The RSPCA have, at last, caught on to the fact that social media is provoking or encouraging kids to engage in animal cruelty. It’s a complicated issue but essentially the RSPCA is saying that children “torture animals for likes on social media”. Tell me something new. This has been an issue for years. Millions …
Facebook Marketplace is promoted by Facebook as a place to sell anything you’ve got. You can find what you want and the prices look very good, suspiciously good sometimes.

This is about another UK scam/fraud/con in the UK. My God, there are so many of them I’ve almost lost track. The citizens of the UK are surrounded by fraudsters and thieves. And, sadly, the police seem to be impotent, so we are alone. This one concerns what The Times refers to as “fly-by-night …

Mary Dandruff – clearly a made-up name – has a Facebook page full of videos of domestic cats covered in objects such as beans or other fruits perhaps (I don’t know what they are). She claims that these cats are covered in ticks (a nasty blood-sucking skin parasite) and that the ticks need to …
