I was reading some research about the impact of pub culture on the genetic make-up of the UK. Basically, centuries of getting drunk and coping off in the local has localised breeding to the level where there's a big uptick of recessive disorders in the UK due to Inn-breeding.

Every year, people mock this tree. But I love it anyway.

It reminds us that if we stand together in tough times, we can overcome anything.

lot of people seem convinced that "actually Bari Weiss is doing exactly what they want" and I'm sorry but you're just wrong on that. she was supposed to quietly shift CBS to be rightwing. instead she Streisand Effected a story they wanted to kill because she is incredibly stupid.

There’s an Arabic version of “every cloud has a silver lining” that translates to “no cows, no feeding them at dawn.” A Scots version is “today’s rain is tomorrow’s whisky.” And a Romanian phrase for looking on the bright side is un șut în fund, un pas înainte, or “a kick in the ass, a step forward”

Comparing MPs pay with Doctors.

Isn't it amazing, austerity for everyone except Billionaires and MPs.

What a coincidence.

Another relevant point, this year the NHS will spend about £7bn, 10 times the cost, renting its own buildings.

Which until the 1990's they owned.

I will just point out the Doctors have asked for a maximum of £800m, that's for 71,000 doctors who run all the hospitals.

That's 'too expensive'.

But when the Water Companies asked for £5bn, they were given it.

I spent many, many months trying to work out why and how this happened.
