The Express is furious about this because the moment you show those who repeat anti-immigration rhetoric the real human stories their narrative collapses.
The “immigrants” are people. Our friends, colleagues and family.
And it’s this nation of neighbours that is what makes Britain great.

There are so many people living lives of quiet dignity despite horrific medical news or poverty or tragedy where every day they still wake up and try to be good people in the world even as the world pushes against them and it makes me even angrier at the absolute shitheads that rule over things

There is no human right to a parking space wherever you want to go.
However, there is a car policy that gives you this feeling because people are considered more important than children.

Dodged a virtual bullet. Tried installing very old drivers onto this W10 PC. Buggered up the Registry. Took an hour but Windows fixed itself. Back in the game, after a very nervous spell. Well done Micro$oft, I never doubted you.
In other news, is there no way to recover Iomega Zip Discs now?

The primary function of a motor car is to demonstrate wealth and status.
If getting around easily was primary, they'd be thinner.
If safety was primary, they'd painted white or yellow and not black or red.

#autobesity serves only one purpose- corporate profit.

Too tiny for me to get in focus. This houseplant I don't know puts out teeny purple flowers right off the stem. And it has actually self seeded, which is amazing to me.

Is Farage still facing scrutiny over his partner’s £885k Frinton home.
Is it aggressive tax avoidance? Has he misled voters? Where’s the transparency? What’s happening?
Just asking questions.

A few years back, we got a bendy bus with a ticket machine only that did not take bank notes and rejected most coins. So people literally could not pay. They still convicted them for theft (fare evasion). Driver was in a cockpit. Literally no way to pay but they still prosecuted and convicted.
The new integrated payments on Christchurch Metro lets you use a credit card, but you can only buy one ticket. Driver was having to give free rides to family members because there was no way to pay for them. Surprised nobody anticipated the rare scenario of buying two bus tickets.

@alfie.photography I have questions please.
Do you use a tech pouch at all?
How do you carry cables, memory cards, charger, when you are travelling?
If so, do you have any preferred brands or products?
Is there anything worth picking up when in Japan?

Another mini-moon? Maybe. Newly discovered 2025 US6 is officially listed as an asteroid.
Unlike our quasi-moon 2025 PN7, this one is actually bound to Earth, for now.
Its orbit is pure chaos. Enjoy it while it lasts. It’ll probably be demoted to space junk.
