I love that Prince Andrew had a codename email address to avoid suspicion and all the emails are like 'Had to spend the weekend at Balmoral, Mother wants me to look after the corgis, my brother's here too - not Edward, but Charles, you know the heir apparent.'

Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers.
This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.
Auschwitz took time.

Still in awe of this. Labour councillors, Labour MP, Labour mayor, Labour government. They promised they'd build it both before and after the general election. They added it to their "Homes Accelerator". Building homes is their flagship policy. It is all nonsense. www.ianvisits.co.uk/articles/ano...
Another delay for east London’s Beam Park station as business case is reworked
A decision about whether East London’s long-delayed Beam Park station will be built is now not expected until later this year.

PS - The fact that the media was informed of the NEC decision before I was tells you everything you need to know about the way the Labour Party is being run these days.
You would think that over 30 years of service would count for something but sadly not. 🤷🏻♂️

This is an excellent analogy, because my recollection from grade school is that the pen on the right looks fun and exciting, and then you play with it for a few minutes and realize it's not actually useful for anything and in fact makes some tasks more cumbersome, and never think about it again.
yeah, just out of interest, how many people choose the pen on the right for real work or art? See a lot of them in professional workplaces, do you?

But it’s good to know that train staff are highly trained to deal professionally with situations like this.

Have to start spending all your money on the real powerhouses of the British economy: gambling, WarHammer, and OnlyFans.
It's effectively impossible to boycott US companies because they own so many British brands. You'd have to stop buying Cadburys, Walkers Crisps, HP sauce.... or shopping at Gails or Waterstones etc etc...

Watching Tories jumping ship to Reform to 'save' the country from the mess they created reminds me of dodgy builders and double-glazing companies that go bust leaving massive debts, then come back under a different name. The principle's exactly the same. Con-artists one and all.

4yrs ago today, we helped @catsprotection.bsky.social trap this tiny, hungry, limping feral kitty. He wasn't happy about staying in our spare room for a month after a vet visit.
But then he discovered duvets. And after we released him, i went for a nap. Woke up to discover he'd decided to move in.
