I can't help feeling that DV have to find something to report in order to justify their funding. We need data, such as which polling stations were affected, the time, action taken to raise issue with the Presiding Officer at the time, and outcome of such action. Otherwise it's unverifiable.

The Pentagon says it’s ‘lethalitymaxxing’. Why has ‘incel’ slang crossed into the mainstream? With the rise of influencer Clavicular and ‘looksmaxxers’, sexist language from niche memes has infiltrated official government accounts and NYT headlines

Reminds me very much of the slang used by Alex (Malcolm McDowell) in Clockwork Orange, my droogs.

Makes sense, that's where all the security files are !!

I think the phrase was ‘tired and emotional’

Zzzzzzzzzuu

The replication crisis would make a great topic for a PhD thesis.

Photos of Trump, Netanyahu, and Putin with the following post: It's incredible how many of our global issues have been caused by three white men in their 70s clinging to power to avoid prison.

Isn't that the definition of a police state?

If ambrosia is the food of the gods, then marmite is the food of the devil (IMO, other opinions are available)

Fracking in Lancashire not ruled out, Reform deputy leader says

If I was up against Reform in places like Lancashire, this would be a lead story on my leaflets. Reform does the oil and gas industry's bidding and that has real consequences for residents.

That's silly. Everyone know that the Prime Minister is Ted Heath 😁

I was a little surprised at the Tories complaining about Number 10 not celebrating Middlesex Day yesterday, but very happy to do my bit.

Happy International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia.

Ah, dear old Bill Boakes. There were many, but I'm guessing Chesterfield

Completely insane from Yvette Cooper and the Labour govt. Our care sector is already on its knees—Brexit gutted staffing, and now they want to ban overseas recruitment? Care services will be battered by this right-wing cosplay. Shameful.

He has all the hallmarks of being a charlatan. He’s polished because he is a trained actor. He left the Lib Dems over not being selected for Richmond Park. Don’t forget

Greetings, Pope Pickers!

As the conclave begins it's time for the Cardinals to greet each other with the words that Alan Freeman taught us:

I think I want to be sick

Doctors say the Supreme Court case saying a definition of "biological" women to be "self-explanatory and to require no

Like anyone who knows anything about biology says, repeatedly.

Are you sure about that? 😁

I’m a Kentishman, we look down our noses at Surrey and their goings-on.

Frimley is well known for it!

I hope Wera got an answer to her question: Wera Hobhouse demands answers; what's happening at Scunthorpe?

I was going to post something about today's judgement, but I'm just too fucking incandescent to write clearly.

The Trans pride flag with Trans Rights are Human Rights written on it. Now and forever.

Love forever for my Trans siblings.

Is 'nice, church-mending, vegans' the modern equivalent of the 1970s 'beard-and-sandals brigade' ?

I wonder what four parties all on 22% would do to the FPTP lottery
