There are different ways of being "better". It was "better" being a well-paid coal miner in the 1960s with reasonable housing & facilities, plus an assurance of work not just for you but for your sons (and for your wife and daughters in other industries deliberately located in the same pit village)

Then again, if you're writing about life on Jupiter ...

Yes, I think that's akin to my problem with the series- I didn't feel any enthusiasm for turning to the next page (so in the end I just stopped reading and switched to something lighter like J.G. Ballard, whose "Wind From Nowhere" & "Drowned World" have been in my thoughts quite a lot recently)

PS: I wonder if the BBC can sue Karoline Leavitt for her "they are total, 100 percent fake news" claim?

So a standard Trump situation then

The Panorama editing was unworthy of the BBC, but well within the bounds of First Amendment speech as a representation of the overall tone of the event.

Not just Trump's speech, the whole event. It was all (even the Twitter invitation on December 19: "Be there, will be wild") designed with one aim, and the word "peacefully" in his speech was a legal fig-leaf.

Probably inspired the post-service career of Ryan McBeth tho'

Did Pippin choose the flavour?

To me "old location" means Beckermet; Roper Street was just a passing phase

Scottish law is separate- there'd have to be a whole new process at the Court of Session

I wonder if an effect of Brexit was to reduce the percentage of those much-needed immigrants who had somewhat pale complexions 🤔

They did, however, make intelligent use of the word "floop".

Maybe it's a Time cover joke

Trump has been fixated on Richard Blumenthal for years and years, because he always needs a go-to example of blatant long-term lying by a Democrat, and RB (exposed way back in 2010 by the New York Times) is the best he's got- though FAR less outrageous than Trump claims

The worry is not that Thiel can afford to rent a hall, but that he has accumulated sufficient power to make some pretty significant prophecies come true.
