Disappointed Optimist

Cup of tea?

Robert Jenrick holds up a judges wig like a puppet during his speech to the Conservative Party Conference.

We have an independent judiciary in this country. Robert Jenrick wants puppet judges.

The Conservative Party once believed in the rule of law and our shared British values - no longer.

There's something very "Ford Prefect" about a process that arrives at "Harper Collins" as a sensible name for a pornbot

Yes but do you want us to reply with a racist slur like the other place as well?

Not sure, some place on Welsh borders. Someone shared photos of a place recently but it was gutted

An Instagram comment: suamala98 16h Do people watch Graham Norton? I tend to watch artistic films, mainly French films because of the artistic expression. This just seems like entertainment for lesser minds, maybe try reading novels. Perhaps Russian literature like Tolstoy?

They will go on to specifically say no we won’t bring you a rollaway bed or extra bedding for sofa.

But they also don’t explicitly tell you that you are expected to share with your child.

Apparently it’s common in Dubai to list the max capacity of a room if it’s for family. The assumption is you will simply sleep with your child in the big bed.
