If you have a Royal Family, you have deference.

If you have a Royal Family, you have a class system.

If you have a RF, you essentially say, "These people are better than everyone else by dint of birth & should maintain enormous influence, wealth and power."

Why would anyone want that at all?

Ferment your own. Grow your own chillies to ferment as well. You can add whatever you want into the ferment to get the taste you're after, I like to add some mango as well as the mandatory garlic and onion.
So when someone in Mexico says, "No, it's not spicy," they aren't lying.

They are just speaking their truth. They are comparing that dish to the lava flow they drank for breakfast. To them, it's genuinely mild.

Also if anyone has any leads on non-vinegar-based Brazilian hot sauces hmu (8/8).

I'm not able to reply, but my answer is also to ferment your own sauce.

The Trent is high today at Torksey. Pictures from the old railway bridge across the river. The fields are flooded behind the lower level levees and walking round you can see where it's been over, so it's currently maybe 600 mm below the peak level from earlier in the week.

It looks like the Swiss right whingers have found another way to try and stop FoM. Maybe they need to fuck up bigly and lose their place in the European economy like we did to understand that they are dependent on that economy for their prosperity.

Reading reviews of the Clio 197. Dangerous game. Great value right now and they're about as close as hot hatches get to feeling like a tarmac-spec rally car. Responsive front end, loads of grip, and those wide arches. Later ones (200 Cup etc) were even better, but a chunk more money.

Charlie takes Andy's title off him and moves him to his 'private' (no, it's ours) estate to keep things quiet and then even more shit comes out. Maybe Charlie should just kick him out and let him live on his RN pension.

No ‘reset’ or ‘tweek’ to Brexit will attract my vote.
I will only vote for a party that has a clear, detailed, time sensitive plan to join a CU, SM and eventually the EU as a whole.

Anybody that supports rejoining the EU and will turn away from demonising immigrants. asylum seekers and minorities in general would be a big improvement.

Labour is now locked into Starmer's policy agenda of brexit, social conservatism, anti-immigration, pro-Trump and anti-Palestine. They had a chance to reconsider and decided to stick with the failed status quo.

This seems like pivotal moment for Labour, a chance to change direction and win back lost voters. Labour is stuck with Starmer in charge, he's set his stall out in favour of brexit, more state control, less freedom and cosying up to dodgy regimes like the US and Israel.

Brexiters. Your worries about a European federal super-state trampling on the rights of individual states is happening now in the US. Where's your criticism of the Trumpers?

I see Starmer has even manage to fuck up the Russia Report Enquiry by specifically excluding Brexit.

He really doesn't miss an opportunity to tell pro-EU voters to f**k off, does he?

Thatchersim — still the basis of so much of our economy — worked by making us buy things we already owned, using money we borrowed from our grandkids, and then cancelling the maintenance and calling it "savings".

And now everything is broken.

The UK is losing up to £250m a day in lost tax revenue due to the economic impact of Brexit, House of Commons Library analysis for the Lib Dems suggests.

Brexit has blown a "black hole of [up to] £90 billion a year in the public finances" the party says. Even under lower estimates the hit is ~£65bn
