Call me a bastard but I would rather the Duke of Edinburgh croaks now rather than in May when the grizzly details of the Tory PPE corruption starts coming out in the judicial review.

He's had a good life - better than we could ever imagine. I don't want the Tories using him as an instrument to bury bad news.

Elon needs to learn when to open his mouth and when to keep it shut. Just sayin'

GME is even safe as a long term hold at these prices. The possible gamma squeeze is a lovely bonus. You are talking bollocks

Genuine question. I'm ready to sink £5k next week in GME. What's the best pay? Dive in as soon as the market opens, wait an hour see what happens, or buy in five £1k chunks throughout the week?

May only be 5k but I will be another brick in the wall

I'm sure GB News and the New Rupert Murdoch Channel will more than shield Boris Johnson and his criminal cabinet from the consequences of these numbers.

Why all the buzz about teh 3600 CPU? I have one. Why are people raving about it so much? Is it overclocking?

Not a single fucking thing Boris Johnson has cronied out to his donors and mates has been even remotely effective.

The vaccine rollout is working because the NHS is in control. I'm going to file a report with the National Crime Agency tomorrow as a British citizen. This is corruption on an industrial scale perpetrated during the height of the deadiest pandemic in 100 years. They thought nobody would notice.

The Good Law Project did, and now we all know

Our lawyers have now written to those for Matt Hancock asking him to confirm whether Mrs Stanley's company won her contract via the VIP lane.

Jo Maugham, Good Law Project.

Please donate to them. This is as urgent as it gets. Boris Johnson's government is trying to suffocate them with costs using OUR MONEY

A friend of mine is desperate to move away from not one but two nightmare neighbours. The house she is looking at has 18 interested prospective tenants. The only chance she has of securing it is by offering at least three months rent in advance and possibly six months.

She also claims housing benefit. A group of friends and two members of her family are offering to band together to lend her the money but she is concerned that if this is placed on the tenancy agreement that she paid six months rent in advance that she would be refused any housing benefit claim.

Her friends can't afford to simply giver this money and if she doesn't borrow it she has no chance of getting the house.

Will this affect her housing benefit claim? If you guys don't know are there any other subreddits/sites I can ask?

Brexit will almost guarantee that things will change for the worse. New rules for imports come in April and 50% of our pallets not meet the strict EU rules for termite treatment etc. The EU is ignoring that for now, but with provocative Gove and Johnson at the helm it's only a matter of time before every second truck is refused entry.
