Can't believe it's been 36 years since them bullets smashed into that slag Ceaușescu, it still freaks my nut out to this day.
My father in law has done his traditional Christmas Day Facebook post to remind us of the true meaning of the day:
Reminding us of the greatest Christmas of all, December 25th, 1989, when they shot that bastard Ceaușescu

They literally couldn’t be bothered to even show up to discuss the VAWG strategy today. bsky.app/profile/sara...
A grand total of 10 Conservatives (one woman) and 0 Reform present for a statement on the VAWG strategy.
Clearly protecting women and girls isn’t that much of a priority for them.

It's hard to find the words for how disgusting this is. It completely silences girls' experiences of male violence. It fails to recognise the importance of education for prevention. It ignores the drivers of men's violence. And it's racist.

Wow, wonder if this would be more affordable if you, say, did broad based tax rises instead of a smorgasbord of tiny little ones to try not to break a promise that the electorate, correctly, already thinks you've broken.
Defence Investment Plan due date: Autumn, before Xmas and now next year.

I've been off social media a lot, for me, this afternoon, but catching up and what the actual fuck is wrong with some people. You can absolutely condemn the Israeli government for its genocide in Gaza. If you use that in any way shape or form to minimise the attack in Sydney you need serious help.

As we hurtle towards Christmas, tis once again the season for exceptionally poor pubmanship.
It's not that difficult ...
• Know what you want before you get served
• Order the Guinness first
• Bring your empties back to the bar
A pub is for life, not just for Christmas ... 🎄🎄🎄

Welcome to Britain, a country so short of dentists that an MP's 87-year-old mum pulled her teeth out with pliers. Also a country with thousands of foreign-qualified dentists who can’t work until they pass an exam so oversubscribed it’s like trying to book Glasto tickets. www.ft.com/content/f4e5...
