Extremely poor as a consultation. It begins from the position that the extension to the period required for citizenship is a given, and asks only if you believe exemptions should (continue to be) made for certain groups. Respondants should be very careful about how they reply.

Then recall that Toby Daniel Moorsom Young, Baron Young of Acton, who attended Oxford, Harvard and Cambridge, son of Michael Dunlop Young, Baron Young of Dartington, is regularly presented in the media as the voice of the disenfranchised (white) working class.

Are you suggesting he should be hit with hammers?

They kept him kinda quiet as it was embarrassing that he dropped out of Royal Marines basic training. It was also rumoured he was gay. They certainly picked the right one to push into the limelight, huh.

“Guy Incognito” scene from The Simpsons. A man who looks identical to Homer Simpson enters Moe’s Bar wearing a suit and tie, top hat, and moustache. Text reads “Andrew? Who is Andrew? My name is Prince Edward.”

RIP to this MSPs relevance and career, her member's bill was her last hurrah, she's got nothing left in the tank before her inevitable defeat in May, but we'll always have the memories

Text reads: Paedophile Doctor Who Sexually Abused 299 Patients…

Nah, I can think of at least one who would have turned up

So this is Autocorrect now? Doesn’t recognise what you’re trying to write so simply doesn’t allow you?

One of many, many acts Optimo introduced me to

Want to boost this a little as I've seen folk talking about how Anas Sarwar wants to remove trans women from women's prisons - because in his actual column he makes clear it isn't just prisons. It's everywhere.

Lololol I’d forgotten about it.

Even the non-incriminating stuff is so creepy.

Maybe sucking up to rich and powerful nonces were the Labour Party’s values all along

Scene from The Simpsons. A newspaper front page, with a depiction of Mr Burns in a dress, wearing a tiara and holding a bunch of flowers. Headline reads: “INCONTINENT OLD MAN WINS MISS TEEN AMERICA”

Interesting to see some publicans try to do something about it. Not only have I never seen a pub do anything to deter it (not even a polite sign), I have seen bar staff get snippy at customers for not joining the queue and spreading out along the bar.

I don’t think I’ve ever had a sour IPA - definitely not one that wasn’t explicitly marketed as such - and I *wish* “IPA” still meant “aggressively hopped…startlingly bitter”

I’m sure the defenders of FREE SPEECH brigade will be all over this, pt. 792

I prefer without, though it’s not about the handle per se. I don’t like the thicker glass that comes with handles, and it seems to make the beer warmer. I don’t know if that’s an illusion caused by the feel of thicker glass, or if the thicker glass actually transfers more heat into beer.

Lee Harpin, huh

“Making Labour electable again…”

It’s clear Your Party is a disaster. I worried from the start it would turn out like this, and said so. Still, the absolute *glee* it provokes in some sections of the very online left is, let’s say, unbecoming. I would have loved to have been proved wrong

Every single “gender critical” man is seeking a scapegoat for his own - and his friends’ - abusive behaviour

They’ll totally take it on board and not, say, laugh at you for ever having believed them

Anyway, I don’t think bad queuing is good. Just that, like the poor, bad bad behaviour will always be with us

nah, because it’s 20 people cluttering up the bar, and its more difficult to get them to move precisely because they do gain some selfish advantage from their behaviour

Maybe you should let them know. I’m sure it’s just passed them by. Maybe they’re too celebrating Trump’s SA‘s murders of two people, in have streets of Minneapolis, in broad daylight, and it wasn’t, right from the start, an obviously cynical ploy.

Hey, @robsterowski.bsky.social the FREE SPEECH types - WoS, J Williams of Spiked, New Statesman legacy Blairites, that racial IQ academic you had a love-in with about the evils of “diversity and inclusion” in the workplace - you spent the last 8 years sucking up to seem very quiet about this

Like, it was obviously Covid. Young people whose experience of joining queues for the bar was the only one they‘d ever known so came to see it as natural.

I find it annoying but I also found people refusing to move away from the bar after being served annoying and one largely prevents the other.
