Just a quick message to all the lady sexbots and OF performers that keep trying to follow me or are sending me DMs. Don’t waste your time loves #ontheotherbus
This is questioning we see here and the US from political correspondents that drives me mad.
What is the point of that question? Is it to inform the public? Nope
Does it explain current events or policy? Again, no
It’s a gotcha designed to generate a click, a headline or clip whatever the answer

RAJU: Do you regret your vote to convict Trump?
CASSIDY: My point is ascribing motivations to others I don't think is fair

Smooth Newt found underneath last night's moth trap in the North Hampshire garden. I quite often find one or two newts (both Smooth and Palmate) around the garden moth trap throughout the year. Not sure they are agile enough to catch moths though. #Newts

Should have been sacked a long time ago but you take every win you can. Hopefully this is a true break and he’s not hanging round as an éminence grise.

Inspector Cushing is on it when Flemyng turns his lovely daughter Ventham into a bloodhungry weremoth. Delightfully daft with a cracking cast. 1968.

The problem with so many of our top politicians - from Johnson, Mandelson, Farage - is that they all want to join the oligarch class. Whatever you think of Gordon Brown he is financially unbiddable www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I’ve always wanted to do a mushroom foraging course but I just don’t think I could fully trust myself even after going on a course. Wild mushrooms are lovely, catastrophic liver and kidney failure less so

They need to release a new version of Dante’s Inferno with an extra circle of Hell for all the bastards involved in this evil, heartless policy.
