Fair point. Always good to have clear transparent communications.

Possibly a response to the scraping of data by AI bots, which are overloading online archives.

Zuck's whole crew look like they just threw those human suits on for the picture.
...and they're itchy.

Breaks my heart to think that Tommy Cooper never got to use a Dyson Airblade.

Heroism, horror and the ‘pits of hell’: inside the last days of El Fasher Over two days in October 2025, up to 10,000 people are believed to have been massacred; a further 40,000 civillians from the Sudanese city are still unaccounted for. This is the story of what happened

Extraordinarily powerful report. A reminder that our “allies” the UAE have been the central element in support of a genocidal war in Sudan.

Can imagine greetings card companies & others who rely on mailshots for advertising, etc to get rather pissed off too.

I'll put a fiver on 'all buggered (but some fucked) for a few years, then maybe gradually ok-ish'.

So many people are working long hours or several jobs as the Fagash Führer finally admits he spends more time in the pub than doing the work of an MP for which we pay him.
Thank heavens ReformUK are falling in the polls as more and more people realise Mr Farage is taking the piss.

That's 3 weeks! Even worse than mine!

What with the way Royal Mail ignore requests to deliver parcels here and now this, they really are shit.

My Lizzy? Thin.

Which is why privatising it was a fundamentally dumb idea in the first place!

It's rubbish, isn't it?

I mean, what's the point of buying first-class stamps any more?

Yup... 😕

Luckily that's not the case, but it's happened to others around the area.

Really not good (as you can imagine!).

I knew Royal Mail in Southend-on-Sea was in a bad way. I'd heard that they are prioritising parcels & that letters are only being delivered every 2 weeks.

So imagine my complete lack of surprise when 2 letters from the hospital turned up today, 2 weeks after they were posted on March 11th & 12th.

Trump just voted by a method he calls ‘mail-in cheating’ The president’s decision to vote by mail comes as he pushes a sweeping bill to reform balloting nationwide, including restrictions on mail-in voting.

President Trump, who is in the midst of pressuring senators to curb the use of mail-in voting, voted by mail ballot in Tuesday’s special election in Palm Beach County, Florida.

Ana Navarro didn’t hold back, calling it disgraceful for a president, in the middle of a war, to attack a decorated veteran while having dodged service himself. She framed it as a pattern of cruelty, unchecked impulses, and reckless rhetoric.

In which case, we can add a charge of hypocrisy to the list.

Anyone disparaging bilingualism is either an idiot or is being duplicitous because they have an agenda.

In Goodwin's case, I'm undecided.

Someone tell Jenrick it’s “Hash Wednesday”

First images from those meetings

"What's your favourite book of the Bible, Robert?"

"Tough one. I think I'd have to say The Best of the Bible"

Robert Jenrick is such a shameless little weasel that he should be on a banknote.

The lunatic quality of these proposals is persistently underestimated. They are far, far worse than people recognise.

‘This country has been our home’: US family in UK threatened with detention over visa mix-up Tim and Christen Bass are barred from working and facing homelessness after indefinite leave application rejected by Home Office

And yet another example of the Home Office’s ingrained lack of common sense. Now imagine how many of these stories there are going to be *daily* if the proposed ILR policies go through.

NCP: Where did it all go wrong for the car park operator? How could a company that charged as much as £65 for a day's parking fail to turn a profit?

Hmm, no mention of 'Diabolical Customer Service".

How odd.

When Trump dies and people celebrate that fact, show this to anyone who complains.
