ICE killed a guy in front of his 3 year old daughter then handcuffed him. He was either gravely wounded or already dead. He was unresponsive. Not going to put pics here but it’s despicable

Can you (or some of you) please send me positive vibes? I am working on three huge pieces of work simultaneously all for next week. Thank you. I am not an accountant but I always end up being asked to correct financial stuff. My fear is to ruffle their feathers. Positive vibes only please. 🙏

Nostragiada sadly predicts Nigel Farage to be elected in Clacton. Sorry.

Re Ann Widdecombe: If the police says “we have no information on the attacker”…right wing media think it’s terrorism They said “so far it doesn’t look like terrorism”, then “the anti-terrorism unit is investigating”…right wing media think it’s terrorism. Damned if you do, damned if you don’t.

An analysis for tonight: England football fans, your team won 15 of their last 16 competitive matches under Tuchel (no friendlies included), Norway 14 out of 16 BUT their defence isn’t great. Only stating facts, I’m Italian and have zero interest in other teams. I just wish you all good luck.

Nostragiada and the Clacton By-Election. Not a full prediction but: 1) Low turnout, even for a by-election 2) Only the ones who truly like or dislike Farage will go out and vote. 3) Higher number of spoiled ballots than usual I can’t predict who’s going to win yet. Watch this space.

Ann Widdecombe. If she had died of natural causes I’d have thought “ok” and would have moved on. For murder, I’m a true crime fan but I’m sad to hear an innocent woman was killed, no matter the ideas. BUT my fear of exploitation by Farage is high. May the perpetrator not be a lefty or of colour.

And this is Chris Mason. Quite objective this time.

The Times is against Farage. This is their headline

A new colleague just joined us to lead a prestigious project. Attended the same school as Kate Middleton. A rabbit in the headlights. No idea what to do, leaning on me for anything and said “I don’t know how to do” about 10 times today. The parents have chucked 150k fees in the bin.

Tell me of a piece of work you were given that, from the outset, is clearly useless and time consuming. It needs to be office work. I’ll start: a report on the feasibility of offshoring some teams and where, with attached business case, when we know we’re not going to do it. But “just in case”.

May Labour and LibDems not promote their candidate in the Clacton By Election. We need a Green here. Seriously, the most lefty of the left, to beat Farage.

Nostragiada…was right…about 80%

Here is the actual content of Farage’s speech at 2 pm as predicted by Nostragiada

Here is the actual content of Farage’s speech at 2 pm as predicted by Nostragiada

I don’t know what Farage will say at 2pm but I predict: - “I withdraw from party leadership, and will become chairman” - “Stop attacking my family” [this will not be said] “I’ll move the puppets from behind the scenes without scrutiny, because I can’t take it - the new leader will be a puppet”

Oh god. Please sing the first verses of Wonderwall before the chorus thinking of Farage. It works a treat and it’s just so funny 🤣

I was given a staff list for a French company (work related), they translated in English for us. There are an incredible amount of personal details like “married” or “sickness” that I really didn’t need, but the cherry on top is a list with “FIRED!” as a title. Something got lost in translation…

I love seeing Nigel Farage come under coordinated attack on multiple fronts More of this please!

Just wanted to add - for the Taylor Swift haters - that her millions of fans are now donating money themselves to charity. Keep spreading hate on her charitable donations and you will just get more people donating to charity. Thank you for your service.

I am particularly pleased with my reply to this post

In the sewing community, you want to watch the silent videos that show you exactly how to sew clothes, and not the ones with tutorials where they talk loads, show you half of a project then direct you to their sponsor to buy expensive materials. We need less talking and selling ⬇️ and more sewing! ⬆️

It’s interesting how Rhianna is a billionaire but nobody hates her or questions if her donations to charity are tax write offs or are too little in proportion to her net worth.

My post about Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce donations went “viral” Lots of lovers and haters in equal part. But this is the best comment.

