Now Tesco locks up bacon and sausages: Meat is padlocked in fridges ‘to protect stock’ as hard-up Brits struggle through cost of living crisis

The sign, shared on Twitter by local site @SE1, had been stuck on the chilled meat section of a Tesco Express on Tower Bridge Road in Southwark, central London.

It read: ‘To protect stock and availability this door is locked. Please ask a member of staff for assistance.’

Minnesota Poised To Ban Christians, Muslims, And Jews From Teaching In Public Schools

Minnesota will soon ban faithful Christians, Muslims, and Jews from teaching in public schools by requiring that every state-certified teacher “fosters an environment that ensures student identities such as … gender identity … are … affirmed.” Once the new requirements clear a final procedural hurdle, they will be immediately challenged in state and possibly federal court, a civil liberties lawyer told The Federalist on Tuesday.

Residents of Ana Walshe-managed DC building fear phony agents coverup

WASHINGTON — Residents of a Washington, DC, apartment building managed by missing executive Ana Walshe tell The Post that they believe her company, Tishman Speyer, has been hiding information about phony federal agents who were busted after infiltrating the Secret Service last year — and recently admitted to “voyeurism” in the building as well.

The tenants association of the Crossing building in the Navy Yard neighborhood near the Capitol says they fear that Arian Taherzadeh and Haider Ali, who pleaded guilty in August to crimes including secretly filming women in at least one of the building’s units, will avoid a public airing of their actions and that the company is withholding details from them.

Is There a Legal Remedy for George Santos’ Lies?

Congressman George Santos has lived a life of lies. He has lied about his early life, his academic record, his business experience, his wealth, his heritage, his personal life and his criminal record. He is fortunate that the vast majority of these lies have not been under oath. Nor have they defamed specific individuals. Unless he has lied on government forms, it is unlikely that he can be successfully prosecuted or civilly sued. His victims are primarily the voters who cast ballots for a person who was very different from who they believed him to be.

OMG it’s not a parody

I was happily cruising Twitter looking for something to be outraged about, and of course it was super easy to find.

Today’s episode of ridiculousness is provided by an old standby: President Joe Biden. He always good for a laugh, at least if you are into octogenarians drooling, tripping, and wandering off into the wilderness, but his administration keeps fouling things up and embarrassing the country.

Ottawa laying groundwork for Indigenous justice systems, says Lametti

Justice Minister David Lametti says Ottawa is building a foundation to allow Indigenous legal systems to flourish alongside the Canadian justice system.

Lametti made the comment Thursday at the new Indigenous Peoples Space on Parliament Hill, where he announced $1.5 million in federal funding over three years to help Métis Nation governments develop an Indigenous justice strategy.

“When justice is part of a spiritual tradition, when justice is part of a community tradition or a nation’s tradition, it will work better,” Lametti said at the first press conference ever held in the Indigenous Peoples Space.

I can’t wait to see how this turns out.

Shocka! Canadians get screwed on Cellphone costs

Why are Canadians’ cellphone bills higher than other countries?

Despite government promises to lower the cost of mobile wireless plans and efforts to promote more competition in the market, many Canadians feel they’re paying too much with few options for getting better rates.

But the industry will tell a different story: that of a market with fierce or at least adequate competition, and companies providing Canadians with rates comparable to the rest of the world despite extraordinary challenges.

A Marketplace investigation into the cost of telecom services in Canada has found that many of the oft-quoted industry explanations for high wireless prices — costly operating margins and a sparse Canadian population, for example — are insufficient to explain lower prices found in other countries and even between some provinces.

This is an evergreen Canadian story.

Are they tone deaf or just arrogant?
