You can send it there and forget to put a stamp on it.

Bonus points for putting "Donations department" on it. Otherwise I guess they'd simply refuse to pay the fines for any other letters they receive without correct postage.
(Royal Mail can't force them to pay the fine, they just don't get the letter. I guess they're inundated with people doing the same thing so they simply never bother buying any of them off the post office.)

Fucking hell. The state of this. And the support he is getting is utterly depressing too. (Excuse Times link)

Krishnan Guru-Murthy's just gone all out with James Cleverly, listing every immoral thing that Tories have done in the last 14 years and ordering him not to make a speech. Total bridge-burning. Perhaps he calculates that there'll never be another reason to invite Cleverly on to C4 News? https://x.com/Channel4News/status/1806039906365702649

I've never understood why as people come of age why they are not automatically added to the Electoral Register.
Then in 2010 I encountered gerrymandering Tories.

It has a use-by date. Other countries might not accept it, or be willing to pay for it to be delivered there. If it's been sat outside for months it may not be usable any more. But, yes, I hope there is a valid reason why it can't go somewhere else.
Traditionally (before Covid) there were huge warehouses that would store a good stock of PPE. Enough for
xmonths of usage. If something had a shelf life of 2 years then ideally you'd have ~18 months of stuff in storage so that as the new stuff came in the oldest stuff was being shipped out to be used in hospitals. Still in date and perfectly usable. Supply Chain 101.This warehousing costs a considerable amount of money, and so the bean counters of the Tory Government decided to slash that cost by cutting down on the storage costs for these reserves.
And, being classic Tories, they didn't want to upset the producers of the PPE by reducing their purchases, so they just destroyed some of the stock to free up warehouses and bring down the costs that way.
Then the pandemic hit, and they need to swing massively the other way. Yes, buying too much just in case was the right idea (although often a poor implementation), but they would have been in a much better situation had they kept paying to keep an ~18 month stockpile.
The Government even did some planning on this: Exercise Cygnus. And the result was a bunch of recommendations which were then ignored in the main.
They [the Tories] did exactly the same with fuel storage in the UK prior to the invasion of Ukraine. They looked at how much they were spending on just maintaining a reserve that was rarely used, and opted for the short term gain of selling it off.
At the end of the day it was just incompetence. Anyone with a brain would look at the longer term view and would have worked out why these stockpiles existed and why we needed to just suck up paying a chunk of money each month to maintain them. Because 1 in 100 year events happen every so often.
