Does Johnson live in a sensory deprivation chamber?
RAJU: If defenseless survivors were killed, would that constitute a violation of the laws of war?

The Home Office has started taking action on cases of Syrian refugees with pending settlement applications. People are being sent letters saying they have 21 days to provide evidence as to why they should not be returned to Syria. Panic is spreading.

Found my way to Upscrolled. Let me if you're there too
Another great thing about Upscrolled is the character limit of posts! I don't even know what the limit is because I haven't even come close and I reposted a whole page of an article!
I'm going to start reposting everything from here, over there.
I really, really hope it takes off!!!

The problem with that Whamageddon thing is that Last Christmas is a stone cold banger and trying to avoid it proves that you don't truly understand the meaning of the season, to celebrate our Lord and Savior, Saint George Michael.

I’m not doing Black Friday this year.
I’d rather be honest with you than try to compete with big brands.
Every purchase genuinely makes a difference to my tiny business.

Reminds me of the late, great Jilly Cooper, who taught her daughter that 'pardon' is a much worse word than 'fuck'. "We don't live in fucking Pardonia, darling."
