I would say β€œhaha I wasn’t barred from The Anchor, my brother-in-law ran it” but I was, and that was why

Have you seen BBC Wales's "snooker player afraid of teabags" story? This is the sort of investigative journalism we, ummm, deserve?

(I mean it very likely does say something about long pig, that sort of detail strikes me as something covered by religious rulings from the Bronze Age more than, y’know, whether TikTok is tamei or whatevs)

It says you can’t eat pig but says nothing about longpig” said Daniel, chewing loudly

Fatwa just means a ruling on a point of Islamic law, it’s like saying you aren’t in favour of Halacha

Ok, so you are saying it was just me. Fine, fine.

Feels like you can’t get a Nazi tattoo and go on Nazi adjacent podcasts whilst being friends with Nazis without people suspecting you are a Nazi and idk judgey much?

Honestly this kind of unrealistic expectation is what drives good people (with Nazi tattoos) away from a life of public service

From what I recall there were only 4 or 5 up the graig when I lived there 20+ years ago but Tref losing its pubs seems symbolic, where do all the students go? Hopefully the Otley still stands?

When I were a lad, my hometown had 13 pubs and clubs, by my reckoning. Currently on 5.

Decline.

Sure, global capitalism inevitably involves dodginess, even though it’s broadly the superior system to live under, but there’s a difference between β€œexisting within”, β€œbenefiting from” and β€œbeing actively complicit with”? I feel there’s a difference there.

Yeah, this is my position - absolutely feel that the government action getting them home or extending support is the right one; I have compassion for family members and children carried along in this, but I absolutely do judge them on this.

Had someone on my Facebook saying β€œimagine judging people on where they live” and I’m like this isn’t getting narky because he’s chosen a house on a run down estate Sandra
