Masculine ? He’s the kind of masculine who goes to the tattooist & comes away with a cock & balls inked on his back.

My Mum washed my Led Zeppelin official Knebworth 1979 T-shirt, that I brought back from the gig. And turned it pink. This was a significant trauma. Her comment β€œwell it still looks nice” was like having a screw driver pushed into the wound.

It’ll be interesting to see how she wreaks her revenge. She’s been put through the mincer for Trump, and now he’s cast her aside like a used stoma bag. She will be one angry woman.

It would be difficult to avoid the truth that she’s brought it all on herself though.

Seriously I’ve been watching a good number of the clips from her testimony this last couple of days. You could almost hear the pennies dropping as she realised how bad her situation was, and the mistakes she’s made defending Trump. Who will NOT defend her

TRUMP : Noem will now shift to a newly established position, the Special Envoy for The Shield of the Americas, which is a new Security Initiative in the Western Hemisphere

He’s sending her to fucking Greenland !!

Have followed a a few new followers back today. If I’ve missed you out give me a nudge. It’s probably nothing personal.

Weirdly Costco seem to be trying to off load cheap pork & beef in the UK right now. Their normally expensive (but otherwise excellent) meat is usually labelled prominently β€œBritish Beef”. The stuff I saw yesterday had β€œimported from USA” in the small print. It’s a tough sell though.

Is he perfect ? No ! Tbh I’d prefer him to be a little less cautious. Possibly a lot less. But Kemi Badenoch or Farridge in his Garridge. Don’t make me laugh.

Yeah but I do, and all you’re laughing / crying emoji’s won’t do anything to change my mind. I’ve not forgotten, Liz Truss, Rishi Sunak, Boris Johnson, Theresa May or David Cameron. He’s head & shoulders above all of them. Also knocks Corbyn into a cocked hat

pretty much summarises her entire experience. I think young people fly off to β€œtravel” with cheap insurance- because they’re young, not considering health reciprocal arrangements, excess payments or limits on cover. It wasn’t difficult to get top surgery- but expensive & needed specialist transport

I never understood why they did any of it tbh. Although Sheffield, Rotherham, Doncaster seem a long way from Leeds, Huddersfield, Bradford these days.

A friend of my daughter’s had a terrible time there after a motorcycle injury, friends & relatives raised many thousands to pay for (mostly American provided ) private surgery.

It was because Humberside covered both the East Riding & the area south of the Humber in Lincolnshire which wasn’t in Yorkshire to start with. I think (can’t remember properly) that Middlesbrough & surrounds were part of East Riding (but possibly North) that were included in Cleveland.

There was no South Riding. South Yorkshire was mostly part of the West Riding. The East Riding initially became part of Humberside, and is now mostly the East Riding again. The White Rose tends to be the only flag.

This can’t be accurate. I’m from Yorkshire, and can tell you that Yorkshire Exceptionalism is still extremely strong. β€œYorkshire’s Republican Army” is still sung regularly at many Yorkshire football team games. It gets embarrassing at times.

It’s certainly amongst the lowest paid areas of work.

The large amount of care needed multiplies the cost of care very quickly even on very low pay. It’s a very difficult cycle to break, and the UK is heavily dependent on immigrant carers - but all workers deserve fair pay

Also, read what I said. I said he was doing a magnificent job. Not the same thing. But you go on twisting your words.

I think he’s coping pretty magnificently in a a dire chaotic situation inflicted by an insane leadership team in our closest allies.

Hope they don’t get injured. Not the best place to get health care.

There are more than 1 though. Hegseth for me is the one who should have been in prison long before he came into office.
