I read the whole thing and realised that reality never has to bite if you’re rich and pampered and surrounded by stans.

And then journalists feed off an emotional reaction to tell people how to feel

Yay! And this time round, you’ve made it possible to buy without using PayPal or Shopify. Run by two of the biggest Caesars out there. So I ust ordered one ☝️

My deepest condolences. Your family must be in pieces right now. Who is to say if it’s right or wrong to put personal heartbreak on here. Personally, I salute your honesty. And I think it’s right to express your love for Rory any way you can.

Because Christ knows he’s going to milk it for all it’s worth

At the FIFA Club World Cup the ghoul gatecrashed the winners’ ceremony, snaffled a winner’s medal and stole the trophy.

I shudder to think how he will besmirch the Olympic Games.

Why do you think the BBC love voxpops so much?

They are TRYING to create false impressions.

Not my fault if Excel can’t sort from right to left.

We read from left to right.
Which is why time happens from left to right.

Starmer’s proven himself a timid wee beastie.

Always reacting to the weather.

Never outpacing events with strategic conviction. He will howl at the squandered chances his government had (once out of office).

The concept of “online safety” sits very poorly within any sentence referencing Elon Musk’s X.

Given how many acres of newsprint the ST has always devoted to English exceptionalism and ANYTHING to do with WW2 / Hitler, it’s no surprise when you think about it

I’ve started using it too.
At first you think, “But it can’t be as good as Google!”

Then you just get used to it.

Not the dullard Anne McElvoy again! She’s been religiously sanitising the fall-out from mad Tory policies for decades now!

Exactly. Hundreds of people object to every planning application. Always have done, always will do.
