When I was a kid in northern England, 'trump' was a sniggersome way to describe an emission of gases from the nether regions.
I'm reassured that the "president" of the "United" States knows this and has spent his life living up to it.

I'm compiling a list of descriptives of Farridge for possible doorstep conversations: starting with 'fraud' and going upwards from there.

May ask yourself,
who was it that last time told you

I suspect I may not be alone in taking the attitude that if the White House says it, it must be... incorrect, ridiculous and laughable. Especially that last bit.
#BBC: ‘The acquisition of #Greenland by the US is not a new idea," White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said on Wednesday, arguing that US presidents have sought it since the 1800s.
“The President’s first option, always, has been diplomacy,” she added.’

Surprised? Not in the slightest.
God honestly. Doesn’t this just sum up Reform. And their plastic patriotism.
Can’t even give a straight answer or follow the rules on their unbelievably naff merch.
So on brand.
Oh well. You sell or wear one of these, you’ve told us all we need to know about you.

Please watch & share this footage of 2 lovely guys (faces clearly captured on CCTV) who just stole my bag from under my chair, bending it like Beckham in what is evidently their signature robbing move. Maybe it will be shared widely enough they don’t get to do it to anyone else. Stay safe out there.

I think we can all name the prime present-day example of a Gombeen...
Gombeen [gom-BEEN]
(n.)
- A shady moneylender operating in times of great financial turmoil.
- A mean, underhanded, corrupt person; usually applied to politicians.
Use:
“If that gombeen comes around here again, you tell him that I’m going to disfeature his heretofore snoutfair countenance!”

Finland uses “Russia-gauge” rails. They are going to move to European compatible rail gauge for their own resilience.
This is what we should be thinking about for moving to open social away from American platforms: it should come with significant spending commitments & is absolutely necessary.

Your own words, Ms Pochin, easily adapted to the opposite point of view:
"It drives me mad seeing programmes full of privileged white people. It is something that has happened because, I believe, of the sheltered Reformism that goes on inside."
Just another reason to not vote for the racists.
