So we are now allowed to mention in public, at least in Kent, things like: "free Gaza", "Israel", "genocide", and "Palestine" and maybe "free Palestine", but not "Palestine" and "action" in any order, unless (perhaps) separated by another word.

Are we allowed to say that the UK police are thick?

If I get any more emails from scammers purporting to be Temu (which is anyway itself a scam) addressing me as Deepshita or Dipshit or any other oblique references to the execrable quality of their Chinese consumables, I might write something offensive on Trustpilot about their data security.

The extent of her suffering can be gauged by her having chosen Nile (the Vile) Gardiner as a companion in her dotage. She must have been in agony. If so, good!

I will certainly be joining them in celebrating Thatcher's death. The awful woman was a loathsome, evil harridan, whose suffering with dementia and incontinence for years before her death was the very least that she deserved. May she continue to rot in hell.

The House speaker claims this has nothing to do with Jeffrey Epstein. Then why delay the swearing in of Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva, who handily won a special election in Arizona *two weeks* ago?

He can easily prove it. trib.al/pEfcNkA

Let's see if I have this right. *Biden*, who wasn't yet president and had no power whatsoever over the FBI, planted 274 (very exact) special agents to induce peace-loving "good people" to violently attack the Capitol so as to stop *Biden* being formally adopted as president.

You're barking, Donald!

I understand that American psychoanalysts and therapists are noticing Trump-related anxiety since the stsrt of his second incumbency. The same was observed amongst Germans, even in the early stages of the Third Reich, in which suppressed or unexpressed fears were also played out in their dreams.

The ludicrous performance put on by the British military to make a fat dotard from the US feel important, is beyond embarrassing. This man is a criminal, irredeemably stupid, sex-abusing, fraudster whose actions seriously threaten the future of civilisation, and his wife is a former soft porn model.

Trump doesn't do thinking, but if he did it would probably still be the dumbest fucking thinking in the world.
