Pork pies, gala pies, veal n ham pies and all their variants are god-level food. But I draw the line at eating pork pies hot like they do in Lancashire

We know that words mean what the editor wants them to mean in the right-wing media. Hence this use of "exclusive"

#ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles

Two different newspapers, both with the same lead story about Andrew Windsor and convicted sex trafficker Epstein, both tagged as an exclusive.

It's alright. No need to worry. The £47 billion will still exist - but it will be boosting the credit balance of the Cayman Islands economy. So, #BothSides

"rules designed to stop abuse of contacts made in public office."

No. Rules designed to appear that there was regulation, when there wasn't.

If they were REALLY concerned about abuse of contacts, the matter would be decided by a criminal court with a mandatory lengthy jail term.

The best thing about these compartment trains is that you don't get accosted by some leering creep leaning over the back of the seat.

That'll give the National Guard and ICE nightmares. Or maybe wet dreams....

Yep. A burger is chopped food formed into a patty - it can be a beef burger, a pork burger, a lamb burger, a veggie burger...

Same daft rules about 'milk' only coming from a female mammal. (or a coconut?)

To be fair, a cyclist running a red light is rather more likely to be killed by a lorry or SUV doing 30mph in a 20 zone than they are to kill a pedestrian crossing the road (who the cyclist has probably noticed)

Don't they already do this? I know our village shop gets regular supplies from Ceredigion for us to distribute.

So long as Israel exists it will attack its neighbours.

Whut? Shouldn't all university staff be busy teaching the MBA in Hedge Fund Management?

I discovered that there is actually a type of furnishing called the "10 minute chair". Design to look and feel comfortable for 10 mins or so, then gets progressively less desirable, so you move on. We had them in the coffee/rest area in a previous office!

Yet still Starmer believes FPTP is fine, and that PR is the work of the Devil.

What's the point of taking up a room in the surgery when most patients just get telephone appointments these days?

But how much of the equipment still in storage actually still works, or is close to working? How many of the units have been cannibalised for spare parts? How many have just rotted? We've seen photos of hundreds of rusting tanks without their turrets. Do those still count as part of the reserve?

Photo from Euromaiden press 26/7/2025 showing over a hundred Russian tanks in storage. They are rusting and have no turrets.

Completely wrong. The Zionist state has been attacking, invading and murdering its neighbours without a break since 1948. They will never change.

The only solution is a one-state solution, where all who are willing to live together in peace may do so. Those who aren't should move to the Falklands

Don't worry about it. Just pretend you were there and make up any old shit about what they're saying/doing. Start with the invite to their breakfast buffet where they talked about policy on newts (against them) and ate live kittens.

I haven't watched TV for about 7 years since I stopped buying a TV licence as I object to funding right-wing propaganda by the BBC. Not missed it. Also avoid palm oil when I can, even the "sustainable" ones. Don't buy Israeli, ever, or USian if I have a choice. Think globally act locally.

Skilled person. More "impact" than wasting a drone on a north Korean conscript in the meat grinder.
