This is insane.

Labour have leapt several orders of magnitude further up the "hostility to immigrants" ladder this week, and Britain is now on course to be the least welcoming country in Europe.

NOTE: Labour want it that way: they were BOASTING that the UK would be harsher than any other country.

Good grief

My favourite, although I do still wonder what the launching clamps are for.

Dommage.

Hi. Not bad at all, thanks, but surfing the interesting times. You?

I think you need to have anl verifiably independent defence policy.

And now Twitter's spinning because I dared to say how really fucking bad that really fucking bad pretty car was.

There's a vertical 22 in monitor but literally no suspension.

And I've come home from the pub (often drunk) in cabs approx 2000 times.

This isn't political. I have not been in a more horrendously uncomfortable vehicle (except for an identical one a few months ago) since "Everybody wants to run the world" times, in a 3rd world country, on a mountain, in mud, with a breakdown with broken breaks.

I might not survive this journey home. Honestly, the tiny boot of a Maestro on a hot day was more comfortable.

It feels like a filter, in the same way as this Tesla feels like intentionally inflicted nausea and butt hurt.

Im happy of course to mention here how I've never travelled in anything as arse-jarringly uncomfortable and generally sick-making since the 80s in Indonesia. Seriously, the term vomit comet was made for this beautiful (I'll give it that), bone and gut unfriendly abomination with *shit* ventilation.

Is there actually a thread or is this just a filter? I dont want to reply to Matthew's Slava Ukraine with a post about how tesla make me sick, as appropriate as that might be.

Yes. Much more going on, and Paul's there.

Maybe time to be here more now. I'm blocking about 4x more people than I'm liking tweets in the other place.

It's that time of the year again.

Has important deadlines. Spends morning talking to ChatGPT about the geopolitical realities and rapid semi-industrialisation of Thedas after the disbanding of the Inquisition.

I miss those times.

Mince pie and slice of fruit cake for pre-breakfast before the visitors wake up.

You never know. The cause is normally established and shared pretty quickly. I enjoy watching each one unfold, as I live in that world, but I've been busy with family, slow moving Azumas and very fast moving atmosphere this w/e.

You never know. Chance of either. Seems to have been a good old fashioned failure from what I've read.

At Stoke on Trent apparently...

I haven't seen any explanation circulated yet. It was either a problem with the system (these things happen) or *another* "problem" with networked stuff (who knows why these things have been happening these last few weeks?).

I'm a 19 year South West Trains commuter.I stand strong 💪

Thanks, Kat. Tbh I'm expecting to have to take a taxi. Either I will, or, I won't and I'll be ahead of where I expected to be...

I remember the fall of the Roman Empire.

It was a bit like this.

And I'm not that far West. If there are trains from Bristol (biggish if), I'm good.

I'm expecting that, but hoping 🤞. There are a *lot* of people working to clear the railway today.
