this whole war has been nothing but disgustingly cruel but the idea of sending horses into battle the deep mud of autumn and frozen winter is so fucking gruesome

Jim Gavin was a nominee in the Irish presidential race, until he pulled out at the weekend due to a scandal whereby he owed a former tenant €3,300.
Not sure what Putin and fascists have to do with this.

Ah. I’m a bit of an internet expert and I can see what’s happened here. Let me break it down so we can all calm down a bit:

In fact, maybe you could also get: information on your refund entitlement and how to complain; an estimate of the total wasted human life hours attributable to that train company this year; and the salary of the ceo.

Here's a mediocre idea for a webapp or twitter bot: "Is It Just Me Or Are The Trains Crap". You tell it the train you're on, and how late it is; you get, in return, contextual information about how unusual that is.

OK - not only do the MAXUS EV vans (eDeliver 3, 7 and 9) come with the same chunky V2L capability as the MG (7kW) - they also support EPTO ( a DC version of V2L) which means you will be able to run some really big loads off these.

Sweatshop Muslims make 'patriotic' British shirts for Tommy Robinson EXCLUSIVE: Tommy Robinson paid foreign Muslim sweatshop workers to make 'patriotic' T-shirts for anti-Muslim Unite The Kingdom march, the Daily Mail can reveal.

"More than using Muslims to make these 'patriotic' shirts for his anti-Muslim supporters, Robinson has chosen to use an incredibly controversial manufacturer, [who] according to the FairWear Foundation, pays its Bangladeshi workers 36p per hour." ~AA

Is the Thames Water bailout plan - which relieves the company from fines for up to fifteen years - lawful?

He doesn't want areas where there is a 'preponderance' of one race over another. My kids school in rural Suffolk had one black family in a school of 1200 pupils. But that's not what he means, is it?

Thing is, if you’re a lawyer and a Tory - maybe you’re even a Tory peer - and you fail to speak out very clearly and publicly against this stuff, you’re signalling for all to see that you’re at best comfortable with fascism and the destruction of the rule of law

This is a lie.

There are many criticisms you might sensibly and truthfully make of the Sentencing Council and the Sentencing Guidelines. I’ve been making them for years.

But this is an outright lie. Pure fabrication. A fraud on the public.
