Racist bitch is screeching about child safety when she's off her tits with a drink in hand on national tv, abusing a man who's done nothing to her in front of the kids. That's the real face of Reform.

The only time I've had any interaction with an England flag, btw, was the World Cup in '98. Some twat chucked his pint up when England scored. It hit the ceiling & then started dripping down...including down the back of my neck. A kind lad gave me the flag to tuck round my neck to stay dry

Weekend reading! Enjoying my reread of Disco for the Departed by Colin Cotterill at the moment. Then it's short story Nugget's Tenth Life by Adam Holcombe, followed by Molly Molloy and the Angel of Death by Maria Vale, which both look fun #booksky #weekendreading #amreading

image Synopsis to Disco for the Departed by Colin Cotterill: Dr. Siri Paiboun, reluctant national coroner of the People’s Democratic Republic of Laos, is summoned to a remote location in the mountains of Huaphan Province, where for years the leaders of the current government had hidden out in caves, waiting to assume power. Now, as a major celebration of the new regime is scheduled to take place, an arm is found protruding from the concrete walk that had been laid from the President’s former cave hideout to his new house beneath the cliffs. Dr. Siri is ordered to supervise the disinterment of the body attached to the arm, identify the corpse and discover how he died. The autopsy provides some surprises but it is his gift as a shaman that enables the seventy-two-year old doctor to discover why the victim was buried alive and, eventually, the identity of his killer. image Synopsis to Molly Molloy and the Angel of Death by Maria Vale: Death needs a do-over. Azrael---grim reaper and devourer of worlds--has messed up. Instead of taking Molly Molloy's soul, he patted her on the back and saved her from choking on an atomic chicken wing. Now she can see him. Talk to him. Touch him. Say ‘no’ to him. And make him question the assumptions he has held for an eternity. Molly is sick of Death capsizing her life. He'd taken her parents, then her grandparents, then her first great love. Now, just as she was on the verge of getting her life together with a job that paid enough and a NYC apartment that didn't cost too much, Death interferes again in ways she could never have imagined. The Powers that Be want Azrael to fix his mistake but before he can, Death makes one more. He falls in love.

When I, a priest, offer prayers in the wake of a shooting, part of what I am praying for is policy action by the people who are abdicating their responsibility by offering “thoughts and prayers”
