Happy Days

Excellent observation

USA Photo of the year

BA are also going to be offering starlink WiFi on their planes next year so F them too.

And the US, completely a coincidence of course, declares war on Norway

What has Yvette Cooper’s proscription of Palestine Action done to this country?

Beyond absurd. It’s extreme authoritarianism. These police should be arresting rapists & crooks, not neglecting those duties to spend time arresting citizens standing against genocide.

It undermines police and the law.

Yup. Was watching. Disgusting

I understand about Project 2025 and everything but most days it also feels like I'm back on the schoolyard watching the bullies picking on the weird kids. Like sometimes there really isn't any logic deeper than that.

You nailed it. I wonder if anyone has ever done a study to look at the correlation between children that bully and far-right tendencies later in life

I hope they put it on the side of a bus.

Also, IMO, Ed needs to stop acting the fool otherwise nobody will take him seriously.

Approx 80 emails a day sounds about right for middle management or above type roles. Surely she’s not work shy or something?

Squirrel at bird feeder

Yep, every day is a regular smorgasbord!

What we are witnessing is an outright abuse of power.

This administration is attacking critics and using fear as a weapon to silence anyone who would speak out. Media corporations — from television networks to newspapers — are capitulating to these threats.

Now that might tempt me out of retirement!

Far-right is a relative term. Just-a-tad-more-right-than-kemi would be more apt.

I’ll probably do the same. It’s pretty time consuming but needs to be done.

Not ashamed to say I usually shed a few tears when going through them.

So true. Always good to ask yourself that about your kids. Also if the path that they are taking leads to future happiness or not.

Photo albums spanning generations! I still have a large cupboard full which we need to massively reduce. What do you do with them?

MEng surely. (They earn money 😂)

Either way. Totally cringe.

Brexit is the toxic epicentre of the political shitshow we now have to endure. It promoted idiocy and deceit, endorsed racism, divided us, made us poorer, weaker, less safe and less sane. It’s belittled the country, killed the Tory party and given birth to Reform.
A relentless klaxon of failure.

Also useful for hiding your phone when anyone come in the room 😁

Very cool. Might give that a go. Any tips?

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion, after getting $1.2 trillion richer over the past year alone.

Meanwhile, the rest of the country is getting squeezed by tariffs and high prices for groceries, utilities, and health care.

The system is broken.

Looked at my data collections for state-backed activity. If the report were a picture:

Thousands gather for 'Unite the Kingdom' rally and counter protest

you probably should mention it’s a far-right rally in the headline

Spain imposes total arms embargo on Israel to stop ‘genocide in Gaza’ Socialist PM Pedro Sanchez announces nine measures that need to be approved by the cabinet then ratified by parliament.

"SPAIN WILL NOT PARTICIPATE IN EUROVISION 2026 IF ISRAEL REMAINS ON THE LIST OF PARTICIPATING COUNTRIES"

"Revealed: organiser of campaign to fly Union Jacks and England flags on Britain's streets was previously jailed over a plot to smuggle illegal immigrants into the country"

But of course. Anyone surprised? Anyone at all?

And highlighted by the Daily Mail too...

Ouch. I get days like that. Migraines can be horrible- especially when they are relentless.

Maybe under “bad” advice but clearly she would have known it was potentially wrong. So fully agreed
