Taxes are voluntary

Sadly the only thing that seems to be able to beat it into people how fucking insignificant they are is war. The more brutal, the more depraved the better. Until then you will have the MAGA mob - and their UK analog - poncing around as if they are all that matter.

Maybe it's connected to a decline in religion ?

So sorry willow

Was wondering how you were feeling in general as well. Seemed a stupid question considering everything! Glad your health is improving.

@Willowkins you have got a lot to contend with, so sorry to hear about Blanket. I'm attaching a portion of Cannelloni (that's his name) by way of comfort food.

😢

I'm so sorry @Willowkins. 😢

Here is Tolkien holding me personally responsible for the rain the other day. And little Tennyson being very unimpressed with not being able to go out on his 18 months birthday.

So sorry @Willowkins our last feline friend is under the roses. Every year when they bloom I think of her and our last dog.

Some sea tax.

Not really sure what this thread is about, but I was gobsmacked by the massive amount Farage was/is paid by GB news. Which made me wonder who is funding GB news, anyone know? Can't be all from their rubbish adverts.

Sorry willow x

Sir Paul Marshall, hedge fund manager. Wanted to be a lib dem MP, failed. Also funds Unherd, The Spectator and was trying to buy the Telegraph (although looks like he's pulled out).

Got stung by Hope not Hate last year for liking/retweeting a load of far right and antimuslim content.

Also an Evangelical Christian, not that it should be relevant but I'm noticing it's a common feature of people with this alt-right type views.

Oh @Willowkins 💐

@Willowkins 💐 to you

No cat here I'm afraid but a sunset two nights ago

Thx for thread Duncin

So sorry @willowkins we had to say a very sudden and unexpected goodbye to our cat at the weekend. It is just 💔💔💔.

It's part owned by the Legatum Institute I think - Dubai based although also has links to Bermuda and Cayman Islands. Closely aligned with vote Leave/IEAs Matthew Elliot/Gisela Stuart. Has received donations from neoconservative Trump supporters. I think they also fund Restore Trust which wants to get the woke history and lanyards out of the National Trust.

🌹And 🍫 for @Willowkins and @PandoraSox and, once again, I remain petless, save the industrious window spiders living on my patio doors. I won't scare people away from the thread with photos of them 🕷️

I'm sorry for all those missing much loved pets and recuperating from illnesses and operations.

We plant apple trees for our pets. 🌳 (I don't talk to the trees honest).

I'm sorry about your cat too Pandora

Sending very in MN love and peace to everyone. It seems as a collective there's a lot of sadness and illness around atm.

I thank you for not providing evidence.

Checking in. Threads still rattling by!
So sorry hear of people's woes and pets 💐

Mini Cat - hopes you all feel better soon.

Oops.

I don’t think the nation will go into mourning.

Oh dear. You sent him everything as you always do, but someone found out...

She could just ask him different questions

Of course you did, Laura.

I wonder who blew the whistle?
