Always heartbreaking to hear him talking about his dear wife

Which of them do you want to lose the least ?

If they’re very lucky. Most trials in my area are now late 28, will be 2029 before these are listed. Not custody, not sex or violence etc. can’t take priority over those

That’s should have been β€˜bad thing is’ not β€˜dad’ thing is.
Be a bit of a shocker if Ben was my dad, same age and all that.

Dad thing is, listening to the @newsagents.bsky.social special on the cover up re Biden, the alternative may have been worse

The biggest change in reproductive rights in Britain in half a century has just passed the Commons.

MPs have voted 379-137 to decriminalise abortion, preventing women from being prosecuted for terminating a pregnancy after 24 weeks.

Well. You’ve always got an ally in me. (Maybe even a coffee !)

Ah….the Andrew Tate generation?
Horrifying man

Really surprised about the attacks on gay people. Is that from the older generation as I’d like the think the younger people are more accepting

08.06.2025 21:16 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

You’re absolutely right, I can’t comment on that as I’ve no idea but still hope as whole we’re a decent country. I naively thought that at least, gay rights have progressed over the years. Society is more accepting?

Don’t think we’re anywhere near where America are. The religious crazies would get laugh out of politics here. No way we’d have the abortion laws, look what’s happening in LA atm. Reform are a 1 man band. Without Farage, they’re nothing and they’re tearing each other apart.

Whatever else we are, as a whole Britain is relatively middle of the road. We’ve the extreme on the left and right but the majority (often silent ) are moderate. Best things for reform to take control of a few councils, f it up, get bored and folk will see them for what they are

Just had my annual health check up.
Blokes of a β€˜certain age’ get your prostrate checked. Takes less than 30 seconds and it’s all done.

After not running any races since before Covid (apart from parkrun ) my race calendar is slowly filling up again

My clerks are arguing with them atm as they’re refusing to believe a GRH took place despite my clear notes. Had to get email from court saying it did. Not much money but it’s the principle

It’s a great world where Blakey from β€œOn the Buses” agrees with a former PM

You’re right of course but no single man should be given that power. It’s perverse to pardon someone as you feel like it

But he is the President. That’s the issue. Huge conflict of interests

02.12.2024 14:08 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 2    πŸ“Œ 0

He never will. Britain in the most is centre left or right. We’re not like America. We don’t vote in extremists.
At least I hope I’m right and your bookmark falls apart with age

Exactly. Whoever does it, it’s corrupt. Way too much power for one person. Whatever we are in the UK, we’d never elect a Trump. Johnson for non league compared with him.

It’s wrong. Very wrong. Would I do the same thing for my son ? Absolutely I would which is why a President shouldn’t have that power

As in put it in word, fully justify it and then copy and paste
