Dear Worcester,
Just a little word of advice. If you insist on a series of complicated multi-lane one-way system connected by multiple mini-roundabouts … then paint your fucking road markings once in a while!
The current ones are either missing or faded and impossible to see on a dark rainy night.

Still trying to work out what "woke" is supposed to mean ...
... "decent", "concerned about fairness", "not being a twat" seems to be it in a nutshell. Am I wrong?

I mean with Britain in an economic hole that is the compound result of 14 years of Tory mismanagement of the economy.
Austerity, Brexit, Covid and Ukraine followed by Trump instability ... they've all conspired to fuck over our economy.
But when Labour were campaigning we knew that. Why the lies?

I just love the fact that the challenge to gender binary absolutists has people who truly believed themselves to be progressive allying themselves with actual fascists rather than be open minded.
It's clearly really complicated ... but ask yourself if being on the same side as Nigel Farage is you?

I find it so crazy that the historians looking at the ancient history of England back to the point at which it was being taken over by Angles, Saxonds and Jutes are so deaf to the huge amount of evidence of what is going on on this island from the ancient Welsh history which is the very same thing.

The difference between Christians and humanists is not that big. We all believe that what we are in our lives continues after our deaths ... but only humanists believe that is achieved entirely in your interactions during the short time you are lucky enough to be alive.
