What happened on 28th March, 2023

 There were quite important issues on Tuesday. Yet, the most positive one was that the Mayor of London has announced a £3.5m one-off free meals scheme during school holidays and weekends for children from low-income families. 


 That was enough to move redditors.

"Does anyone else remember when people were freaking out that Sadiq Khan was a Muslim and would destroy London? He really proved them right by building cycle lanes and offering free school meals." 

"I’m happy for my taxes to pay for this. Not free for many of us but free for kids in need is a good thing, just a shame it is needed."

"If you ignore everything else about the pros or cons of free meals and just focus on this question:

What is the cheapest way to increase the efficiency of existing education spending across the UK? (i.e., tax money already committed)

Then free nutritious meals is probably the number one thing across the entire UK that would yield the best return on investment. It's not a right wing Vs left wing issue. It's a fundamental question of how efficiently you want your taxes to be spent. - to which the only answer is "as efficiently as possible".If you're against free school meals for ideological reasons, you're a twat."

BBC, however, never called London Mayor by his name in this piece of good news. Was it by chance, or on purpose? Oh, the next commentator wrote exactly what I thought, "I’ve just noticed how news sites tend to put his full name when it’s something negative even things he’s not directly linked to but for positive stories like this they use only his title in the headline."

Meanwhile, somewhere in the corridors of power

 
 
Twitter users have been extremely indignant in comments to this Twit.

 

No more comments needed.
 
Another outburst of discontent was about Rishi Sunak congratulates Humza Yousaf on becoming the new First Minister of Scotland.
 
"13 years of Tory and the country is on the floor, but don’t worry the caviar and champagne is flowing in the swimming pools of the rich. Tories can’t fix the country because you have to want to put in, not take out. Sod off and leave it to Parties who care." 
 
"The man is a racist towards ethnic white British."

Monday started with a scandalous news by BBC that ' More than 100 Metropolitan Police officers being investigated for sexual misconduct are currently working without restrictions .' Those heroes of January revelation that 'the Met has announced that a total of 1,633 cases of alleged sexual offenses or domestic violence involving 1,071 officers and other staff are also being assessed from the last ten years to ensure suitable judgements were made' have come back into focus.  That undeniably is sad and vicious. And it leads to the following Tuesday news about the 363-page final report into the Metropolitan Police after a month-long review. But made after Jeremy Hunt's budget speech analysis by independent think-tank Resolution Foundation that ' Britons are £11,000 worse off per year due to 15 years of stalling wages which have failed to keep pace with rising prices, a leading think tank has warned ' has become most painful statement of Monday.   "£11,0...

On Thursday, the UK public continued discussing a figure of former Prime Minister Johnson. This time, it concerned the inquiry into whether he deliberately misled parliament over partygate . This theme gained media attention from domestic and international media. Yet, many of them considered that it could be an end of Johnson's political career.   This day all of us also were able to estimate tax returns of Rishi Sunak and Keir Starmer ... And to admire the fact that our Prime Ministermade £1.9m last year alone. The majority, however, had come to conclusion that "it shows nothing of value, because tax returns generally don’t, and were never going to. This whole tax return bollocks is shite anyway, it’s a yank problem imported across here to apply meaningless pressure to British politicians. People who thought this would help anything have no idea what a tax return actually is." Almost everyone had quickly realized that the UK current Prime Minister is out of touch w...

On Sunday , British Government suddenly remembered about vile grooming gangs molester young girls in several UK regions and decided to take measures against them, years later the first complaints came; Passport Office workers began five-week strike from Monday in row over jobs, pay and pensions; Britons got infuriated by the question by the Tory MP, why not take a holiday break in the UK to avoid the delays into France? And do not forget Suella Braverman with her 'milking loophole.' On Monday , Rishi Sunak told what he announced to tell a day ago, we learned about criminal proceeding initiated because of an elderly lady's death of hypothermia last December, and Royal Mail apologized for 'nasty' April Fool's Day prank telling striking staff everyone was getting an 11% pay rise. On Tuesday ,  we learned that British hostages abroad aren't problem of British ministers, the earlier people die - the better unexpected windfall for the UK pensions, and discussed t...
