Crossword geek (Guardian crossword stats database), politics obsessive (but when the fun stops, stop), intolerant of intolerance. Appropriately butterfly mind - it flits about all over the place. The Archers is real life.
Because the voting public are stupid, Amber will be in the dance off again, and will get the judges' nod against either George or Balvinder. But it won't matter in the end because Karen will win the final, cos she's had the best "joirney". And she's a former Lioness. #Strictly

The very same commentators that spent years condemning anti-semitism in UK politics as a major national scandal, have suddenly lost interest now that it implicates one of their own

2016 Daily Mail: We want foreigners out! We don’t care if it makes us poorer. Brexit means Brexit!
2025 Daily Mail: Foreigners are leaving Starmer’s Britain because this country is poor and shit!
This country would be so much better off without this hypocritical, incendiary, irresponsible rag.

I viscerally hate Trump and all that he stands for. And he can check my social media history as much as he likes - I have no intention of going to the US while he is president anyway.

Actually, USA made the semi final at the very first World Cup in 1930 (lost 6-1 to Argentina).

I've watched a lot of World Cup draws, and invariably have wanted them to fast forward through all the schmaltz and just cut to the balls 'n' bowls. But this is next level bullshit.

The reasons for Trump winning the FIFA Peace Prize in full:
1) Because if he didn't get it he'd stamp his foot and cancel the World Cup.
2) Er...
3) ...that's it.

Just conducted a trial draw for the 2026 World Cup, taking into account all the confederation and seeding constraints - here's what came out. Not mad at it. In this scenario England would be seeded to meet Spain in the SF and either France or Argentina in the Final.

Dear BlueSky, I want to racially abuse someone I see every day, but not in a way that might hurt their feelings. I'm also concerned that it might reflect badly on me when I run for public office later in life. Any tips?
