And creating tensions by bringing ‘illegals’ into communities via shit commercially moribund hotels.

Yes, Swiss scientist Fritz Zwicky coined the term “dark matter” which is impressive, but he also coined the term “spherical bastard” to describe people who are bastards no matter which way you look at them, and I think that should be celebrated more.

Elf Uhr.

Elf Uhr.

Although I appreciate your honesty, that really, really isn’t a justification for playing a part in the destruction of life in the ocean. Each and every one of us needs to significantly reduce or better still stop eating meat, fish and dairy products.

Lina Sinjab reports on the killing of journalist Amal Khalil by Israel: "the details of the attack are also quite shocking.."

Israel targeted her, attacked her, pursued her when she sought shelter, attacked her again, and stopped rescue workers reaching her.

BEST BAND!!!

Silly twat here too! Left after the ‘3rd’ just seen the full-time results. 🤯

Big Sam is already in that there london.

I did say remote! I believe it is currently a 1.1% chance.

Keeping Robbie Gibb happy may have something to do with this?

There seems to be a hysterical campaign against Starmer from within the BBC. That has been crystal clear for a long time. The usual right wing vile media are just doing their usual vileness, but I expect impartiality from the BBC. There is none now.

The guardian’s political Stenographer and failed journalist @pippacrerar.bsky.social is clearly looking to advance her ‘career’ at the beeb - lickspittles: Chris Mason and Laura Keunssberg beware!

As the only team to fail to be promoted with more than 90pts, there remains the remote possibility that we could be the first time to be relegated with 39. Tonight is going to be tough, I would be absolutely chuffed/over the moon with a goalless draw, zero injuries and no red cards.

An Invention of Collective Nouns   A reckoning of spreadsheets. A distraction of smartphones. A prattle of podcasts. A mispronunciation of scones.   A clique of photographers. A heard of precedents. An enjambment of poets. A grope of presidents.   A pile of haemorrhoids. A bunion of personal trainers. A bout of estimations. A condescension of mansplainers.   A stroke of geniuses. A spot of adolescents. An embarrassment of Richards. A collection correction of pedants. Brian Bilston

Today’s poem is called ‘An Invention of Collective Nouns’.

I had the opportunity to confront Pete Hegseth's bigoted spiritual mentor, Pastor Doug Wilson, and call him out on his history of hate, his misreading of the Bible, his hijacking of Jesus, and his cosplay Crusading.

It was worth it.

Happy Wednesday

Fractures Emerge Between GOP’s Pro-Pedophilia, Extremely Pro-Pedophilia Wings

Ta for this. The skeet I replied to inferred that mandelson and Starmer were friends, which was what I was interested in? I am well aware of mandelson and epstein’s longstanding friendship.

I’ve never been to Delaware and neither has my wife. Proof, if ever needed. I have holidayed in Tupperware though, this was both uncomfortable and mildly embarrassing.

So no facts then? Loving the insinuations & especially awed by your deep inside knowledge of what UK ambassadors get up to (other than eat chocolates), you must be a real bundle of fun when you emerge from your mum’s house once a month? Now off you tootle ‘villain trollette’.

Where exactly did you get the fact that confirmed that they’re friends? Private eye wouldn’t want to miss out. As for most ‘whatever’ job in Whitehall: a) the job is based in Washington b) the foreign secretary would be a tad concerned about their role in the hierarchy try facts instead of froth?

Northampton couple who met on bus ride double decker to wedding The pair are now married after meeting during their commute last summer.

Everything is terrible. So here is a NICE THING.

Who is this ‘friend’ you speak of? And what is the ‘most desired job in Whitehall’?

Do you put eggshells into your compost bin?
