Don’t want to smug or anything but my child was described as an “intellectual” by her preschool carer. I’m sure didn’t mean it a good way though.

The cure for orange fever is grated unicorn horn, a sneeze from a mighty lion, mermaid scales, a bit of slime, and half a pound of cheese. Anyone tried it on him?

It’s feels like the Parliamentary Labour Party are trying to lose the next general election on purpose.

I’m agree with Diane Abbott on this. If people want to vote for Reform they will. There are no populist depths Labour can sink to that will attract a Reform voter because the idea of them being ‘left wing’ is set in their minds. So they might as well do good stuff & stop alienating the rest of us.

However the opposite seems to be happening. Labour are gradually sinking deeper into crisis as Reform-Lite...

Sometimes in this fast-moving and complex modern world, it’s hard to know what’s right and what’s wrong. But here’s a handy rule of thumb: If you are ever on one side of an issue, and Sesame Street is on the other, YOU’RE the bad guy.

OK, so, mid-90s I was working on P&G's IT helpdesk and we got an urgent call from an HR manager who needed to print something and was having a problem. By (bad) luck it was assigned to me. I rushed over, because nobody wants to piss off HR, right?

You cannot placate these people. You cannot reach an end. Round up every refugee in camps and they'll want the next cruelty. Their 'concerns' are not about society, the economy or public safety, they're an ever moving target of fear and hatred that cannot be sated, it has to be challenged.
