Polish expat, in the UK more than half my life (OMG). Wales is home now. Found my little place. Views my own, no matter what the million sheep across the road say (no, really, there are millions of them out there!). OK, the dog may have the odd view…

One could try to ask why rolling back tariffs will lower prices when people were told weeks ago that it’s the importing countries that pay all the trillions in tariffs to the US.
But I’m not sure anyone in the MAGA camp would respond to logic and sensible enquiries.
Is dialogue still possible?

I was thinking the same. I think so much reading about so much stupid is making me feel more stupid…

WeRateDogs turns 10 years old today! A very silly idea to numerically objectify dogs has become one of the kindest and most powerful online communities ever. Thank you for joining us over the last decade. I never knew what this could be until you all showed me. Here's to many more good dogs ❤️

I hope he used BluTack instead of Superglue. Superglue will be a big job to get rid of.

Aside from the cruelty of this, I’d just like to know why it’s ok to ignore and disappoint liberal/progressive voters.
Why do governments chase Farage and his voters, thinking that will neutralise them. It’s NEVER worked. He’s leading in the polls and his ideas have ruined us. WTF are you doing?

Without asylum:

Marks and Spencer wouldn't exist

Queen would have been without a front man

The other queen wouldn't have had a husband

Judith Kerr would never have written The Tiger Who Came to Tea

And thousands of less famous people wouldn't have been teachers, politicians, neighbours, etc

How many idiots are going to believe they’re talking with actual Jesus? Has the world always been so stupid or is this a new thing?

Right. I see I have to buy a bottle to prove to you how wrong you are. I was hoping to avoid it but if extreme measures are needed, extreme measures it is.
Do you think one bottle will be enough or do I need to buy more?

Barely legal is someone who just came of age. So, way past 15. This is a ghoulish thing to say about 15 year old girls forced to sleep with MUCH OLDER men.
How can this person - apparently a mother of teenage girls - say crap like that for everyone to hear? Makes my skin crawl.

Yesterday in Parliament I said that the government should leave X.

🔉What dangers does X pose to our democracy? And should the government stop using it?

Good to hear yesterday from @sundersays.bsky.social and @petergeoghegan.bsky.social on the immense risk of X as it ignores legal obligations and its owner tries to influence UK politics.

I shudder to think what Reform would be like in actual government of the actual country.
Though, perhaps my ILR would be quite safe purely due to incompetence and fecklessness.

Because time goes a breakneck speed, because there are always too many other things to do.
We will, though, I’m sure. We used our membership a lot when we lived in Oxfordshire.
We’re in rural mid Wales, so more hills and sheep than NT places.

Hollywood films have been lying insofar as the US being the saviour and bastion of democracy. I’m even worrying about James Bond a bit now.
It’ll have to be someone unexpected, I think.
Funnily enough, I can’t think of any non-American superheroes… We’ve been brainwashed.

Same here. We’ve not visited NT since we moved to Wales. 5 years ago. And Covid before then.

Whenever we’re somewhere with a pier, I shove my kids in front of those machines that sweep 10p coins seductively towards you. I don’t know why we’re not rich yet, to be honest. I might write to Nige and ask him.
