The answer depends on whether I want one delicious meal now or a nutritious diet for the next few years. For now, I'll have the cheese sandwich and see how things play out.

A lot of people desperate for progressive political change and disappointed by Starmer's Labour have invested a lot of hope and, frankly, faith in Polanski. Not just in the Green party. Hope and trust invested in someone barely tested in *national* politics.

Hmmmm.... I'm remembering when the Green Party made a thing of 'policies, not personalities'. A newly-minted leader gets the media invites at first, of course, hence waiting to see what happens as the shines comes off. Give it a year. 🙂

With all due respect to the guy, he's not even an MP, let alone the Messiah! Yet that's how he's treated. Much as I wish the Greens well, I'll suspend judgement on Polanski for at least a year.

I picked a few more ripe chilis today (in November?!). Probably the last ones of the year.

Also, from personal experience, do not travel with a clockwork alarm clock in cabin baggage. It looks very dodgy on x-ray.

Trump selling papal indulgences? Where's Martin Luther when you need him?

More likely 'Acting DG' while Davie's replacement is argued over, arguments so protracted and divisive that Gibb gets the DG job as the least inconceivably appalling option.

If the BBC is guilty of anything it has been far too ready and willing to follow the right-wing media narratives pushed by the billionaire press barons, instead of pursuing its own independent journalism based on exposing and uncovering the truth – regardless of whether people want to hear it.
