The good news is that the DVSA have Beyoncified the test booking system, so now you have to queue for 45 minutes before they tell you there are no damn tests.

Really, is it surprising that a man who won't publicly state how many kids he has, whose two previous marriages ended with him cheating, isn't fussed about toxic male behaviour? 🤷🏼‍♀️ who cares what this walking jizz stain thinks about Adolescence.

Boris Johnson made an entire career - including his tenure as PM - out of being an opportunistic cunt, and truly we should have zero energy left to expend on his desperate attempts for attention. Normalise not caring about what irrelevant people think (or profess to think for £).

"Prosecution rates remain painfully low" - one of the most stupid aspects of revenge porn law is that you have to be able to prove the intent to cause harm, which can be pretty intangible and really ought to be taken as a given. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Adolescence is astonishingly good. My heart has been in my throat the whole time. The writing is brilliant, the acting is perfect. So, so good.

Civil servants are protected by the same employment law as anyone else. They are not bulletproof ffs. This "they're so rubbish and we simply can't fire them" spiel is straight out of the Tory playbook. Disappointing from @teamlabouruk.bsky.social www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Forgot to say yesterday (World Book Day) I wrote a book, too. It's about football, family, and modern Britain in general, not just Charlton Athletic, so there's a chance you might be interested. amzn.to/3xCSbak

If hating women to the extent of committing acts of violence against them isn't extreme, then I guess it must be... completely normal? There is, at least to some extent, a cause and effect here. Sighs forever. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The way that certain bad actors have politicised the murder of three little girls to further their own agendas and the willingness of so many others to go along with it has nothing short of horrified me. We live in utterly terrifying times.

Absolutely REELING from the suggestion that a woman (Kim K) who has dedicated her entire life to cashing in on all other women and indeed her own kids for the sake of a few quid and some new body parts *might* be *a bit* of a wanker.

The fact that Gregg Wallace doesn't understand how literally STEEPED in misogyny that response is, tells me absolutely everything I need to know about Gregg Wallace, tbh.

Listening to this now. Really interesting, and I remain on the fence. Wondering about the chat around Canada, and how that couldn't happen here because of differences in our legislative processes. What about case law, though? Could that not result in goalposts being moved? Genuine question, btw.

My bro just found a list of essential hand luggage items that he'd written when we were going on holiday as kids. Delighted to report that Boglins met the threshold for this.
