I did enjoy Vance being booed, but all the speeches about peace, harmony and treating each other with kindness is hard to take when I*rael are allowed to compete.

Like “bad” art is so pure actually. In its lack of technical “skill” or expertise or whatever its just a pure expression of the need to create and express its beautiful
It is!! I love so much tacky naff art. I have a collection of tacky teapots precisely because they are these bold things someone made despite all “good taste” and such. Bad art is almost one of the truest purest innocent forms of human expression

Trying to work oot why Scots are falling for an English racist Party that wants to shut your voice down & remove any power you have through Holyrood & that is taking money from a racist Epstein authoritarian Gov in another Country to deny sovereignty & also helped make you poorer through Brexit.

Been thinking about this in light of this post going viral yesterday - there’s this strange belief that online leftposters hold enough political influence that voicing disapproval will sabotage democrat campaigns, but are irrelevant enough that politicians wanting votes should ignore their concerns

I imagined that ITV were going to show a banner type ad during the match, which is bad enough. But it's an actual advert complete with audio.
I mean, I'm genuinely grateful that they and the Beeb have joined forces to keep the 6 nations free to air. I really am. But they can piss off with this shit

Our Sec of State once again showing utter contempt for Cymru and for any kind of reasonable debate about its future. Unprofessional behaviour and embarrassing for Labour at both ends of the magical M4 power superhighway.
Asked a perfectly reasonable question of the Wales Office. Got a party-political rant in response.
People want to know what discussions are taking place between their two governments.
Wales deserves better than twin Labour governments in cahoots to conceal their failures.
