Most of them wouldn't even bother to spit on the girls exploited by grooming gangs. Utter hypocrisy.

Iranian Revolution or Thatcher winning the 1979 UK election. Not sure which came first.

Over-exposed and like a lot of successful entrepreneurs, not as good at everything he turns his hand to as he would like to believe. I miss when you had to be a journalist to do journalism.

we just sort of felt obliged to do one
Cartoon by stephen collins: script follows:

[Scene is a SUPERMARKET. An OLD LADY is struggling to reach the top shelf of the cleaning products aisle. A little BOY in a bobble hat is looking at her as she strains to reach up]. 

1
BOY:
Are you OK?

2
OLD LADY:
Ooh...
I'm trying to reach the Cleenco Multi Surface Cleaner

3
OLD LADY:
My tall husband used to reach it down for me...

4
OLD LADY:
before he tragically died.

5
BOY:
Don’t worry

6
BOY:
I’m an unrealistically empathetic Christmas Advert Child

7
BOY:
I can randomly summon some fairies with your dead husband’s face, to get a bottle down for you!

8
[Pause while the old lady looks at him askance]

9
OLD LADY:
Bit weird but OK

10
[Indie ballad plays]

[tiny fairies with an old man’s face fly down from the shelf with a bottle of CLEENCO Multi Surface Cleaner]

11
[Show the fairies giving the old lady the bottle]

12
[Final panel shows a product shot of the bottle]:

CLEENCO Multi Surface Cleaner

(We felt obliged to do a Christmas ad)

Trump thinks that elections aren't already based exclusively on the Electoral College. It's the dementia.

This is all well and good, but if it isn't funded, it won't happen. Ultimately care workers get paid badly because local authorities pay providers badly. And councils are skint. Rayner has personal beef with private sector care providers, but she won't fix this by blaming the crisis on them.

Standard Poke MO, though. They need some traffic so they fish for something that generated moderate interest some years ago, and then say it's "...gone viral all over again" in the hope that it will. I guess they have to make a living. Best regards to your cats - I bet they're very happy.

If I'd like to see one thing done differently on Bluesky as opposed to other playforms, it's be to stop pitting generations against one another as if they're homogenous masses. Your age, whether young or old, doesn't prevent you being a prick.

Sure was. It's a shame western liberal democracy hasn't delivered in the promise. It all looks like hollow marketing now, which is arguably what it was. Nothing changed for those that needed change most, and here we are.
