Try cucumber and banana raita.

Sounds bizarre, but works really well.

Farage wasn’t an MP in 2017, so where is the clip from?

This description very much sums up what people who support Trump mean by "respect the office."

Willie Eckerslike has been mentioned in every episode of Coronation Street but has never been seen…

Confiscating jewellery from survivors of a war zone makes you look like a fucking Nazi. And the obscene thing is, that is the intention. It's there to look appropriately harsh. Indecent. Filthy. A moral stain. And no-one of good character would have ever proposed such a thing in the first place.

People coming here now have nothing resembling a ‘golden ticket’. They have overt hostility and - if they get to work - brazen exploitation by employers who seem to think the normal employment rights don’t need to apply to them. It’s crushingly hard. Made harder every day by rhetoric like Mahmood’s.
