Still using gifted copies of The Star to line the Guinea-pig run.
I continue to be just generally amused by the basic 'lads lads lads' vibe running through it.
"Boss, Jilly Cooper's died.

All that being what it may be, my point was not about motivations or mental state of attackers, but double standards.

I read the post in the screenshot on its own & was really confused about how it sounded like a good thing, but they were referencing The Handmaid's Tale so surely must be sarcastic, but I didn't understand why.

The plot next to our garden is overgrown. Owner unknown (I haven't got round to checking).
Neighbour used to wang empty wine bottles in there (before they died, that is).
Anyway.... we have grapes growing over our fence.
We live in West Yorkshire & have wild growing grapes.

I did notice that I'd left this in the blazer when I'd put it on, though not necessarily twigged it's Yorkshire Day tomorrow.

Depends on if it encourages political parties to improve their offering for younger people, not because the 16s & 17s could swing it, but because improved policies for young people might also increase turnout in the 18-24 demographic possibly with a 10%+ spike as in 2017.
