For Shabana Mahmood to attack some of the most cruelly treated people in the world as having won a "golden ticket" because they manage to get to and claim asylum in Britain is unforgiveable.
A new, far right, low for which I can think of no precedent, by any UK Government.

My husband and I are unashamedly so entertained by the Secret Live Of Mormon Wives and I DON'T CARE. Sometimes you need a guilty pleasure.

Had someone tell me that if I'm so ashamed to be British, I should denounce my British citizenship and I'm like... you realise that doesn't change the fact that I was born and raised in the UK, by British parents... right??

As a British immigrant living abroad, I am watching in horror as "expats" organise a stop the boats protest in Benidorm.
This is why the rest of us get a bad name. This behaviour is why we are hated abroad.

I’m so fucking angry.
This is exactly what I’ve warned all you continual supporters of Labour about for years.
They have NOTHING for you- only threats that what follows is worse, as they appeal actively to the supporters of those evil policies.
Leave this rancid, ideologically hollowed out party.

This is the politics of blackmail. The alternative is not a Reform government. The alternative is maintaining our international commitments to being a compassionate nation

How it feels watching the second round of my husband's colleagues get significantly worse weather in Spain, after we got 25ºc plus and sunshine every damn day

I bring a kind of "the only criminals that don't deserve humane treatment are pedophiles and rapists" vibe to the function that most people don't like

A law was just passed in Iceland that I believe means that people don't have to seek consent from neighbours and building managers before owning a pet and, as comments on Facebook agree, I have never heard of a country where so many people have life threatening dog/cat allergies

So the antibiotics have helped me recover mostly and my fever is gone HOWEVER antibiotics affect how effective HRT is so the hot flushes and night sweats are, unfortunately, back

forever teetering on ledge between the kind of chronically unwell that makes you inspiring and brave and the kind of chronically unwell that makes you a burden on society that they'd rather not exist

Yknow, I love talking about Iceland and my life in Iceland on my YouTube but I'm seriously considering taking a sharp detour because I'm already starting to notice an uptick in xenophobia and I'd like to nip it in the bud before it destroys my mental health

I don't want much, but seeing the look on my NHS gynaecologist's face at everything that has transpired since I moved to Iceland (because my gynaecologist here actually listens to me) would give me such joy.
He was such an misogynistic, ableist asshole that I guarantee it would be disgust.

I've not been this sick for years and have found myself on antibiotics for the first time in a long time.
You could drop £1k on the ground in front of me and I'd just look at it. I don't have the strength or energy to pick it up

/Some/ Icelandic netizens are on a mad one because the ICESAR fundraiser keychain isn't a white person this year, but rather depicts a SE Asian man.
So in case you're wondering how a primarily white, homogeneous society copes with diversity... racism is alive and well here!

The reason that I don't have a Facebook page for my YouTube channel is that, although it would probably get decent traffic based on my YT primary demographic, the idea of having to appeal to boomers who fall for AI generated slop makes me want to gouge out my eyeballs

The funniest thing to have happened amongst Icelandic netizens recently was people from outside of Reykjavík "lighting" digital candles and sending thoughts and prayers to the people of the south during the recent snow storm
