I grew up in the 70s and 80s.

If you weren't there, just a little clarification on that Spectator piece.

Literally, NOBODY admired Hitler. Apart from nazis.

Hope that helps.

#EV fact of the day.

You can do other things while charging,
you do not have to stand there holding a plug.

If you're worried about your own family and you think Farage is the answer then there is no hope for you.

Here is Pete Hegseth, on several occasions in 2016, lauding the military "ethos" that means they will refuse to follow unlawful orders - which he reckons is treason, now that they are his orders - because "there have to be consequences for abject war crimes".

Deserves to go viral.

This story more than any other disgusts me.

Yinka was a little 9 year old boy

Farage was a swaggering bully aged 17

We all knew those bullies at school and in this case teenager Farage was a racist bully too

Being a British parent is so weird bc you're actually worried about paying the sky high rent/mortgage & getting GP appointments but the entire press keeps telling you you're worried there's a trans person or immigrant nearby & the vat on Eton means there'll only be two skiing holidays this year

Good to know that as an architect with a masters degree working in a practice that specialises social housing I’m considered a ‘taker’ because I don’t earn above £50k… but It’s ok, we don’t have a housing crisis or anything. Why do I bother paying so much £££ in visa fees to be treated like this.

Over prepared? But for what? Certainly wasn't for facing left arm swing bowling at 140 kmh+. Or military medium swing bowling for that matter.

How can Liz Truss be explained? She is arse-clenchingly bad. Who encountered her and thought 'she needs promoting?' Did she just Dunning-Kruger her way to the top?

She's accusing Kier Starmer of being a charisma free zone? Extraordinary lack of self-awareness.

What a superb description.

And what the hell was she up to while their deal was being sullied over the last 15 years?

I genuinely think she is unwell.

All of this stuff is in the Crick biography and has been reported much longer than that. Farage's career should never have progressed out of the gutter

Kruschev?

Hi @sturdyalex.bsky.social I just listened to the latest (excellent) Quiet Riot podcast and heard you pleading with the government to put down the Ming Vase. I wondered if you had seen this (also excellent) blog post?

Finally someone says it.

Farage has now boycotted the BBC - THREE times - in a little over a year...

Including his latest today.

Why, therefore, is Zia Yusuf on ##bbcqt tonight?

Farage has been dismissing evidence of Russian ties to the Salisbury Novichok attack since 2018 🧐

Breaking: it turns out that I’ve been pronouncing “synecdoche” wrong for most of my adult life, or at least I would have done had I ever *said* it rather than merely thinking it – although to be honest I’ve rarely thought it either. Anyway, I would have got away with it but I thought I’d come clean

It’s not. You can go on with your love affair. It’s what we say to small ones. 🥳🙋🏻‍♀️

Apologies, your post reads as if butter prices shouldn't vary, rather than that they are your index.

I would imagine that energy prices have a significant impact (milking, refrigeration and transport).

I'm not sure why you think the input costs for milk aren't affected by things like energy and soya costs.

Nigel Farage was a racist bully at school but Rachel Reeves won the wrong chess championship so who can say who is worse?

if you genuinely want to argue that the Equality Act, when introduced, intended to make unlawful an approach to trans inclusion that has existed *since the 1970s*, I absolutely cannot take you seriously

Like, for example, what does the US Department of Defense use as a literal example of a "clearly illegal order?"

Why, it's firing upon shipwrecked sailors! JFC
