It's a deliberate provocation. I hope everyone stays safe!

All a bit holier than thou. The producers know who they're putting onto the show and what the controversy will be. I haven't watched it since they kicked out Nasty Nick for being honest about the shows fictitious premise!

but they both have reasons to seek redemption. Will they stop the train and save the town, and reunite with their families, or just give up? Only time will tell!

There's a film on tv about a runaway train. Luckily Denzil Washington and his young assistant are on another train trying to catch it and stop it before it hits the bend and spills the cargo of deadly chemicals all over town. However they both have reasons not to give a shit... 1/2

Unless it's a mince pie of course, then it's ok to call it a mince pie, but only if it's made out of actual minced meat, and not mincemeat!

I was one of the lucky ones. Coming out brought me much closer to my parents, and my daughter, who's my Number One Ally!

Reconnected with friends I'd lost contact with decades ago, and made pathways back into the real world.

Just in case you are curious - and my God you should be - about the dude Wes Streeting and others are handing loads of public data contracts to. 👇

"This surveillance supersystem," Thiel wrote, could act as “a political framework that operates outside the checks and balances of representative democracy as described in high school textbooks.” www.wired.com/story/the-re...

The Real Stakes, and Real Story, of Peter Thiel’s Antichrist Obsession

Thirty years ago, a peace-loving Austrian theologian spoke to Peter Thiel about the apocalyptic theories of Nazi jurist Carl Schmitt. They’ve been a road map for the billionaire ever since.

My mum was a life long asthma sufferer. We lived in the shadow of Battersea Power Station. Shortly after it was decommissioned she no longer needed an inhaler. A coincidence, or a result of the clean air laws? Answers on a postcard to...

Not seen a single Star Wars, a few clips here and there, but not more than that. It's become a matter of honour now to avoid them, like a duel!

The Telegraph, which campaigned against the exclusion and silencing of "gender-critical" transphobes is now campaigning for the exclusion and silencing of trans people.

By "trans activists hijack" The Telegraph mean "trans people are involved"

Trans activists ‘hijack’ group researching NHS gender issues
The Daily Telegraph6 Oct 2025By Michael Searles DEPUTY HEALTH EDITOR
TRANS activists have taken over a research group set to underpin the future of NHS care for gender-questioning children, critics have claimed.

The taxpayer-funded project was set up to address the “weak evidence” around treating children who question their gender in response to the Cass review.

But the project has now been accused of “bias” by openly promoting puberty blockers and sex-change surgery.

The James Lind Alliance (JLA) also labels gender dysphoria – a medical condition – as “gender diversity”, and collects data on gender identity instead of biological sex.

It was commissioned by the NHS in the wake of Baroness Cass’s review into gender-questioning children’s care to understand “what future research evidence will help secure the best outcomes for children, adolescents and young adults”.

My ex had a habit of trying out convoluted new recipes on the occasions she'd invited guests to dinner. It was always a fraught experience. She wouldn't listen when I suggested she try them out on me first a few days prior.
