There’s no point #Labour #winning unless it promises to dismantle our toxic #electoral #system - #Neal #Lawson

"#FPTP is the #toxic glue that holds together a centralised winner-takes-all system, privileging the interests of the already powerful and a few #swing #voters in a few swing #seats, tilting our #politics to the #right whoever wins. #PR would weaken the grip of #regressives on our country simply by making #every #vote #count, helping #progressives win office and real #power"

I thought I'd try eating at #Lawson today. The bangus a la pobre is no longer available so I settled for fried chicken. Oh wow. 😳 89 pesos for 1 spicy fried chicken wing with 2 servings of rice! 👍 (I only needed 1 but it came with 2.) Then 42 pesos for a 500ml bottle of Coke. Of course, I grabbed a Banana & Choco Slice 🍞👌 -- my main reason for visiting a Lawson store. 😋

Notice the tables and chairs. This one's located at an office building. Plenty customers.
