She adds: "Landlords are taking advantage of the situation to raise rentals, and then there's also Airbnb."

  https://thecritic.co.uk/the-dark-reality-of-blasphemy-laws/ Consider what it says about a god if this can be framed as justice. What kind of deity would look across a world seething with violence and corruption and decide that what is downright intolerable is a man being rude online? In the UK, of course, de facto blasphemy laws have been established. A teacher is still in hiding after showing his students a cartoon of Muhammad. Children can be suspended from school for accidentally scuffing a...

  https://thecritic.co.uk/lawlessness-is-contagious/ Alas, this isn’t limited to the roads. A similar picture is playing out in many different areas of society. Retail businesses are slammed with high rates and employment costs while the shop next door employs illegal workers and flouts trading standards at will. Tax payers are fined for submitting a few days late while others fail to register at all. Planning permission is ever more complicated while travellers set up sites and even businesses w...

  https://unherd.com/newsroom/cosmetic-surgery-is-the-new-self-harm/ The rise of this treatment — sometimes referred to as “bleph” on social media — is a sign of a wider trend. Women no longer just have the option of boob jobs, tummy tucks or lip filler, but can choose from a whole menu of interventions: brachioplasty to remove “bingo wings”, Botox to make shoulders narrower, and labiaplasty for that porn-star look. It’s clear that the pursuit of Kardashian curves and contoured cheekbones comes w...

  https://www.scottishdailyexpress.co.uk/news/politics/crown-office-urged-come-clean-37206025 The Crown Office has been urged to come clean about why it decided not to charge Nicola Sturgeon alongside her husband in relation to Operation Branchform.
