It's great that we are investing in Defence. But the University sector is in trouble at the moment.No sign of the government doing anything positive to help one of our biggest export earners. And nobody in Government is serious about the Brexit elephant.

My hot take is that the alcohol ban should be extended to all seated venues including music concerts. It's an absolute pain the arse to have keep getting up because of muppets endlessly going to the bar and toilets. And inevitably at all day stadium concerts it's worse. I've seen a sizeable

Haha. I'd already cancelled. When asked why I chose "Other" from the drop-down and "you can go fuck yourselves if you think I'm going to pay for a premium subscription with adverts " in the free form box. I'll resubscribe for a month once all the second half of Rivals has dropped.

You have to remember that politicians think that some jobs and by extension the voters that do those jobs are more important than the rest of us.

I'm listening to the audiobook of this right now. It is fantastic. I do need to take a minor issue with one section though. On the Opium Wars, we were taught all about them in Y9 at my Midlands Comprehensive in the early 80s. (Mr Robbie and Mr Gray set the curriculum and they would probably have

As a footnote, if a mechanism exists to deprive ANY group of civil rights—no matter how reviled they are, and by however many—then that mechanism WILL eventually be weaponized against YOU. You do not have to be trans or pro-trans to be against deprivation of anyone's rights. (PS: I am pro-trans.)

We saw Ed Sheeran at the O2 many many years ago. Even then, I think the people in charge of the lighting thought he was a bit of a dick ...

A very blurry Ed Sheeran photographed from the very top row of the O2. The spotlight is serendipitously casting a cock and balls around him.

Oh this was excellent. I remember watching it at the time, but my time degraded memory was that it was a Takes of the Unexpected. Glad to read that it was quite separate from those.

Squee! Through careful watching of flightradar, I got good views of the B-17 and Catalina returning to Duxford. (Missed the A-26 earlier as I was in the car. Heard it but didn't see it) B17 first!

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Belisha beacons on fire off Chambercombe Manor. I watched cats eyes glitter in the dark near Wildersmouth Beach. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in Devon rain. Time to die.

$In a letter posted online and attributed to the “Ilfracombe Blade Runners”, the group claims the sensors fitted to pedestrian crossings in the town are an “imminent threat to life”. In posts shared online, the Blade Runners describe the "electronic assault weapons” as “illegal battlefield derived technology” and allege that manufacturers and authorities have misled the public about its purpose and safety.$

I want the Prime Minister to look into a TV camera and say the RNLI are heroes, that we do not change policy by street violence in this country, and that he expects any criminal action to face the full force of the law. That's it. That's all he has to do.

Seems the difference between ‘protestors’ and ‘terrorists’ is that protestors wear balaclavas while terrorists hold placards.

Watching Ep 1, S4 of Reacher. A cop has just used the term "not my monkeys, not my Circus". looks like the influence of Rudi and Les Coureurs des Bois has hit the big time. (I'd tag in Dave Hutchinson but I haven't seen him skeeting in a while now)
