Don’t look now Goose but Breaking News!

The population of England and Wales has grown by more than 700,000 in the year to June 2024 - the second-largest increase in over 75 years.

The change was largely fuelled by international migration, with natural change - the difference between births and deaths - accounting for only a small proportion.

It's the unnecessarily dramatic movie orchestra played over the top of a bit of pitch and putt for me. I was half expecting Godzilla to rise out of the bunker.

For more than a decade, Britannia Hotelsearned a dubious distinction. In annual surveys by consumer group Which?, it repeatedly emerged as the UK’s worst hotel chain. In 2023, it achieved this honour for the 11th year running, with complaints ranging from cleanliness and room quality to customer service issues.Yet the man behind the business hasn’t done too badly. Alex Langsam, who founded the chain nearly 40 years ago and remains its chief executive to this day, was estimated to be worth £401m in this year’s Sunday Times Rich List.The 87-year-old’s wealth has been bolstered in recent years by the Government’s use of his hotels to accommodate asylum seekers via lucrative taxpayer-funded contracts. In fact, his empire of more than 60 sites has become so well-known as a go-to chain for migrant accommodation that Langsam himself has been dubbed the “asylum king”.

MAGA!

Why would Russia be the big loser when the EU have already sanctioned Russian fossil fuels.

Russia is now less than 5% of EU energy. They’ve already lost on that front.

You’re next Mercedes will cost more. Deffo “winning”.

No, although I like Mercedes my next car will be a pick up truck, one made in the USA, so no Tariffs, that will probably be my last car. I’m 59 in November. So I’ll keep my Mercedes for a couple more years before I buy the truck, once my kids are out of college.
Looking to retire lake side, couple of Dogs, Miniature Donkey, a couple of goats, chicken run, a boat for fishing, that sounds like a nice way to see out my days.

So this deal ensures that the west continues to step on the Russians throats for energy, good news! At least the EU won’t be funding the Russian war machine any longer. It’s about fucking time!

How about you?
