    UK:

    • Snowing in some parts of the country. First time this year. Historically we lose our shit when it snows. (England and Wales at least, Scotland are pretty good at dealing with it)
    • Farmers upset at a recent budget where they get taxed on death duties above £1m if they didn’t transfer property to their kids early enough. (The French farmers are also protesting, but for different reasons)
    • Quite a few small businesses going bankrupt because of the same budget. (Especially motorbike retailers who’ve suffered some other problems)
    • Ukraine fired a UK-supplied missile into Russia. We’re kinda worried about repercussions, but why did we give it to the them if it wasn’t meant to be used?
    • Sex allegations about Al Fayed, the now deceased boss of Harrods. “As bad as Savile”

    Pretty much a normal Wednesday.
