I swear I had made a reply to LW, maybe the recent forum glitchyness ate it. Anyways....

Freeze peach? Was that an intentional typo? lol XD

No

It is a joke made to mock people who like free speech

Oh I see. It just looked a lot like something that iphone or ipad spellcheck would spit out.

Theresa May thanked the public sector workers for their sacrifice in having a 1% pay cap.

There's something funny about that. Last I checked you can't really sacrifice yourself if someone else is sacrificing you against your will.

"Thank you for giving me your money!" "You're mugging me!" "No, you're GIVING the money to me."

To be fair, the choice she gave the public sector was a 1% pay cap or ripping their heart out with an obsidian knife from the top of a pyramid.

Zapp Brannigan politics. To boldly sacrifice everyone else to attain victory

It reminds me of those Corps who give away part of their worker's paycheck to charity and then collect income tax on it.

The cutest thing about this is they think black pudding is burnt toast. What a complete abomination

[martinuzz]

Wow, that looks untasty.

[Loud Whispers]

Took a while to figure out those things were supposed to be sausages

EWWW Molasses beans!

[hector13]

One of them looks like a turd.

The tea also looks awful.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

I can't even identify most of that.

[Neonivek]

I can't even identify most of that.

Fried Egg, Bacon, Tomatoes, cooked mushrooms, Molasses beans, and Molasses beans on toast.

All served with Tea with the tea bag still in the cup.

Is it bad that I don't even know if I am right about the Bacon?

[NJW2000]

The mushrooms look OK, though two teabags is unusual.

[hector13]

Is there two? I think there's a slice of lemon...

I've yet to see any prevalence number for things like voter fraud, frivolous lawsuits, welfare fraud, drug abusing welfare users (that one even assumes that using drugs is a good reason to kick someone off welfare, which it isn't, for a myriad of reasons) and other "parasites of the system" above 5%, and usually I see the reports as at or below 1%.

It makes really good campaign stump, "we're going to kick/we kicked the parasites of YOUR tax-dollars out!" but it just doesn't happen to any economically noticable degree. Any time a serious effort to stamp out that kinda thing happens, it gets really close to or actually IS more expensive than what you save by getting rid of them, because you have to *find* them first. Expensive, both in money and in time.

The only error the Tories have made in investigating benefits fraud is to not immensely expand investigation into tax fraud simultaneously
