No shit, Sherlock!

It smells like clickbait, and I just fell for it.

A reminder that the original Hallowe'en jack o' lanterns date back to 18th century Ireland if not earlier, were based on a shady boozy blacksmith called Stingy Jack who cheated the devil & was trapped between 2 worlds, were carved from turnips and looked like this:

Got a figure for the Lib Dems? They seem to be winning most of the by-elections that aren't going straight from Labour to RefUK.

The LibDems continue to be the Reform slayers. They don’t flirt with fascists. They don’t try to “understand” them. They quietly take them head on and defeat them.

I find the conflation of the current Israeli regime and Jewishness to be far more anti-Semitic. I never thought I'd doubt that Israel deserves to exist but they've managed to make me go there.

Is Britain a high-tax country? Even as overall taxes have risen, most have been paying less

Britain has become a country of high taxes for the few and low taxes for the many and that settlement is now breaking down. www.newstatesman.com/politics/mor...

Got an example of that?

Moseley not into Mosley.

The bill isn't strong enough. Vapes should be prescription-only devices used to help smokers get off nicotine.
