I fear a CU could take years to negotiate and you can just imagine the hysteria if UKG actually began talks.

Vintage black and white photo of two children, labeled 'Pauline' and 'Maurice,' smiling and embracing each other.

4 February 1941 | French Jewish girl, Pauline Pelcman, was born in Paris.

She was deported to #Auschwitz from Drancy on 10 February 1944. She was murdered in a gas chamber after arrival selection with her older brother Maurice.

Yet another reason to replace the HoL with en elected chamber.

Unless the UK applies to join a CU, this is just talk, not progress.

Visto #ValorSentimental. El metacine no es lo mío pero las interpretaciones me han encantado. youtu.be/Wih_tImqX08?...

Thank you @renatekappes.bsky.social, I did see that and furthermore Spain has just announced it will ban under-16s from social networks.

You can't turn a sow's ear into a silk purse.

And the hits keep on charting.

I remember an episode of "On The Buses" where they used bus seat covers at home.

Z Cars!

It's hard not to pity Ghislaine Maxwell This week, I’m having puppies! First litter! The Johnsons were not doggy as we always moved around too much (my late mother claims it was 32 times in 17 years), but once you have a dog, life seems bor...

The Spectator still has an article entitled "It's hard not to pity Ghislaine Maxwell" by Rachel Johnson on its website: spectator.com/article/it-s...

Errr, wasn't it the German car industry that was going to save the UK from Brexit?

It was also a humilliating way to treat an ally.

I'll never forget reporting on a state visit by Bill Clinton to Lisbon, where the U.S. security agencies simply took over and completely left out the local police. IMHO, they exceeded their authority.

Cartoon: no lineups for Melania compared to a huge lineup for root canals.

Globe and Mail cartoon

Saw it on the big screen in Buenos Aires, in 1987. I assume/hope it wasn't censored.

I mean he writes for The S*n, FFS. Never forget, never forgive. #JFT97.

A mugshot registration photograph from Auschwitz. A girl wearing a striped uniform photographed in three positions (profile and front with a bare head and a photo with a slightly turned head with a headscarf on). The prisoner number is visible on a marking board on the left.

1 February 1928 | A Polish girl, Maria Matlak, was born in Łodygowice.

In #Auschwitz from 2 April 1943.
No. 39847
She was transferred to the camp for Polish minors in Litzmannstadt. She was liberated there on 19 January 1945.

And as @nialloconghaile.bsky.social points out, the UK expects it to be on the house, to boot.

Again, the assumption that the UK can get whatever it wants just for asking while offering nothing in return.

Via Laietana, Barcelona, probably the summer 1936, judging from the clothes. Via Gabriela Cladera on FB.

I think you hit the nail on the head, Olaf, because it speaks volumes that the USA's most concerted research effort -- and probably the biggest in history -- brought us Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and has threatened us with extinction ever since.

Pleasantly surprised Clarkson doesn't back Farage.

Nada mejor que un pisto manchego para aguantar la borrasca Kristin.
Veggie stew from the land of Don Quixote, just the job for fending off storm Kristin.

Georges Clémenceau put it well after the Versailles Conference: "America is the only nation in history which miraculously has gone directly from barbarism to degeneration without the usual interval of civilisation."

We're getting there. IMHO the challenge now is not to let them take us with them as they finally sink.

The discrepancy between what good the USA with its power and wealth, and with all the brilliant talent in excellent universities, could be to humanity,
And the aggressive shit it is,
Is disheartening to all.of the world.
How shall we, the poorer, achieve what the Gringos waste away in ignorance.
