I follow all three of you, and learn from you regularly, as well as admire your patience with idiots in the media. However, what you are doing is valuable as well as right, and voices of sanity are needed now more than ever, so if our support can give you a bit of energy and fuel, have at it!
He needs to check the name on his office door - pretty sure it says Prime Minister of The United Kingdom ...
Because in the current climate one cannot be too careful π I will mention that the post I saw making the above assertion has now vanished, so direct support for this joker may or may not be on offer from JKR, but I will leave this two-year-old promise of general support as an indicator
It should not escape the notice of Rowling supporters that she has offered to bankroll the legal fees for the guy who was nicked while out with Poisonous Posie hassling trans kids . By "hassling", of course, I mean "threatening to stab". Still, it's all about the kids, eh?
Reform has no reason to exist anyway, as all the stuff they bang on about is made up. Starmer giving them validity by pretending that they have a point is not helpful, either to him or to anyone else.
I was in the library on Saturday as it happens ... my wife uses it far more than I do, but it is still more than relevant - we use three libraries locally, depending on where we are going on the day ...
It's going to be a long haul, I'm afraid.
Trouble is, Bond films need to be "all things to all men" so are doomed before they start - you have the book purists, and the film purists, and several different types of Bond, so everyone likes something different, it seems. It's a tricky line to walk, but I enjoyed Craig's version well enough.
Ask her how many deportations have been prevented by the ECHR since 1980 ... 13. Obviously some others will not have got that far because people knew they would fail, but in any event it's not a big number, and certainly not worth all this fuss. Lave the Deregulation Tango to the Reform idiots.
I think you're being generous, to be fair ...
Forget the "who" and stick with the "what", I think ... subhuman, at best.
You can only be consistently wrong about absolutely everything for so long before so many people have noticed that it becomes untenable. The issue is that many people don't care about right or wrong any longer.
Smart move - give them a tenner a week, and then spend several times that trying to control what they can spend it on. Idiots π
Given the fairly small geographical area, much of which will probably vanish beneath the waves anyway owing to climate change, this ought to be achievable. Apparently Abdul means "servant" or "slave", so I wonder why he chose that name ...
I actually saw it all unfolding pretty much live. We had a six-month-old at the time, and I was up in the night, and switched on to watch Postman Pat or something, and the news (and speculation) was filtering through ...
Glad to see that there isn't any impeding traffic ... π
It's impossible not to agree that there is something wrong with Trump - quite a list of shortcomings even without potential health issues, in fact. The problem is that some people don't care because breaking everything is the point. Trump can carry the can but much of the damage is done by then.
This whole summer only one story has dominated our entire politics & it comes down to literally 30,000 people in hotels. Ridiculous. The government needs to get a GRIP itβs pathetic.
Forecasts this year have been pretty unreliable to be fair - the Met Office seems to be finding it difficult to keep up with the whims of the weather!
I hope you are mistaken, but have a nasty feeling that you may not be!
It's easy to deride the far right as stupid, but the reality is that the followers are stupid while those pulling the strings are not. If Trump croaks, Vance lacks the "rizz" to step up, plus he is an easily-led conspiracist, so unreliable. They will need another useful idiot figurehead ...
Her track record would suggest that it would be extremely unlikely that she would take a view that was so evidently based on fallacy. She had been round the block too many times for that.
I haven't seen any brazen arguments in favour of migrants in any of the coverage of the appeal decision that I have so far seen - most of it seems to revolve around points of law and issues that the original judge appears to have twatted up, to use the correct legal parlance π
This is my flag.
I'm so sick of seeing Nigel Farage everywhere, I'm considering moving to Clacton on Sea so I never have to see him again.
Well, to be fair, you only have to look at him to see that he has quite a range of problems ...
Nobodyβs upset about the flags themselves. Nobody. If they were simply about pride and patriotism there wouldnβt even be a debate. Whatβs simply not British is the xenophobia, the hatred, the anger and the racism.
This is why Farage is a dribbling traitorous imbecile - clearly even he believes that he is unfit to stand in front of our flag, so he knocks up some approximation of it. The bottom half is the Flag Institute specification - spot the difference. What a patriot ...
I had a similar problem recently when I obtained a pack of corned beef containing nine slices. I am ill-equipped for this kind of crisis, and have no idea what you are supposed to do when faced with such a quandary ...
At least DeSantis would turn up pre-greased for the sauna, but the fake tan might run a bit ...
Just for the record ... it follows that someone who has rejuvenated their political career based largely on their earlier failure is unlikely to have integrity high on the list of personal attributes ... Keep the receipts, though, as the media won't help you.
If you honestly believe the Russians hit the EU delegation in Kyiv by accident, I don't think you should be allowed to operate heavy machinery and I frankly question if letting you dress and bathe yourself is a violation of our collective duty of care.
