It's a huge shock to find that wealthy, egomaniacal, tax-avoiding, Brexit-supporting Jim Ratcliffe is also a massive racist.

Reform councillor who replaced colleague who stood down over racism allegations steps down and is revealed to be facing racism allegations. I wonder what qualities they are looking for in the next candidate?

In a sensible polity Trump would be impeached and removed from office for this act alone.

Trump sought - and failed - to bring criminal charges against six members of Congress who said things that displeased him.

Charles I’s attempt to do similar with five MPs in 1642 preceded a civil war.

Your reminder that Saint Valentine was an early Christian martyr who was smothered to death in cellophane for selling overpriced flowers, chocolates, and greeting cards.

GNU Terry Pratchett.

We love this distinctly Pratchett quote, as featured in #TheLittleBookofHumanism.

'I'd rather be a rising ape than a falling angle.'

The PM of England is trying to hang onto his job- people are outraged that he had unknowingly appointed a person with a connection to Epstein. King Charles is supporting an investigation into his own brother. That how toxic Epstein is- in normal places

We here are also outraged. But Trump is not

You may not agree with Nigel Farage when he says working from home is unproductive, but you can't deny he practices what he preaches. The guy supposedly lives in Clacton and he hasn't been anywhere near there in over a year.
