Another massive "W" for the moderation team here, clearly keeping us all safe from the forces of evil by handing out a 2 dayer for the square root of fuck all. Just beyond words.

Milburn says Ofsted system needs to change so schools incentivised to stop pupils becoming Neets. He's gonna suggest skip tracers or bounties for ears soon.

We can all Mandy Rice-Davies our way through the main headline here, but what's this "highly unusual intervention"? Other than being the essence of evil incarnated via tooth enamel, the one thing you can say bank on with that cunt is being in the paper more often than the fucking masthead.

This is Turbobastard, my biggest fan. It normally lives under the rower so I pass through it on the recovery stroke and it makes a noise like a very sad Piper Cub, but extreme conditions demand extreme responses. (Yes, I currently look like a Golden Lab hanging out of a Volvo)

I think someone had the same idea, actually, looking at the little hole and the wear pattern around the bigger one. I like the back tube idea, I'm terrible for things coming undone and getting lost.

Have been really enjoying the new Periphery, "A Pale White Dot." The songwriting and arrangements are a lot tighter than in the past (no songs over five minutes) but the biggest leap is in Spencer's vocal, which are frequently unrecognisable.

There seems to be a lot of Sensible Moderates mistaking "ungovernable" for "people do not agree with me, a Sensible Moderate, that my opinion is the only one that matters" recently.

They were doing so well until the last sentence. I'd have sworn reality was dawning until then.
Thoughts from a Labour MP:

“We have to face up to the fact every single one of them is fucking useless. Andy’s strategy has been a disaster. Angela bottled it. Ed clearly a hiding to nothing. Wes AWOL. God knows what Catherine West is doing. Not quite sure how we ended up here.”

Wellbeing tips with Auntie Alanna, #7: You do not have to do this to yourself
A blessing from on high, a balm for the soul most beset, a simple remedy to improve your life and mental health and probably clear up that patch of dry skin you[ve been ignoring, but Jesus fuck, just get that towering sack of arsehole the flying fuck away from me, he has nothing to contribute but opprobrium and sucks the oxygen from everything just by existing. Whether he's an op or not, the net effect is the same and this is the only possible response to safeguard your wellbeing and that of your movements.

I have a pair of Beyer DT100 headphones I bought new in 2007. They are a bit grandad's hammer, as I've replaced at least three parts (cushions, drivers, cable) in that time as they got gigged to fuck and you can still buy them and the spares. They were first released in 1960.

Interestingly, since we started this thread, the position is now... wait for it... that he did nothing wrong. There were events, none were connected, no-one can say how this came to pass.

Well, it's certainly beggared mine, not to mention tied it up at gunpoint during the robbery and then executed it gangland-style out the back by the shed once all the gear was in the motor.

Again the lie persists that Mandelson's appointed was strategic, rather than a payoff for all his hard work. Lammy also trotted out the same bilge last night. bsky.app/profile/alan...
t is obvious to anyone, at least in the unconscious part of the brain, that Starmer appointed Mandy not because the PM is corrupt, or hoped to receive kickbacks, or enjoy transfers into a Swiss bank account. No, he did it in what he perceived to be the national interest.
Okay, I happen to think he was wrong. You maybe did too. It was a gamble. As I said at the time, Trump’s Washington is a snakepit, which is why the PM appointed a snake.

This is because I politely pointed out that he was misusing the word "tankie."

The interesting thing here is that Lammy is talking total bollocks. Karen Pierce was already been in post, Trump liked her and requested that she remained in post rather than replacing her with Mandelson and was ignored.
Lammy did, however, admit there had been “some time pressures” on the Foreign Office last January to confirm Mandelson in post as Donald Trump was re-entering the White House.

“There was a feeling that obviously Trump had won the election in November, he was moving into the White House, and it would be good if we had an ambassador. So there was some time pressures around that I recall at the time.”