A key point is that whether they get into power or not, and whether they can make this stuff work or not, the damage is largely done. Many people already here will leave and many who may have come will not bother. Goodbye pensions and public services in a few years, never mind the social impact.
One reason that "victories" have been won by these idiots in the past is that the rest of us thought that no way could anything so absurd actually happen. There is a danger that not enough lessons have been learned from those experiences ...
Well, it would be a shame to spend a load of money on wind turbines, only to have them all keel over and disappear into gaping holes as the fracked island collapses ...
Turns out that his supposed Huguenot ancestors were a scourge, given that they brought his particular strand of DNA to this island, that much we can agree on ...
Is he even human? He's not looking much like a candidate for the master race breeding programme ...
Vance is more intelligent, but without being the intellect that some claim him to be. His problem (as his frequent step-changes show) is that he is easily led - his support of Curtis Yarvin and other conspiracists put him not far out of his basement, which is a worry ...
The only thing less edifying than this stupid woman's grifting is the fact that so many have fallen for the surrounding nonsense hook, line, and sinker ...
What are you defending against? Genetic defectives in ill-fitting shirts? Seems a highly specific demographic, but there you go ...
Flag the wrong way round, as usual - the subtle difference between a patriot and a nationalist ...
Why has she left the country in the first place? I thought that the "home of the flag" had everything that the discerning moron could possibly want - absolutely no need to leave our glittering, golden shores. Smacks of treachery to me ...
Inability to count up to big numbers - after 20 or so, it's just "lots" ... π
Yes - we need to know, so we can get some bread and toilet rolls in stock. Can't have it kicking off without notice ...
That was a fine series!
Although, unusually in this case, we could probably argue that a lot of the stuff was ours in the first place ... π
They may not "understand" it, but they know what it is, that much is for sure. Any parent with a trans child can clearly see, even in hindsight, that the gender was always there and hasn't changed - it has just stopped being suppressed.

I think the reaper will take one look, and go back home for his HazMat suit before trying anything on this one ...
Why are there so many pictures of Farage pulling absurd faces? I appreciate it is hard for him to pass as sentient, even when he's in his normal cosplay guise of a cartoon Englishman, Toad of Toad Hall style, but he does seem to be caught gurning an awful lot ...
I got Covid around the first week it turned up in 2020, not badly fortunately, but it knackered my sense of smell (which is not great in any event!) for months - first I couldn't smell anything, and then I got "phantom" smells like tobacco and burnt toast! All very weird ...
They could pick a couple of guys at random off the beach, and even if they get a couple who don't speak English, they will be more competent than any of this lot ...
When "deportable violations" include supporting the wrong political party, or being in favour of minority rights, or even owning a book with a gay character in it, this sort of thing can be a slippery slope ...
We've all been there!
Ah - sorry, can't help with that! I know the MS Office apps are slightly different - sadly the Mac versions often fall a bit short on features, so not sure what's available. The Mac OS is normally better than Windows, though, so may be something there! Best of luck ...
Open the document again in Word, but don't touch it or change anything, then try File/ Info/ Manage Document/ Recover Unsaved Documents ... see what is there.
I'm not seeing any inaccuracy beyond perhaps a bit of understatement. What's the issue? π
Last week, Boston received a letter from AG Bondi threatening to prosecute officials and withhold funds unless we cooperate with carrying out mass deportations. The US Attorney General asked for a response by today, so here it is: stop attacking our cities to hide your administrationβs failures.
I think we have to worry a lot less about what the hard-core supporters think - their faculties are quite clearly not what they should be, or they wouldn't be where they are, so to an extent we need to consider them lost to any form of reason. We can try and salvage the less radicalised, perhaps.
Weirdly, and almost vanishingly rare as an occurrence with this lot, all their arguments are either made up or (in this case) misrepresented. The rule of thumb is that the more absurd it sounds, the less likely it is to be true - not a difficult measure to apply.
What an old colleague of mine used to term "spurious accuracy" - if you say 20% people think you have just plucked a number out of the air, but 24% sounds deliberate and based on some complicated calculation ...
I discovered him via Vance a while back - our mascaraed friend is a big fan. It's astonishing how such conspiratorial twaddle can gain genuine currency in today's world. Vance is supposedly one of the brighter ones as well ...
Unless you were making a fortune off the back of it, which tells you all you need to know about a certain demographic ...
The trouble is you need to fight fire with fire, to an extent - it does expose the utter idiocy of everything that Trump writes. Of course, you can argue that it doesn't need exposing, as most of the planet can read it for what it is, but I'm torn. I take your point, but it is amusing!
Where do they get "we've won the battle" from? All they have done is make complete idiots of themselves, ruin thousands of lives, and handed women's rights to a bunch of (male) religious bigots - way to go, as they say in the paymasters' country ...
Could be an advantage - you could now visit Reform HQ if you felt so inclined ... π
Always the way - two people telling their own lies will always argue about whose lies are better ... Plus everyone who comes into contact with Farage falls out with him in the end, as he is too toxic even for fellow toxins.
