      Any mention of Dad investing in the product?

      “At 28, Vivien Wong walked away from an £80,000-a-year accounting job to start making ice cream with her brother.”
      https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cz97148eye0o

      Co-founders Vivien and Howard Wong used their own personal savings—initially investing around £50,000 into machinery—and relied on space, testing grounds, and support from their parents’ North London Asian bakery to launch Little Moons in 2010

      In November 2022, former Conservative cabinet minister Sajid Javid posted a viral two-word reply—”So what?”—to a video shared by Nigel Farage. Farage had claimed that 2021 census data showing London, Manchester, and Birmingham as minority white cities was a demographic scandal caused by immigration. Javid’s blunt dismissal was widely praised as an effective takedown.

      SO WHAT!

        Being mindful that one of the plaintiffs is apparently royalty – the comments of the judge handing down the invoice for the daily mail case was pretty brutal .

    “Pamphlet required to explain the strange ways of the UK, like not raping people.”

    Who Could Have Seen This Coming?
    Daniel Boland

    ……………….

    2026 – you must take your fair share of illegal undocumented unvetted people who need to be told not to rape you or your children or pensioners outside Churches.

    2026 – you cannot question an academic Professor in Cambridge in case you find out they lied about their struggle through life.
