I can't even wrap my head around the consequences of an outcome like that. That's the kind of ridiculous result that only happens when you're abusing a game mechanic in Vicky or something. It's also making me want to vote Lab because useless spunk-filled johnnies though they may be, the lure of the bants is strong.

When you have kids, literally everything terrifies you on some level that it will in some way kill your kids.
That sliced chicken that is one day past it's best before date? I'll be fine to eat that.
But give it to your kid? Hell no, they could get sick.

This also applies to cars. When you have kids, you want a safe car. That means you are reluctant to get a car that's too cheap, for fear it's a death trap. Then you have to look at a larger car that can hold you kids. And you want a car that is safer for the kids to be in.

It's one of the reasons there are so many SUV's out there.

Jessica also owns two buy-to-let properties. One is in Southampton and the other is in Durham. Jessica would like to see significant changes to how landlords are taxed.

She said: “There is literally no money in renting out property now. Most landlords are covering all the costs involved, including any mortgage and the cost of all repairs.

“Many are operating at a loss. The system for taxable income on buy-to-let homes needs to change. Many landlords are keeping people in homes and keeping the rental market going, often in very difficult circumstances. They need more support. Landlords should be incentivised to stay in the market. Incentives for landlords would also help alleviate the shortfall in rental properties in popular areas.”

Around half of all British people would choose to leave the UK and move themselves and their families to another country, if given the opportunity to do so, according to an exclusive new poll for Byline Times.

As recent polls suggest that most Brits are now unhappy with the direction the UK is headed in, pollsters Omnisis asked voters whether they would now prefer to live abroad.

45% of all respondents said they would take up the opportunity to leave, compared to just 35% who said they wouldn’t.

Once ‘don’t knows’ were excluded, 56% of all respondents said they would emigrate away from Britain if given the chance.

The poll found differing levels of attachment to the UK among voters for each political party.

Liberal Democrats were the most likely to say they would choose to remain in the UK, with just 34% saying they would quit the country. Voters for the Scottish National Party, which endorses Scotland leaving the Union, were the most likely to say they would leave.

The banjo is an African-American instrument which was co-opted by whites, but has always had exceptional black players up to current day standouts like Rhiannon Giddens. But I guess we're talking about the same thing

Yaxley has the same mass-amount of racism as an average British man, but it's just condensed in a much smaller body so that it reaches criticality
