THEY'VE ACTUALLY GONE AND DONE THE REGGIE PERRIN BIT

Me to my drug dealer at Christmas if I still bought drugs and the weed was miserable OK idk

Amusing to see 2 potato-faced individuals on Novara recently agreeing that Starmer has never been attractive.

I don't think from an unnamed means made up but I would like political journalists to consider merit of both source and info rather than just publish everything briefed from unnamed sources. Surely evaluating the quality of info and the weight that should be given to it is part of their role rather

People think Britain was a better place when they were prettier, had more sex, went out more and didn't go oof every time they moved.

Remember J*deInLondon adjacent twitter demanding payment for their labour if asked a q about something they'd tweeted. Fun times.

No way has this woman had an appeal decision for a decision made in September. Can anyone report on benefits accurately? www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

What summer riots? www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Badenoch said at pmqs that Oliver Colvile (whoever tf he was) loved crickets 🦗 🦗🦗

Idk what cupcakes have got to do with anything, an Americanism that have only been a thing here for 15 or so years. Keep Calm and Carry On fascism maybe but that not female coded enough so shoes, handbags, gin don't fit so cupcakes with faint hint of nostalgia, albeit for 50s, it is

"Worth saying" but not in article 🤷‍♀️

I want to know what Dorries' surgeon did

Not sure why Polanski being a charlatan and using women's insecurity for his previous bs "work" is funny cos lol boobs. But then I am a humourless feminist and amazed at how unconcerned people are by it cos he's a good media performer and saying stuff people agree with. His version doesn't add up

I do get a bee in my bonnet about the accuracy of really piddling things sometimes which is actually really annoying to me too. Is that bipolar disorder or adhd? Idk

Having read the article, it's flat wrong. They're mapping to CEFR levels, but A-level English is equivalent to C2 not B2. What I think they *mean* is a level of English *as a foreign language* equivalent to foreign language A-level like French or Spanish support.cambridgeenglish.org/hc/en-gb/art...

Why is everyone being silly and pretending there's a requirement for people to pass an A level to live in UK? It's a change from current requirement of B1 competency in English to B2. It's also not a new announcement share.google/yUBRIvTMIxSb...

Time in the wfh calendar to deploy cashmere headband

Lots of concern trolling from supposed progressives asking if pointing out antisemitism from pro Palestinian marchers isn't the real antisemitism

Kit and Sarah have got zero chemistry #corrie

There is a species of meaning-free reply to a Jew talking about antisemitism that is less about its content - some species of minimisation or whataboutery - than it is an internal reaction in the replier, who is uncomfortable to see a Jew talking and must remind them of their place.

Absolutely disgraceful programme today @mrjamesob.bsky.social Should have been a day to listen more and not simply to those who you already agree with.

Why is James O'Brien telling a Jewish man that the opposing team in a football match saying "Free Palestine" to a Jewish team isn't antisemitic?

Good to hear Starmer challenging that little prick Chris Mason. CM - "But that could be lost in the nuance" KS - "Well let's not lose it in the nuance". It's people like Mason who deliberately confuse things because modern media thrives on chaos.

How is Chris Mason only 45? Nick Timothyesque

Black Country orange chips ftw

What's going on with Burnham's hairline?

I've never had any reason to look at land registry for a piece of land but wouldn't show there if owned by a/was in trust?

So the story is if Starmer's parents had owned something that they didn't the total value of their estate would have been higher but still not high enough to mean iht was payable. But if the thing they didn't own had been worth more and they had have owned it iht would have been payable.

Has there been any tribute to Robert Redford on BBC other than bits on news? Any films or interviews aired? Can't find anything

Labour (under Ed Miliband) lead in the polls for ages against the Cameron government (sometimes 10 or 11 points higher). I don't recall the media undermining Cameron and saying he was finished and they certainly weren't crowning Ed as PM years ahead. In fact, the very opposite. Funny that ...

Omg, I didn't realise Farage said he wouldn't follow WHO. Christ

Why is Jonathan Pie bloke on BBC News, he's such a no-nothing

But where it does exist it's on anti-establishment conspiracy theory minded far right or far left, so Farage doesn't want Reform to lose those votes

Farage won't condemn Trump linking paracetamol use in pregnancy with autism because he doesn't want to alienate the anti-vax wingnuts from voting for his party. (I know Trump's comments not strictly anti-vax)

I'd add vaccination as one of deciding criteria in allocating school places. Obviously those unable to have vaccination would be treated as those vaccinated. Ensure parents aren't charged by GP surgery for confirming this

In March I changed the charity linked to my M&S Sparks card to The Refugee Council. Before I'd chosen Shelter which had M&S had donated £981261 to at time. Refugee Council in contrast had received just £51,969.

This bloke on 4 In A Bed looks like John Harris in a sailor suit

"(A)nd this end of the earth was called Gornal..." J. B. Priestley on the Black Country

Going to Black Sabbath ballet. Wearing dress and boots bought for a friend's funeral, appropriately.

It's terrible when a celebrity you admire lets you down. I don't know why Darkwing Duck accepted this invitation.

Walked out of a Billy Bragg gig (someone gave me spare ticket) cos he said some stupid shit about metoo and how "we must appreciate and value women" (er why you addressing the men in the audience only Billy?) and then played The Saturday Boy 🤦‍♀️

Great to see all the love for Quiz Show which I've always thought unfairly overlooked. It's just perfect.

What Robert Redford contributed to American films via Sundance is genuinely immeasurable. He was also an extraordinarily talented director--Ordinary People and Quiz Show are two of the best American studio movies of their eras--and an actor who somehow wore his incredible charisma almost shyly. RIP.

This is open next weekend so just went to the Unitarian Meeting House and had interesting chat with minister there. Phone died before I could take photo of the beautiful yellow glass windows or the fab curtains and kitchen.

Watching the Irish tricolour, the saltire & the St George’s flag being paraded by fascists round the streets of London, it’s a useful reminder that nationalism truly is for losers.

If SM and news causing frustration and/or despair, it's heritage weekend (or maybe week idk). Lots of things not usually open to public will be opening their doors if you need to get out the house and doing something different (and I think free or mostly free).

Obviously it was Stand Up To Racism which Unison donates to 🙄 Have considered leaving as don't want my subs supporting them but the alternative for me is bloody Unite

Got an email from Unison branch on Thursday, so 2 days before about counter protest to Robinson's hate mob. The left need to get a lot fucking better organised than that and unite to to fight what's going on and what malign forces are trying to do to UK. They're organised, however much we laugh can

They're not spending their Saturday with family, with friends, with their parents, with their children, they not even enjoying an online community, shooting the shit and having a good time with relative strangers across the world.

They're gathering for a festival of hatred because that's the only meaningful thing they have. And they've got to get together in a specific place at a specific time because back in their homes, in their towns and their villages, they have nothing.
