Ugh. I read she was centre liberal. Maybe not.

She is receiving the Nobel Peace Prize for her tireless work promoting democratic rights for the people of Venezuela and for her struggle to achieve a just and peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy. They dont give it to you for doing it the other way round.

If its perverse and in Spanish I might actually tune in. This official language nonsense is just xenophobic dog whistling. We don’t have one in the UK and its fine. Most UK government website have the option to read in Welsh which is normal & doesnt upset me because I’m not a dickhead.

They have literally just shown their own country as a dystopian nightmare if they follow their plan, and they think that’s a good look?

I’m not even slightly religious, although I was christened CofE, but if I had to guess at who knew more about what is in the bible and how to explain what it means then my moneys on the Pope (or Mr Pope, I believe the correct term is) then some random fella on the internet.

Are they thinking of closing the US version of NAAFI?

I needed a new washing machine recently and saw these smart ones that connect to your phone. I get paranoid when the fridge and the wash machine are the smartest things in my house as I’m already ranked below my phone and my cats.

I was born in England. I’m part English, Welsh and Flemish. I’m I English enough to be English, do I have to do an ancestry test and we go by the %? What would the English % have to be for Matt to be happy for me to be English? We also need to throw into the mix my Welsh DNA means I'm a red head. 🤘

To be fair, Qatar, Iran and China are famous for supporting western democracies and ensuring that there is no kind of dictatorship stuff going on as they hate that stuff. They Famously fund for people freedoms, equality and free and fair elections and stuff like that all the time. Right?

My National Insurance costs me £1,649.04 per year. No co pay or other stuff you guys talk about that I dont understand. Per prescription, if you aren’t exempt, is £9.70 each. If you have a lot of prescriptions, you can prepay approx. £109 per year or £33 for three months.
