In 19th century Europe, a church side door led right into the town bar. You could atone for your sins by going either direction.

In California, at the turn of the 19th and 20th Century, some men would say:

The Post Office was on the ground floor of a large building.

The second floor was a whorehouse.

No ifs; no buts: UK PM Keir #Starmer is a genocide-enabling #Quisling and a war criminal!

“Meanwhile, on the same day that people were arrested for holding a placard or chanting against mass slaughter, the UK welcomed Israeli air force head Major General Tomer #Bar, the man considered one of the main architects of Israel’s #Gaza genocide, which has murdered around 400,000 people so far and maimed countless others”
