Labour is now undeniably, and deliberately, stoking division, hate and racial tensions. Absolutely any attacks can be laid at this government's door at this point. They have decided to incite the far right instead of combatting it, and there is no defence for that in any realm of reality.

I've never been to The Ivy. I will never go to The Ivy. It seems they've written to all suppliers to say they'll be applying a mandatory discount of 2.5% to all invoices they receive due "increased cost of trading". Yet another reason not to give this UK chain support. So many better alternatives.

If you need to discipline your child by beating them, a smaller, weaker human who has grown up with *you* setting an example for their behaviour, who has relied on you for every aspect of their life, then you are a complete and utter failure as a father and a shit metaphor for leadership.

Anyway this is to confirm that our suspicions about D & R were definitely confirmed for us on Sunday evening both by Julie & the waiter. So naturally I just had to let you know. I gather that D does all the flowers & makes all the cushions. Also that the vicar's dog collar was found in D's bed.
