Trump: "I dropped ties with Epstein before it was fashionable".

Me: That tells me that he was in it from the beginning, how fashionable?

A quick google informs me that after this surge, Australia provides about 4% of our beef imports, and our beef imports are about 25% of our consumption. So this headline is basically saying “anger as 0.6% becomes 1% of total” and I’m not sure that’s particularly justifiable

This has interesting comments about the actual physics and what the police probably tested and then misunderstood
It has the “capability of reaching 103.8MPH” said police.

What they didn’t say was that the speed is reached only in a vacuum above Jupiter.

“This attack on the trail hunting is an attack on the countryside!”

“But polls show over 70% of people in rural areas oppose trail hunting”

“That’ll be all the incomers. They’re not really country people”

I think I’ve heard this argument elsewhere…

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

Very Starmer to scrap Right to Roam and replace it with riverside signage and telling people to go for walks.
Hmm,

"No footpath would be created as part of the “new” river walk, government sources confirmed..."

Who in their right minds sings the national anthem at Christmas? It's weird enough the rest of the time, but for Christmas?

Also where is the flag? Why is the flag?

Also why is there a wink emoji?

12YO girl signed up to do “stand up comedy” at the talent show. 13YO boy decided to heckle her. Teacher started to tell the boy to leave her alone, but the 12YO comedian said “no, no, let him go, this is the closest he’s ever going to get to having a conversation with a girl.”

He no longer can even remember that he just posted one of these, and with most staff with families today, nobody is managing to distract him by talking about his ballroom.

Further confirmation that anyone who seriously called themselves as an influencer is actually a useless dickhead.
Didn't check the forecast, ignored thr changing weather and got caught out. Which then put a resuce team at risk. I hope they made a large donation to the MR team.

The Guardian's true colours on display. Happy to platform the Green leader, as abstract 'hope' in October. But the moment his politics threaten the neoliberal centre, the knives come out in December.
It's not journalism; it's policing the left for Starmer.

The Guardian accused me of hubris because I dared post at 3pm.

The Calais Appeal donations are shooting up.

Maybe the King might like to donate too? Or maybe the Government could actually implement a fair & managed migration system?

A Christmas miracle!

George Michael died on Christmas Day in 2016.
He will be remembered for his incredible songwriting talent, his gorgeous vocals and for the greatest non-apology video of all time, following his arrest for cottaging.
