Wow - those are quite phenomenal headlines given the details of the story.
Ahh look, he’s just a ‘nerdy’ guy. No harm done.

Superb piece by @jamesbloodworth.bsky.social in this month's @bylinetimes.bsky.social mag: "Britain's Media Has Let Nigel Farage Reshape Political Journalism - Why?" This article alone was worth my annual sub to one of the very few news outlets still doing proper journalism

Ok. They’ve pissed me off.
I’m back to tell you 3 things about ID cards:
1. Migrants ALREADY HAVE biometric ID cards & govts have been trying to digitise them for years w repeated fuckups & failures causing complete chaos - they don’t work, you do not want that system for you.

Well, that was fun. Diane Morgan's #wdytya was great and reminded of what doing your own tree can be like. Loved her 4xG (? - I lost count) grandmother's story. Reminded me of my 6xG GM's two Bastardy Orders. #ancestryhour

Hi #ancestryhour! Does anyone know about Removal Orders? Looks like my 4xGGrandparents were subject to one in 1813. They, with their kids, were moved from his birth Parish to that of his wife. Wdn't he have had a right to stay after living in the parish for at least 6 yrs and being born there?

Joseph Rexey Edwards, my 4xGGrandfather, was born in March 1767 in #Colyton, Devon. He was the son of Joan Edwards and as this #bastardyorder shows, his father was Joseph Restorrick who was ordered to pay the Parish 9 pence weekly plus a payment of 25 shillings. #genealogy #devon #ancestryhour

Speaking of the dog, I may have slipped up and introduced a term into my mother's vocabulary that I'm worried she's going to start using without fully grokking what it means and that was a fuckup on my part...
hang on, let me back up and explain.
