To be fair, at this point the leader of any British political party (except Nigel Farage) might struggle to imagine that they or anyone should be planning for a world in which they are still making decisions as the leader of a political party in four years' time.

Not the most original insight, but the Royal Mail is one of the more reliable post-privatisation services up until the moment that literally anything goes wrong, at which point it becomes perhaps the worst and least accountable service this side of the water companies.

The RNLI is the closest you will ever get to actual Batman. When rescue is visibly, viscerally, obviously impossible; when the water is a smothering, thundering black wall and the wind is screaming straight from Hell; when you are absolutely going to die: someone’s hand pulls you out and you don’t.

If you chop a puddle of blood right now (which shouldn't be allowed) the game doesn't know what to produce so it defaults to chopped chicken 🐔💀 It's the cat's favourite bug in Streets of Fortuna!
A screenshot from Streets of Fortuna. The player character in brown bags holding a butcher knife stands in front of a pile of blood with chopped chickens strewn about.

The idea that Bret Stephens is the most politically engaged person Bret Stephens knows is absolutely on brand, as is that his political engagement takes the form of wanting there to be a privately funded effort to engage people who "were on the Vineyard or in Greece".

Not for nothing, but for all the opprobrium poured on arts and humanities degrees, the presence of one (1) GCSE in Classical Studies would have saved this entire, extremely expensive space mission.

This is all a bit silly season, obviously, but I _am_ kind of interested that there are scare quotes around "actor", but not around "in Hollywood". Like, in what sense is an AI-generated character _in Hollywood_? Presumably it's not where the data centre is...

This does suggest Britain is a) very good at integration b) actively attracts the world's smart and ambitious people who want to get on and do well for themselves Both of these are very good, competitive qualities to have and should be celebrated.

At the risk of stating the obvious, probably two fairly key reasons why there was no violence (that we know of) in Dover and violence in Portsmouth is a) the Police were not meaningfully present or frustrating the activists in Dover and b) Dover took place before the pubs opened.
