On Saturday, the Sky News threatened Britons with a collapse of social care system without unpaid carers who contribute the equivalent of more than four million jobs in the sector. Health think tank The King's Fund made the claim as it called for more support for the nation's army of uncompensated workers - who include 1.5 million people in England alone who provide 50 or more hours of care a week to loved ones. The readers also admitted that "as far as I'm aware the social work system is slowly collapsing even with the unpaid carers." "The simple problem is carers are not paid enough even though the companies that employ carers charge the world. I have first hand experience of this my mum has worked in care for years and for the work she was doing and an absolute pittance run ragged and always going above and beyond because she won't see people suffer alone. Different care company same location were asked how much it would be to have carers come...

Also this Wednesday, it came to known that Suella Braverman won’t face investigation over speeding row . T he Home Secretary will not face an investigation over whether she broke the ministerial code by involving civil servants in a bid to avoid a public speed awareness course, Downing Street confirmed on Wednesday. In a letter to Suella Braverman , Rishi Sunak said he had conferred with his independent adviser on ministerial interests and determined no formal probe was necessary.   "Just wait til more information is leaked showing she did breach the code and he would have known or should have known before making this decision. What a weak, feeble little man he really is." "I’m glad he didn’t get rid of her. She’s a liability and I for one am enjoying the shit show. We needn’t do anythin...

On Friday, an owner of Sainsbury's, the second largest chain of supermarkets in the United Kingdom, tried to convince Britons that they are not profiting from high prices .  When asked if the UK's second largest supermarket had been profiteering, Simon Roberts said: "Absolutely not." Critics have accused food retailers of "greedflation" - putting prices up to bolster profits. But Mr Roberts told the BBC that Sainsbury's and other grocery chains had spent money to "battle inflation" and avoid passing all of the rising costs onto consumers. Some Redditors believed him and the data offered by the BBC: "The figures are out there for anyone to read. The supermarkets have not been profiteering from inflation. The very fact that there has been shortages on the shelves tells you that they refuse to put prices up on some goods." "Nearly all the profit increase that Sains has been seeing recently is due to the closure of argos stores ...

This Thursday was 25 May which bookworms celebrate as a tribute to two brilliant writers, Douglas Adams and Terry Pratchett. On that day was a citizens' rise up the People's Revolution of the Glorious 25th May in the sir Terry Pratchett's Discworld universe. It also was established as a commemoration day of the The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy author Douglas Adams. So we had possibility watching geek wearing lilac and towels. The infamous scandal with a TikTok troublemaker continued gaining momentum and got an acute social message on Thursday. A teenager nicknamed Mizzy bragged 'UK laws are weak, simple as' when discussing how he was able to get off so lightly with the bizarre stunts as he was grilled by  Piers Morgan  in a TV interview.  The 18-year-old appeared  at Thames Magistrates' Court on Wednesday and admitted failing to comply with a community protection notice. He was fined £200 and will have to pay an £80 surcharge with £85 in prosecuti...

Tuesday clearly was not a day of good news. The mass media hurried to upset us with news that UK food price inflation at third-highest level since 2008 . That is why Jeremy Hunt to meet food manufacturers over prices as Kantar says rate is still ‘incredibly high’. At the same time the BBC issued an article explaining why food bills aren't shrinking - five things to know . It runs that food prices are 19% higher than a year ago. A grocery shop that used to cost £50 is now nearer £60. And it blames in this situation the war in Ukraine with Brexit adding to the red tape of importing food .  Yet, the readers have another opinion. " Because conservative governments put corporate profit before people. Simple as that." "I can answer that ; because it will make supermakets and suppliers record profit and they want a piece of the profit cake too." Others get to the root: "its the farmers fuel and heating, the fuel and heating at the storage/abbatoir, the electric a...

On this Monday, junior doctors in England have announced a new 72-hour walkout in June after the latest round of government pay talks broke down. The strike will take place between 07:00 on Wednesday 14 June and 07:00 on Saturday 17 June.  Readers consider the govt offer of a 5% rise non-serious and intended to destroy the NHS. "They offered 5%. Basically the AFC but without the one off bonus payment. They are not serious at all about negotiating with doctors. Expect months of strikes and a new ballot with a similar mandate." "The government is not serious because they want the NHS to fail. They want to bring in a US style healthcare system so the corporate insurance companies can make money. Privatization is the name of the game with conservatives, they just aren’t at the place where they are comfortable saying it aloud. The next election is probably the last chance to save the NHS." At the same time, patients complain of lack of medical treatment: ...

Irish police apparently had joyful Sunday when they seized approximately 142kgs of herbal cannabis with an estimated value of €2.84m (£2.46m) at Dublin Port . This gave rise to a lot of jokes: " €1,420,000 you say? - That's right €720,000 was captured!"  " Someone has been watching Mr Nice." " Stoners will need a hobby" " I always thought the Irish were into whisky... maybe European culture has had an influence..." and demands to make medical cannabis legal. Ten-year-old also had a good time when spent £2,500 of mum's money without her knowing . The Redditors shared their opinion about that. " These articles are always just the parents being a bit shit."  "I don't think it would be unreasonable to ban this kind of marketing in a kids game." "Don't ever save your credit card details to your child's gaming profile."  Also on Sunday, Rishi Sunak may have lost patience with Suella Braverman’s misjudg...
