They are down a lot in the polls aren’t they? They’ve lost a lot of Westminster seats and might well lose the Scottish parliament

I think of GB as my country and half of it would be gone.

I totally agree with the proscription but it is a bit Kafkaesque that they can’t pay any lawyers to fight it. Having said that, I’m not sure how I’d feel about ISIS, Hamas or the Provos getting their day in court

I thought for a moment that I posted on C by mistake

Incel definition of “Chad” is “a slang term that refers to a stereotypical alpha male. This term describes a man who is often admired or scorned for his self-confidence and attractiveness. Chads are typically characterized as strong, handsome, and successful with women.”

Another graph I saw last week showed an 80% fall in teenage pregnancy in the USA

You obviously didn’t read it properly. If you are implying a connection to Reform they will probably sue you

The SNP seems to be imploding though and even Reform is making some inroads. Unfortunately, with referenda the secessionists only have to win once and with a small margin but I think it’s unlikely to happen in the near future

I agree that if NI left that would be the end of the UK as such — but hardly anybody in GB would give a toss to put it bluntly. Scotland is an altogether more serious matter and I would be be absolutely gutted if they became independent.

Starmer says a lot a stupid things that he reverses the following week. Anyway, his political lifetime will be a lot shorter than his actual lifetime

The SNP is the only threat to the unity of the UK and they are a busted flush

@briancoxtalks.bsky.social suggested in one of his BBC programmes that human resources would be practically “unlimited” (was the word I think he used) if we could exploit the rest of the solar system. I find this offhanded remark by a realistic scientist more convincing than Musk’s actual projects

It is a place but — despite being Welsh — I’m not sure what else it is

This should be a pie chart

Maybe if the Argies had hit a carrier instead of Atlantic Conveyor

Define modern

Well who would have known?

Rare to see such a uniform response across age groups. Totally wrong in my opinion — but very uniform

I’ve recently started baking baby potatoes — it’s quite quick and they have a lot more flavour than boiling them. In the USA you can get long narrow baby potatoes called fingerlings and they bake particularly quickly

RFK is totally misguided but these vaccine companies made billions of dollars during covid so they should be able to fund their own research

Has there ever been an hour when no gas generation was used? I noticed yesterday that it was down to 9% when there was a strong breeze on a sunny day and today it was at 7% when solar was at 33%. The first gas free hour would be a historic milestone

America doesn’t care about the safety of pedestrians and deadly drivers get the most meagre penalties

According to the epidemiologists, DOGE killed more people in a month than the IDF in 18 months

If you have a Mac

Actually the first time I saw him in a film, he was in drag trying to entrap a mugger or sex pest. I forget the details — but I remember the wig.

Better than his acting though

I never saw Rambo but its reputation caused me to avoid Cliff Hanger on the big screen — something I sorely regret every time I watch it on TV

But the polls suggest that you (collectively) resent having to spend it on groceries

Guessing that it was the Florida industry who asked for the minimum in the first place because at that time their juice had higher levels than the competition. Can’t imagine any other reason for such a stupid regulation

Apparently it’s refundable when the visitors leave. Basically, it’s a carnet — on people.
