You are probably right, but if the job cannot be done, then no-one should be employed to do the job. The state is allegedly short of money. Then stop paying people who, whatever reason, do not perform. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rollover Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 Don’t let people off if they steal food in desperation Kit Malthouse says police watchdog’s suggestion that cost of living will trigger more crime is ‘old-fashioned’. As inflation hit a 40-year-high of 9%, Cooke told the Guardian that officers should use their “discretion” when deciding whether to prosecute people who steal in order to eat. Appearing on ITV’s Good Morning Britain, Malthouse, a longtime ally of Boris Johnson, said Cooke’s thinking was “old-fashioned”, adding: “Because people are challenged financially … that doesn’t necessarily mean they’re going to turn to crime.” Guardian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shlomo Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 https://www.aljazeera.com/economy/2022/5/16/indonesian-farmers-decry-palm-oil-export-ban-as-prices-plummet Medan, Indonesia – Indonesia, the world’s largest producer of palm oil, has struggled with rising prices and low stocks of cooking oil amid a surge in global prices of the raw ingredient. Citing the need to control the price spikes, which have been exacerbated by the Ukraine war, disappointing harvests and the COVID-19 pandemic, Indonesian President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo announced in April a ban on exports of palm oil and palm oil products. But far from calming the domestic market, Indonesian farmers who spoke to Al Jazeera say the ban has caused prices of palm fruit to plummet and thrown their livelihoods into jeopardy. Below are the responses of six farmers who spoke about their experiences with the ban. Their remarks have been lightly edited for brevity and clarity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jolly Roger Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 My other half's parents share a teabag, the second cup is noticeably weaker no matter how long you leave it, won't be pegging up my teabags to dry anytime soon. Crisps are definitely shooting up, not sure why anyone would pay £1.70 for a six pack of Walkers now, can still get six Frazzles for a quid.
