Arsenal fan, south Londoner. I really don’t like Thatcher, still. Machine gun socialist. I demand champagne. The profile is me and my good chums the Ambiguous Dance Company. Larger picture is what socialism gets you.

As if communist countries have some monopoly on corruption. The US is and always has been a cesspit of corruption. That’s the nature of capitalism.
I hope when this time has passed these ICE officers will be unable to live a normal life. They should be treated as collaborators.

The big tins were hugely expensive in the seventies. It was a big deal when you bought one. Now they’re cheap but smaller, families are smaller, habits change. I agree this is a poor example

I remember when a whale swam up the Thames to London and died there assured a few days of suffering. It was traumatic. People were distressed. They so wanted the whale to survive. This is moving:

I worked in Currys then. The prices for white and brown goods have hardly changed. A good tv and a good washing machine are still the same price roughly. We’d have so much spare cash if we didn’t have to spend the majority on housing costs. All inflation is on housing. It’ll pop one day.

They seem to cover all bases of what you want in a tasty mouthful. Would be my dessert island food as long as it wasn’t cash and carry meat. What a great Saturday teatime treat you’ve laid on.
