Not sure we needs another wide forward/winger but I'd take him at United if he's going cheap.

There’s a long track record in the commons of women MPs working cross party on VAWG *for a reason*, which is firstly that this doesn’t have to be a partisan issue & secondly that ‘cultures that don’t respect women’ has at times felt like a fair description of parliament.

Suspect some female Tory MPs are quietly dying inside at this. When you’re so desperate to get in a bit of gratuitous foreigner-bashing that you find yourself arguing *against* preventative strategies that try to prevent sexual violence, ffs, what have you become?
Dog-whistle and factually incorrect. Ladies, raise your hand if you were sexually assaulted by a boy at school? I’d wager this or a family member is most women’s first experience of sexual violence

I didn't realise quagga mussels were so utterly devastating.
Sounds like Lough Erne may be changed forever, and presumably, all Irish lakes within a couple of years.

Adore the British-themed mural in my hotel in Valletta, including: yassified Virgin Queen, Churchill with pigeon, and for some reason General Rochambeau (not very British? like really pointedly not? did they think he was Nelson? wrong number of arms for a start) in a Spitfire that says “dong” on it

This thread reminds me of my late Grandfather's antiques shop in Gainsborough (Pilgrims Antiques is still open and is run by my granfathers business partner Michael)
There’s an antiques emporium in Norwich of such unfathomable strangeness every visit produces fresh gasps of bewilderment and terror. Recent finds:

The blockade of Venezuela is a disgusting echo of U.S. imperialism in Latin America. We were lied to about Iraq and WMDs, and an entire generation paid the price.
Here we are again.
We cannot let a wannabe dictator drag us into another forever war.
