£5 × 11,500 = Are these "expenses" in the room with you now?
"Save Are Oil!"

“There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been.The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge”
Her print journalism BA is older than that, being put to great use.
The problem is that they know that and don't care.
I think that's the plan, although there's some problems with that imo. Mainly performative, like Trump's laying on of hands.
Derbyshire Reform's decided on praying before council meetings instead.
I remember "true believer" being stated as a requirement for a Reform Border Force application. Do you get a black uniform?
I enjoyed the world of PKD much better when I didn’t live in it
What a surprise
There was no choice of contractor, unfortunately.
Also government grants to landlords with qualifying tenants for~£50k for solar, heat pumps etc. A friend's landlord qualified, mayhem for weeks, cowboy contractor signed it off themselves with outstanding snagging list, no government involvement apart from giving the money. ECO 4 scheme, I think.

Farage goon lets mask slip.
Farage goon lets mask slip.
Yeah, bar room hands
You're saying he marginalised himself?
Walking on a crude representation of your national flag doesn't seem very patriotic.
gang colors
pure Kafka
A relative's funeral but hey, a marketing opportunity, to make money from selling land stolen from people murdered by the organisation he represented. Almost a stereotype.
Bye bye BBC #Radio6 music, after another top news billing for "Wot Hawhaw* Farage Says Today", complete with elongated speech clip "blah blah invaders blah blah". *I'm not a fan of silly nicknames for politicians, but this fits him, as a traitorous mouthpiece for a hostile foreign power group.
The process of stealing land and lives; just another job. www.thenation.com/article/worl...
ah, no, they're with us on that I think, keesh, but that's reminded me of someone who used to say kwitch-ee, but I can't remember their nationality.
and his final invention always makes me laugh
But they pronounce fiche as feesh like normal people.
corn porridge? yum
I'm good at maths, phone a friend.
Butter wouldn't melt I know your sort
Yeah right
A phone on quiz night? They must trust you.
As they're endemic south of the border, I feel they maybe portrayed as some sort of commie germ warfare.
This you, councillor? www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wale...
Beige, is it?
Sad story, Big Bill's.
mishap
Late afternoon walk on the beach. Bloody great seagull that.
Lord HawHaw, Farage. I generally avoid silly derogatory nicknames for politicians, but that seems apposite.
and our MAGA franchise is doing what they're told, opposing green energy and pushing fracking. And Hawhaw's off to the States again for more instructions/arse kissing/ crypto bungs.
Ok, planning a motorbike trip on Wednesday, starting in Weymouth. Don't like riding in the rain, so taking my pick from weather forecasts. Feeling lucky today, punk?
After having a great time with a young grandson staying for two weeks earlier in the hols, I'm in hiding. Tough being a misanthrope living by a beautiful beach.
hopefully
"The institution has grown steadily less popular since the 1980s, when it enjoyed 80 % approval. Now, according to the British Social Attitudes survey, only 54 % think it important that we retain the royal family." Of that 54%, it's, unsurprisingly, mainly boomers. share.google/KvR5pAHj9vqm...
Isn't this a "thought experiment", like the guy with two Hitlers?
horseshoe capitalism.
note unbranded jeans; I'm very rich ackchewally.
Same as it ever was, men have always posed (newspeak "behaved performatively"), it's an ego function. Back pocket of jeans? Just did a test, only slim A format paperbacks (early Penguin Classics) fit mine. Off to Greggs now, wish me luck.
"White guilt", oh yeah, hear it in Britain all time.. The view/like ratio is highly suggestive of a click farm.
A galaxy brain, just like his wife.

Two to one positive for "The Royal Family in general" and people wonder at our xenophobic clowning?
Good, that was, thanks.
indeed
Or sitting on the beaches of the south coast posting 😆 emojis on hypocritical social media updates from their cheerleaders in the press?
and the Express's gross hypocrisy

“Could someone use my arguments to justify callous indifference to human suffering? Of course.” We got that straight then.
It's for Nige's helicopter
steady on
probably
Rich kid, could go far.
The byline for this 'story' is two trainee reporters, the headline probably written last week before whoever the editor is buggered off for Bank Holiday weekend. Yellow journalism at its finest.
I knew her brother Brad, met her a few times, a more unlikely pair than her and Andrew would be difficult to imagine.
You remember the Tour de Trump, with the Dutch team sponsored by a brothel? share.google/AkSiEuitjQCR...
Big strong white male boss, no hardhat.
According to the author, this is a "thought experiment".
A surrogate him, Clemens is an angry, lying, adulterous old white man.
and a free November mince pie why not
Yes, composed on a Mac, got $35k for it which he's recently said he's donating to Palestinians.
He's just saying words which sound ok to him.
This was more about public perception than figures, although you are right, of course. I found the spike in "more of" interesting from that point of view. There's been many asylum seekers before and after the Ukrainians, and "about right" flatlined, so what was different?
either/or: tough choice.
Whenever I see the words "common sense" and "voter" used together, it's odds on that it be in a reactionary context.
Both applications and enthusiasm have declined.
"He takes great pride in having no truck with tribes, but he does belong to one: like halitosis, ideology appears to be only what the other person has. Williams may think he is a freethinker above the fray, but he has a creed – and it is liberal complacency." share.google/jn5aZwEsMLSm...
The 2022 anomaly coincides with the Ukraine schemes.
And while I'm in snapping mode, the western sky at sunset.
Just checked mine, sort of in a different country, Wales not England, 200 miles away.
Agreed and, as you say, an unintended side effect of MoD control.
Yes indeed. I find myself guiltily lusting after the fisherman's cottage on the right, just before you get to Worbarrow Bay.
aka fallstreak clouds, where a plane goes through and supercools the water vapour.
Punch hole clouds, apparently. Not mine, but further along the coast today.
I was at Tyneham last week, the ownership of land by the MoD certainly has many side effects. During the 60's, campaigners for restitution of the wartime siezed land found themselves opposed by local business interests.
Nice conspiracy theory cloud formation here earlier today.
Cunningham, elected in a 35% turnout as a Tory with 1,110 votes, now national Reform mouthypiece.
old banger?
The Times gone full Fox.
"Europe's official reason for resisting air conditioning is climate change. But underneath, I sense that defense of traditional culture -- the typical barrier to adoption of foreign technologies..." according to his X account, air-conditioning is a foreign techology.
Sounds about right "Connolly said she would be meeting members of Donald Trump's administration on Saturday"
