Very nice work

Just had an idea for a Podcast pitch

Well, I'm a monkey's uncle. Should we ask how the £9bn gap is going to be closed or just completely ignore the silly stunt.

Anyhow being a known passionate believer that the Tories are going to win a majority (biggly) at the next GE I'm advising everyone to allow the market to stagnate until then.

The Guardian: Global renewable energy generation surpasses coal for first time

This is good news. It would be even better if Trump wasn't torpedoing the U.S. solar and wind industry and ceding the energy future to China. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Pritzker: "He wants to militarize major cities because he wants us to get used to the idea of troops on the streets. I believe he's gonna post people outside of polling places and if he needs to in order to control those elections, he'll assume control of the ballot boxes & count the votes himself"

If you come for my people, you come through me.

Brookmans Park is also very well known for it's VOR aviation beacon -

There's a touch of the Liz Truss about Kemi Badenoch. Both in the tax cut paid for by fantasy figures and also a belief there's This One Special Trick The British State Doesn't Want You To Know About! that will somehow solve everything.
Be rude to some civil servants and the UK's problems vanish!

Pritzker: "He said he was going after the worst of the worst. It's not going after the worst of the worst when you're just literally stopping children who happen to be brown & asking them for papers as if they're gonna have proof they're a citizen. Pull out your phones and film everything you see"

A news alert text from Sky News. It says: Lists of Israeli hostages and Palestinian prisoners to be released under swap deal have been exchanged, Hamas says.

Israelis are hostages. But Palestinians are prisoners.

Language matters. But, two years on, apparently it still doesn’t to many mainstream media outlets.

What a failure it has been.

[Aunty Dolly was much better but since she is allergic to cats...]

As you can imagine the locals can't understand why they are draped in England flags.

but I'm cautious by nature.

So this time I did go for Ken. I'm a changed man.

I got first choice and went for Val, but when I saw Ken he was very arresting, wish I'd gone for him, surprised myself.

This very very very bad. I cannot stress this enough. I said that they crossed the Rubicon with arresting Ras Baraka several months ago. This is very bad and portends more bad things for regular people.

Exactly I'm a 'more than 30'

Congrats Richard, well done

I'm never actually going to need to write another comment piece again am I?

The right wing shit rags are just going to keep recruiting for us.

Rained when I was there and blooming cold at night on the platform waiting for the 'sleeper' to Venice

Not me, we had one on our telephone table in the hall (party line)

The first episode of Monty Python's Flying Circus featured a bicycle race of modernist painters who were painting while riding

Paul Reczeh

Robert Jenrick

Not saying they look *exactly* alike but would definitely cast Robert Jenrick (shadow justice secretary) in biopic of Paul Reczeh (Gestapo agent, all-round sociopath)

Here's the relevant chart from the above report. It's rare to see such a clear, consistent slope in any social trend. That segregation is decreasing is perhaps the best evidence, least controversial social fact of modern Britain

Nice

I know statistics are poorly understood and are misused. But facts matter

Between the 1991, 2001, 2011 and 2021 Census *every* ethnic group in the UK has become *less* geographically segregated and *all* groups, majority and minorities, are more likely to interact with people not like them

Tony: I'm just going to shout my last defiant message to the world. You're doomed, all of you! Return to nature before it's too late!

Kenneth: Go to bed you old drunk!

Tony: I am not drunk sir, I have seen the light!

Kenneth: You'll see my fist if you don't shut up!
