"If I have misspoken or used those words, I would certainly apologise.”
‘If’? He knows exactly what he said. I’m tired of living through these ‘interesting times’. I don’t want my adult children growing up in these 'interesting times'. This cunt worries me sick. USA this is on you

Literally only yesterday I was thinking of the time you asked me if I’d rather play for England or shag Miss World. At 13 years old my answer was obvious , but it only occurred to me yesterday that if I’d played for England these days I would have been spoilt for admirers.

That was EXACTLY my memory as soon as it was announced Luke. Bloody hell. Knocked his glasses off. Bloke was talking to his mate at the side of him. Caught him absolutely 100% plumb on the side of his noggin. Chivers was unmoved. 😊

9 years old, garden cane held like a long lance, but attached to bike, down a short 45deg incline, lance hits concrete, snaps, bike and me somersault. The gouge in my shin is still visible and was mistaken by a doctor once for a bullet wound. I'm now 68

The idea of “imported” violence against women and girls is a deeply comforting fiction - one that allows people to avoid looking at where it actually happens: within our homes and behind closed doors.
The Violence Isn’t Imported. It’s Domestic.
Kemi Badenoch’s attempt to blame violence against women on migrants doesn’t just collapse under scrutiny - it actively distracts us from where the harm really happens, and who is actually responsible.

It’s exactly this kind of dismal, prejudiced bollox from the Daily Mail that’s got us into the ruinous Brexit mess we’re in. What a moronic response to us rejoining Erasmus and all the benefits that brings. If they’re really worried about cost, they should push to cancel Brexit altogether.
