I'm very old and I've no idea who they are. I know, they've never heard of me either πŸ™„.
I like the idea of a "Trump savaged by Bad Bunny" headline.

I think that's fair comment about him, even if he hadn't posted it.

If he had a heart attack, you'd put a second class stamp on the letter requesting an ambulance.

Fair enough, Mone is Scottish, but we're not taking any responsibility for Rowling.

Wow! I started reading at "I had to see if it was worth my time", and thought, no it isn't.

Just seen the staff at Sainsbury's, Blackhall, Edinburgh, move a young woman, selling The Big Issue away from the entrance.
It's pouring with rain, and she's distressed.
Some of us like to buy The Big Issue.
F*ck you Sainsbury's. I will not be back in that branch, and I worked there when it opened.

Every time you think it can't get worse.......
It feels like the USA, is an episode of Candid Camera, organised by The Kremlin.

We don't have the money to end child poverty, but a digital ID card to try and appease the far right, up pops the magic money tree.

To be fair, when the planet becomes uninhabitable, it will stop the boats.
We are so f*cked.

Wait until the organisation that manages the data is hacked.

When you apply for a job, you have to provide proof that you you are entitled to work in the UK anyway. If an employer has been happy to ignore that in the past, are they going to care about digital id cards?
Can future governments be trusted with that control?

I can see them all, protesting outside the Inn's stable in Bethlehem. Demanding Jesus, Mary, and Joseph get sent back to Nazareth.
We must turn the donkeys back at Ramla.

I signed last week.
It's crazy that the SRU will not support the success of the women's team.
They have been inspirational, and not just to girls and young women.
I'm proud of their achievements, skills, committment, and team spirit.
They demonstrate all that's good about rugby.

People who are interested in the truth don't listen to them. They're not the target audience.
Those who benefit from their actions in power, don't care, they're winning.
Maga are smart and do their 'own research' via the algorithms on social media.
Enough people will see it and beleive it.

As he's wasting 6 hours a day, sleeps for maybe 6 hours, and he carries this on for, say the next 40 years. That's one third of his waking day wasted. He'll need to gain an extra 13 years, just to make up for the time spent extending his life.
Years gained as an old person and lost as a young man.

A photo of the front cover of issue 1658 of Private Eye magazine with the caption "on shelves now." The cover headline reads "Mandelson Crisis Starmer Acts!" and shows two images of Keir Starmer waving outside Number 10. In the first, he says β€œGoodbye, Peter – we can’t have anything to do with a friend of a paedo.” In the second, he says β€œWelcome, President Trump!”

The SRU in general are a disgrace, with their attitude to womens rugby.
It is poor that the mens team have not been vocal in their support.
This team have been inspirational.
