We used to set fire to it briefly before drinking. It's just as disgusting but you also had the risk of burnt lips. Why did we do this? I have no idea, but youth is a hell of a drug.

Not a fan of AI but if that tiara was a deliberate choice then kudos to the prompt engineer.

clip from bbc news online

headline: Suella Braverman tells police to be firmer with 'extremist' protesters
date: 07.11.2022
start of story: The home secretary has told police to "take a firmer line" against protesters blocking roads and damaging art.

Climate activists, most notably Just Stop Oil, have closed motorways and glued themselves to famous art works over the last few months.

Suella Braverman said the "disruption is a threat to our way of life", during a speech on Wednesday.
video caption: The home secretary says protesters' rights have too often been put above the rights of otherstweet by Suella Braverman, 07.09.2026:
"People in Portsmouth are angry, scared and feel like this government is actively trying to destroy the country.

"Enough is enough."

Isn't that why they came up with the term "suicidal empathy?" So that they can deny other's suffering and call it good?

As they weigh up slashing their targets for EVs and drilling for more oil. Humanity is fucked and we deserve everything coming our way.

He has conspicuously refused to rule it out, despite the climate catastrophe unfolding around our ears. Announcing petty stuff like a BBQ ban whilst refusing to engage with the larger issue suggests the same playbook as Starmer: tinker around the edges and run away from the big decisions.

David Sutherland @davidsutherland.bsky.social · 12/08/2026
Burnham is *considering* a ban on portable BBQs - what more can you possibly expect of the UK government as we head into a civilisation threatening crisis? Ban portable BBQs but approve more drilling in the North Sea. We're doomed and we deserve it.

"Burnham says he is considering ban on disposable BBQs" Finally, the strong leadership and serious policy decisions we need to fully tackle the climate crisis! Oh wait, never mind, we're totally fucked.

He ran away from having to make an argument against the tabloid narrative. Looks like Burnham is going to do the same thing, so Labour will be (deservedly) wiped out at the next GE. God help us with Reform running the show.

Deportation sounds expensive. Wouldn't it be economically smarter to transport them to custom-built accommodation areas where they can work to support the prosperity of their host nation? The work would set them free.

If it's a strategy that will achieve nothing other than to infuriate both sides of an argument and ultimately achieve nothing, then you can guarantee that's what Starmer is doing. He's made it into an art form.

David Sutherland @davidsutherland.bsky.social · 11/05/2026
By refusing to commit to a future rejoin stance he shows all this "heart of Europe" stuff is just meaningless guff. You can't be at the heart of Europe whilst determinedly staying **outside** it. It's bullshit. He has learned nothing. He needs to go.

You cannot accept millions for "personal security" needed as a direct result of your political activities and then claim it has nothing to do with politics! It's a blatant lie from a slippery grifter.

How can anyone trust the police after reading this? It's not just the current leadership up to their eyeballs in covering up corruption, but the previous chief-constable is _also_ facing fraud and misconduct charges. The whole force is rotten to the bone.

To mis-quote somebody: the purpose of a system is what it does, not what people tell you it's for. This system doesn't ensure suitability or security, it ensures nobody can be held accountable.

How many more people are going to have to resign for Keir Starmer's decision to ignore the advice of every single person who told him not to appoint Peter Mandelson?

Nobody is going to buy it. Darren Jones and co. are going to burn the last shreds of their own credibility trying to protect Starmer - and he's already a dead man walking. Pointless, and a gross insult to everyone's intelligence.

The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.

Being close to a deal is why Israel marched Trump into a war. Without war the money stops flowing to Israel's corrupt leadership. Peace in the middle east is the last thing they want.
