There's no shame in not finishing books, a lot of books are just bad.

Harry Potter didn't, in the end, encourage people to read, it just encouraged them to read Harry Potter.

I've recently renovated and had to go to branch to draw large amounts of cash out on a couple of occasions. I explained it to them the first time, they noted it, and then on any other occasion they already knew I was likely to draw more cash out in future. Total non-issues

More weird, anti-United agenda here. "Agents" have rated Sesko signing as the worst of the transfer window, but rated Gyokeres as the second best. How many more goals has Gyokeres scored, in the team that's top of the league??? Also think he's played more too. Bizarre

It doesn't get much worse than this does it? Pure evil

So much talk of economics and far right radicalisation but my increasingly view is we are all - myself included - underestimating the impact of both internet culture and (more importantly) the economics of the internet/social media on politics and radicalisation

Honestly feels like im in the Twilight Zone at the minute. Checked on the BBC News earlier, not one mention of this, its mad

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

This Is Fascism

This reminds me of when I worked with a Young Conservative in my 20s, my band wrote a song about him with some pretty poor taste lyrics iirc

Hell of a disguise

I know this wont be welcome news for a lot of our fans, I think its probably the right decision. Have another season out of him playing behind Yoro

This is proper dark

Big presence on the beaches of Normandy in 1944 too.

From now on, im gonna stop moaning about him

Goldie called me a fed

When I first started work at Co-op they had a free canteen, it was unreal. Three course meal every dinner time for nothing, loads of choice. I put a stone on in about 6 weeks.

My secret evil plot to ‘destroy Britain’ has been unveiled by (checks notes) the same paper that endorsed Liz Truss. If I don’t know better I’d say we’ve got them entirely rattled. Join.greenparty.org.uk

Fun fact: I studied English. It meant I was able to move from a council estate and now I run my business and employ people, doing nothing to do with English. Its almost as if completing a degree in itself has an intrinsic value, especially if it allows social mobility...

Robert Jenrick is not a racist. Categorically. He is something worse in - my opinion - a man with no moral limits using racism to propel himself to power. In effect, a sociopath with seemingly no constraints.

Remember reading science fiction about utopian societies where robot servants did the grunt work freeing us up to create art and poetry? That's not happening. Instead a few will get obscenely rich, A.I. will replace our jobs, and the planet will be made unlivable. It's more of a dystopia, really.

Nigel Farage *literally* has links to Putin. Journalism is dead.

Just an incredible song, timeless

Not sticking up for Jenrick here, but his dad is taking pelters like he is an industry stooge here, even though he grew up in Droysleden.

Crazy that hes more moderate than Labour

yeah, it was a good run, but we're going to need to turn social media off now.

*gasp*

K-Pop Bollocks Hunters

A fistful of bollocks

This is part of the problem with United...

Haaland is a fucking freak

Well that's the trouble. We did. We voted out the Tories, only to get a government that now does the same or worse. It's not hard to see why people feel like giving up on politics.

Hes such a great player, fucking hell

Fucking hell. I know the first bit will make people happy, but the second bit is truly beautiful, we lost a good one

This statement could be from any time this decade and hardly any of us would know

Thing is, just like the stamp duty thing that did for Rayner, this will be news for a bit and then ignored. There is nobody to hold these criminals to account and its embarrassing.

My view on Badenoch is she's being played. Tory power makers are trying to make themselves look extreme so that Reform can be positioned as the moderate centre ground. Still believe at some point before the next election they will crash the two parties together

But behind on MOTD but Estevao looks a player

Its the job of every decent journalist to ask where this £1.6bn is being cut from
