profits from the shorts presumably have already been taken, so we can expect the US forces to withdraw, claiming total victory, in the next few days.

Winter second wettest for Dorset since records began in 1836. Only surpassed by Winter 2013/14. I recorded 635.2mm in Dorchester this Winter, and 646.1mm in 2013/14.
I remember 2013/14 as being much stormier (windier) here, than this Winter. www.metoffice.gov.uk/about-us/new...

Stewart Lee's latest bit for @thenerve.news (belated) www.thenerve.news/p/stewart-le...
In which Lee compares/contrast policing of anti-Gay protestors in Oxford St (they were stopped) with anti-Muslim protestors in Whitechapel (they were not), while musing on the limits of political theatre.
Farage rants about "family voting" & postal votes being "a rich seam for fraudsters to mine" without any evidence whatsoever.
He's silent on the far more dangerous problem of money flowing into UK politics from billionaires abroad. Given how much of Reform's cash comes this way, perhaps that's why.
Another ironymeter explodes
