Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

Preemptive reminder that Samaritan's Purse doesn't follow disaster relief and recovery best practices, not even in Franklin Graham's backyard of Western North Carolina, and they're not a good organization to donate to for Hurricane Melissa recovery.

Leaving the ECHR is a fucking stupid idea. It's on a par with leaving the European Union. So we'll probably end up doing it.

Oh. What surprise. I'm sooooo shocked 🙄
Johnson refused to answer specific questions or to provide factual denials to allegations of rule-breaking, while insisting all the rules had been followed at all times. His responses led Acoba’s chair, Isabel Doverty, to find him in breach of the rules.

No mention of Nigel and no picture of the nephew so women can be on their guard if they see him. So weird. Imagine if it was a relative of Starmer's or an asylum seeker.
Just because my nephew Joseph Farage admitted he was guilty of the sexual offence of upskirting, doesn’t mean all Farages are sexual offenders.

That went under the radar

Never mind autism, someone needs to look into a cure for absolute narcissistic self belief that many rich and posh people have. We need an end to people like Trump just blindly saying he's the best, or Boris Johnson types blathering away complete bollocks with absolute certainty.

Never let anyone tell you the #NHS is too far gone or not worth saving.

I noticed the first symptoms of a heart attack at 11:30; was in an ambulance by 12:30; in recovery following angioplasty by 14:30. I'm heading home two days later.

All for no cost.
