What happened on 25th May 2023 - with your comments in the Web: How do they rise up

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 prosecution costs.

O'Garro then later claimed: 'Hate brings money. Hate brings likes, brings views - it doesn't matter.'

The Daily Mail readers agreed with him according their most popular comments. Yet, the majority considers the TikToker a menace to the society:

"British law system is a joke it needs new judges with backbones"

"Social media is to blame as well maybe the law should be adapted for this modern digital age? force Social media companies to ban them if they don't do it themselves. No social media = No posting for the attention he craves = he becomes irrelevant."

"And now he's on TV getting all the attention he wants! And giving other people ideas, if they've never seen him before."

"I can do what I want. Says it all from a society that knows all its rights but not of its responsibilities."

"Two years in a TOUGH prison with NO tv, NO internet, NO emails." - "Not in this country he won't. You're better off in prison than being a poor pensioner these days."

"This morning, the judge who gave him his incredibly light sentence, must feel a right mug, if not, she should do."

 Meanwhile, the BBC shared Rishi Sunak's opinion that promoting vapes to kids is ridiculous.

Earlier this week, a BBC investigation found vapes confiscated from school pupils contained high levels of lead, which could affect brain development.

It is illegal to sell vapes to under-18s.

NHS figures released last year found that while there was a fall in the number of school children taking drugs and smoking cigarettes, vape usage had risen to 9% among 11 to 15-year-olds in England - up from 6% in 2018.

In the same period, vaping among 15-year-old girls jumped from 10% to 21%.

And that was a rare statement by the Prime minister which Britons agreed with.

"Seems like a fairly obvious statement, but yes."

"Agreed, there seems to be an endemic of dodgy shops selling dodgy vapes to kids.

Let's not forget though, that adults also like cakes and sweets. Suggesting that vape liquids are marketed towards kids because they are flavoured is also ridiculous."

" I know it’s really pedantic but it annoys me how so many people argue these vapes are “marketed to kids” when they’re blatantly not. Maybe if they came in Spokgebob and Disney patterns, but that’s not the case. The real issue is nobody asks for ID these days."

"Local councils not fining or closing down the shops that are selling vapes to kids is the ridiculous thing."

But they also agreed that this is "a trick to make him seem like a reasonable and straight talking politician. Then he goes straight back to spewing bile about small boats and lefty lawyers. Don't trust the spin!"

And once again energy bills became the most hardened topic of Thursday. Energy bills set to stay high despite price cap cut.

 

 

 Yet, it was not unexpected.

"What a surprise! It just wouldn't be logical for the CEO's and shareholders to help their customers in this day and age. Just another way of letting the rich fill their bank accounts, while the working and middle class keep having to empty theirs to live a frugal lifestyle."

"Prices could go up again? Meanwhile the tory government are doing their best to shut down clean energy/block more of it from being produced. Great."

"Shocked. Shocked I tells ya. Who’d have thought the energy companies making record profits wouldn’t want to give those up even after they’d made tons of money.

It’s almost like the government should have oversight and regulate this kind of thing…"

"What's funny is how the energy companies purchasing agreements at old rates just ask happened to run out around the same time.

Is it actually bullshit? Probably"

At the same time, the Independent is sure that Brexit has cost every UK household £250 in food bills, experts claim — Inflation for what Britons consume would have been nearly a third lower had the UK stayed in the EU.

 Some readers consider that Russia has to share the responsibility.

"It pisses me off no end that my right to live and work in the EU has been taken away, and my countries economy is worse, based on a referendum built on lies and Russian interference."

Others alleged that their relatives or themselves were deceived by Brexit posters:

"My aunt literally thought that 78 million turks were going to come here and said she had to vote brexit to protect her grandkids. We stopped talking to her that day, not had any contact since."

"I was one of these people I’m sorry, I’ve since learned a lot about politics and how they all lie for their own agenda. I genuinely believed what was written on a bus. I wonder how many were like me and just misinformed? I never had anything to do with politics and was very young I voted because everybody told me I had to etc

Anyway yeah if I could take my vote back I would. On the bright side it did actually get me to start caring about this country and voting and stuff and I can proudly say I haven’t voted for the tories and doubt i ever will."

"Don't forget the majority who voted brexit also voted based on lies. Even the leave voters are pissed." 

And as a final for a beautiful day: A silver Kia smashed into the gates of Downing Street at around 4.20pm.

Police said no-one had been hurt and the incident was not being treated as terror-related. Local officers in Westminster were investigating.

The prime minister was in Downing Street at the time of the crash. But Rishi Sunak, who had been due to leave No 10 anyway, departed after the incident.

Chancellor Jeremy Hunt was also in Downing Street at the times.

 

Thank you to Redditors for a good laugh at comments though.

"Don’t worry folks, it’s just Suella turning up for a cabinet meeting."

"Where's the civil servants to help her deal with it when she needs them?!?!"

"I once saw a car fully on top of another car in a Tesco car park. And there was no one nearby. Looked like they just got out and went "That'll do, let's go shopping"."

"If that had happened in the US, say to the White House gates, I'm sure that car would've ended up riddled with bullets within seconds.

Instead I'll await the news that our armed police calmly told the driver, "You can't park there, mate.""