They are already way more mainstream than their actual support base deserves, which is a problem in all sorts of ways. The demographic is made larger by the endless lies propagated by the media, and online, where more effort should be directed - more people need to understand that they are wrong.
Nottingham here - it was "Knock Down Ginger" in the East Midlands too, contrary to what this map says - mind you, it was the 1960s/70s, so things may have moved on!
Just a lazy excuse - the reality is that if you are claiming that people don't, or shouldn't have, the right to even exist, then you really can't complain if they get upset about that ...
I genuinely think it might be an idea for US museums and universities to get their archives and historically valuable records out of the country ...
He behaves exactly as you would expect someone whose features are contorted by internal resentment, bitterness, and bile to behave ... People can't help how they look, but he does have the ultimate "face like a smacked arse" vibe going ...
The hilarious thing is that these parodies are accidentally better written, and make significantly more sense, than Trump's originals, as it's almost impossible to tap into whatever tiny strand of neural activity produces those streams of consciousness ...
His understanding of free speech seems as sound as his understanding of many of the issues he attempts to write about ...
Yes - you can argue that there have been some questionable recipients in the past, but none of them have been literal joke candidates. They would destroy the "brand" entirely by awarding it to Trump.
Unfortunately, the party is now so degraded that sacking people is off the cards, as there would be nobody left to turn out the lights ...
To be honest, the Johnson version, even though this picture is actually something else by the same designer, I believe, is far more like a brothel (so I'm told! π) than Trump's. If you walked into a brothel looking like Trump's place, you'd be worried about being overcharged, I suspect ...
Given that her entire opposition, and much of her own party, promote policies that are shored up entirely by fallacy and misrepresentation, would seem to suggest that correcting misconceptions was quite an Important Thing ...
To be fair, Epstein's is considerably more tasteful ... as with everything else in his life, Trump so badly wants to be like the "real thing" - real rich people, real classy people, real clever people, real crooks, whatever - but he just can't cut it.
It's so obviously just adhesive backed crap - none of it lines up properly at corners, roundels don't fit panels, etc. He's just sent someone off to a DIY chain to buy pre-pressed MDF tack, and some gold paint. Beyond appalling ... so embarrassing for the country.
They appear to be increasing claims processed, and reducing the backlog, so in the end less accommodation is required - that is what she should be pointing out. Money is far better spent on doing stuff than on housing people while you do nothing, which was the Tory policy as it suited their cause.
Wow - that takes some dedication to the art of being a complete arse ... on the part of both stepfather and son!
They spelled "faeces" incorrectly ... π
Well, the process does slow down a bit throughout our lives, so perhaps you are guilty of a very slight exaggeration ... π
Unfortunately, leaving aside anything trans-related, the inclusion of Boyne on any form of literary merit ticket doesn't exactly do them any favours ...
βI had a good run,β the former governor said.
I think we underestimate the risk at our peril. Yes - a lot of it is media/personality-driven, but there is an underbelly of genuine resentment at the way the world has gone for a lot of people. Of course, the causes are not those that they think they are, but that doesn't always matter.
Robert Jenrick, the Tory Shadow Justice Secretary and former Home Office Minister, joining protesters outside an asylum hotel is one of the most disgusting acts by a frontline British politician in living memory.
I'm not sure many of them have been to London anyway ...
Although, to be fair, he and his mates are going to be pretty reliable when it comes to recognising backward behaviour ...
I don't wish ill on anyone, even an idiot, but it's tempting to think that his exposure to mould is the result of all the recycled and half-received ideas he peddles, all of which are pretty rank by now ...
Standard practice with this crowd to blame everyone else for their own stupidity ... they genuinely don't see the logical contradiction in this position.
Of course, and we have long been at the point where you have to assume that anyone with enough intelligence to make a load of money is funding this for personal gain, as they can't possibly be stupid enough to believe it, but it's the rest that I worry about.
wow, all it took was one week of restricted access to porn.
It would be funny if it wasn't so serious ... you wonder the extent to which this is just performative, or whether they genuinely think that they have a point.
Trump's faith in his own abilities is almost endearing - it's as if he genuinely thinks that he has some kind of edge against Putin, as opposed to being equipped with the political and negotiating nous of a haddock. I hope Putin can keep a straight face ...
I have only read one and a bit of his books, but that was more than enough to persuade me that he shouldn't be near any fiction prize, regardless of LGBTQ+ issues. Poorly researched, superficial, obvious, and really just not very good.
Well, she'll know a thing or two about people who are threats to women then ...
Astonishing that a supposed serious political party should just parrot some twaddle from a brainless rag like the Fail - we all know that Badenoch is out of her depth in steam, but she seems to find ever more inventive ways of trashing the party. Proper Tories must be in despair ...
