Ah good old Malthusian theory. That one has come up before . 'Are there no prisons? Are there no workhouses?'.

Here's my girl xxx

She is beautiful.

Just post a comment reminding everyone that state pensions are benefits.

She is gorgeous 😻

😻 She’s beautiful

Oh, she's beautiful.

I like to tell people my boys were born in the workhouse. It became the local maternity hospital.

I was born in the hospital that was on the footprint of the former workhorse. Given that the former workhorse was in existence during the Great Deliberate Starvation and subsequent Famine in Ireland, the building was assessed unfit for refurbishment because of the cholera typhus and dysentery. It was a large workhorse that had the greatest number of deaths within any workhouse in Ireland.

In the town where I was born, there was a Lord, representing in the House of Lords to ask for money, who was shocked at the conditions of everyone in poverty during the enforced Famine. He died from typhus at the age of 52 whilst trying to help those afflicted.

Double cat tax...

@takingcareofme2023 your girl is beautiful, don’t give up hope my girl turned up over five months after she disappeared. There is a charity called Harvey’s Army that will help you publicise that she is missing and they make you a poster to print and share online. It was one of their volunteers that went and scanned her after someone phoned them to say they had found my cat. Do make sure her chip details are up to date as well as the lady said they often find phone numbers are not current ones.

How did I forget Andrea Jenkyns?!

@takingcareofme2023 so sorry your lovely cat is missing was just about to post that I thought Evenstar had a cat return home after quite a while missing don’t give up hope, also very sorry to read you are struggling it’s horrible when you feel so low think a great many of us can relate especially after Saturday it’s hard picking yourself up, I live in hope the government will now realise they have to start pushing back not to even try & out reform reform & hopefully get on with doing more good things that will benefit the country 💐

We know what reform thinks of the voters now by accepting her.

The hospital I was born in also originally a workhouse it’s still there albeit with much newer large additions, one of my granddaughter’s was born there as well.
RIP Robert Redford a true icon such a wonderful actor.
glad cardicat is going to be ok great news.

She is beautiful. I really hope she comes home safely.

We all try very hard to put her out of our minds 😂

So many beautiful cats in the thread. My cat tax will be late.

So sorry @takingcareofme2023 to hear about your cat.

The Turd's flight is currently passing over the west coast of Ireland 😞

Friend of Epstein

The hospital I was born in use to get its sheets laundered at what is now my housing estate!

Kemi Badenoch refusing to acknowledge that Tommy Robinson is "far-right", now on LBC, and refusing to condemn Elon Musk's words. In fact she says what Musk said 'isn't' incitement. So what would be incitement then? How violent would his words have to be before he was deemed a threat to this country?

Beggars belief that this is the Conservative Party I grew up with.
Musk calls for re immigration.
Yaxley Lennox’s mate Ant Middleton has explicitly said 1/2/3 generation immigrants should be excluded from government positions FFS.
He’s not going to fund the Conservative Party. Stop begging.

I see that what is the current iteration of UKIP is having a series of "remigration" demos. I checked that I had seen the date of the one in Newcastle correctly and, not for the first time, Google AI made shit up. (apart from the obvious, it's Grey's Monument)
