Shocking news here, as man with sedentary occupation orders half decent chairs.

Someone BTL points out that The Times ran a feature on the best chairs to buy for home working. They cost a lot more than this. In 2020.

Remember when the Times was the most respected newspaper in the world?

Labour MP buys office furniture while the Sun revealed a Green MP wore trainers in parliament. Where will this leftist decadence end?

Bloke in New York City might make the buses free, open city-owned grocery stores and freeze some rents. Don't agree with all that, but I'd vote for him over the appalling Cuemo.

So here's some complete bollocks.

The mystery is solved.

The formidable newshounds at The Times sent an email to Bill De Blasio and asked some questions. Bill De Blasio responded. So far so good.

Only trouble was that it was Bill De Blasio, wine merchant. Not Bill De Blasio, the former mayor of New York City. Bill the wine merchant says there was no indication they wanted to speak to the former Mayor. Well might he have got that impression because Americans love political titles, and a journalist would be expected to address even a former mayor by his title.

Ha ha.

Seems like Bill the wine merchant knew it was a case of mistaken identity, but played along, getting Chat GTP to compose something about the tax plans not being likely to raise the money the mayor says. He was still shocked to see it make it into a paper, because he assumed that The Times would check stuff.
