Sometimes, meet your heroes. Because sometimes they are the nicest, most genuine and funniest people you will have the privilege of meeting.
Honoured isn't the word.
(I met Johnny Ball in this same spot 5 years ago, this is the first time either of us returned. Astonishing coincidence).

This is completely insane. Legal types, do get in touch with family if you can help.
Deeply concerning news about our friend and former BF teammate Rebecca Burke whose backpacking trip to the US has ended with her being detained by ICE for over ten days, with no clear timeline for her release. Please read her father's statement here: www.facebook.com/paulrburke

A 2% wealth tax in the UK on people with over £100m (like France) would raise £30bn a year.
It's time to tax the rich.

You would think someone who owns a spacecraft company would have some tiny fucking clue about optimal flightpath (literally no object going into space takes a straight line).
Unless of course he was a fucking moron.

Why aren't farmers incandescent that a Tory government allowed the ultra-rich to buy farm land to escape IHT, when many of them now act as feudal landlords renting land back to farmers instead of them owning it?

1. Nhs staff were on strike.
2. This led to longer waiting lists.
3. Labour government agreed a deal finishing the strikes.
4. As a result, waiting lists have come down.
Only a right-wing loon or newspaper would paint that as anything other than an important improvement.

It's very clear now, Trump wants to capture some land - another person's country - and he's not really bothered whose or where, just so long as he can say he took it.
He wants to be Putin.

Trump is an idiot (as well as a twat).
He's imposed tariffs on energy imports from Canada.
This means simply that American energy bill will rise. For Americans.

Last night we took part in our weekly pub quiz. We won the quiz but left the money on the table.
Which shows our dedication to the pure art of quizzing.

I cannot express my anger with Trump strongly enough. He will say ANYTHING to divert blame from his own actions when something bad happens.

Was just disinvited by @bbc5live.bsky.social to a discussion of Brexit 5 years on- on the entirely reasonable/correct grounds that I know what I am talking about and would give an expert, objective view.
What they actually wanted was a "hard Remainer" (to balance a know-nothing Brexiteer).
