free press and not one owned by off shore oligarchs.