One thing for Taylor Swift’s haters. Her and Travis Kelce have donated 26 million dollars to charity ahead of their wedding. It’s multiple charities, mostly based in New York (but not only). Food banks, animal shelters, education and literacy, children’s hospitals, community support.

This is Taylor Swift’s wedding weekend. I was thinking of those girls who bullied her in high school, who went to the mall without her and mocked her because she liked country music. They would sell their mothers to be at that event now. But they aren’t invited. Karma is a bi*ch.

Niche post: as long as womens fashion tastemakers (photographers, editors, journalists, CEOs) continue to be mostly men, the word “genius” will keep being applied to male designers. Not to female designers. Also there aren’t many of them.

@shafiq.shaf.com long time so speak! I invested in the (Almost Daily) Dividend Pie on Trading 212. What do you think of that pie? Also, I can’t find monthly/annual performance other than the 5 year average…

Overheard on the tube this am: “My children are no longer picky eaters. Now if they don’t eat I tell them to leave the food aside, but don’t prepare them anything else. They were skipping meals for weeks, but now they eat everything.” I have no children but it seems strange.

Listening to a murder case on YouTube. “Her family described her as the classic it girl, attractive and sporty. She had a baby with her boyfriend, When they broke up, she moved in with a guy who hit her and took drugs. So she left him and moved in with another one, who killed her” Classic it girl.

I have made a song on Suno (AI app, the lyrics are mine). If I share it on here can people listen to it and give me their opinion?

In case you were wondering what that experimental drug is that Trump is allegedly taking. It’s basically a mix between a fat jab and a drug against hypoglycaemia for diabetics. My hope was that is was a strong compound capable of ending his life but it’s not.

Was in an Uber earlier and the driver kept going on about how good marijuana is for you and that women should stay at home and look after children. He brought up the topics and I tried to change subject but he kept talking. I told him I disagreed (politely). Guess who’s getting a one star review.

Because I’m Italian and World Cups are out of stock for the moment, I’m going to support Curaçao. At least THEY could qualify.

10 years ago, my niece was born, just the morning of the result of that fateful referendum. I was in tears and masked them as tears of joy for the birth, but they weren’t. 10 years on, the UK looks more like a survivor of a shipwreck than the rich, tanned guy we were promised.

Every room in every property that Epstein owned had 24 hours a day manned surveillance. You couldn’t use a bathroom without being recorded. So where’s the tapes?

My sister, a stroke doctor, is doing the night shift in a hospital in Italy. First patient of the night: an inmate who attempted to murder his wife. During the procedure (machines attached to his body) he was like “It was self defence!” My sister dreams of slapping him but will care for him instead

Do you think Burnham should take over directly or go through the party’s procedure, with MPs and party members? I fear if he is given the job directly (apparently it’s possible?) he will be accused of being undemocratically elected.

Can you help with this: I want to find names for “fake jobs for rich kids” (=they work 1/2 day a week) Examples: “entrepreneur” “dj” or “work at parents’ business” I recently heard of this one: “I manage apartments” (dad is a property developer) Any more ideas? Thank you kindly.

Keir Starmer is a good guy. My critiques: - didn’t communicate his government’s achievements near enough - chose his advisors unwisely - was not assertive enough towards misbehaviour - too measured, not spontaneous. Clearly fearful of media. I hope Burnham will at least fill some of these gaps.

Oh he resigned 🫣

Nostragiada was right - just saying

Analysis of the election in Makerfield: Thank you Labour voters for keeping the faith. Thank you Greens and LibDems voters for making the sacrifice and voting Labour. You did so in droves. Thank you to Restore voters for sacrificing yourselves without realising. You elected Andy Burnham!

So happy Andy won!!

I had COMPLETELY missed the existence of the by-election in Aberdeen South 🫣🫣

There is a very interesting article on the New York Times that talks about Markerfield's by-election, titled "Why a small election in England will have giant consequences" It's behind a paywall. If you want to "jump over the fence" copy/paste the URL on archive.is

Just a reminder of the Nostragiada predictions from 19 May. Hope I “win”, just for the glory, no money for me.
