eBay's 'Cook's Nook' forum gave me a whole gang of American friends I remain in contact with. We sent each other food parcels before postage became extortionately expensive. One particular thread ('What are you having for supper?') ran for years.

I'm in my dentist's waiting room. There was a dead fledgling pigeon outside , by the front door. Another patient just walked in holding the bird by its feet and put it in their handbag. I want to believe they're a taxidermist....

Just caught up on the Christa Pike news story. 1. the cruelty and inhumanity are the point. They don't care if a prisoner suffers. 2. While I don't know if Pike was an intravenous drug user, a significant part of the prison population is/was making it hard to find & hit a patent vein.

"You will never defeat us" is a very funny thing to say after you've just bailed everyone who was involved in whatever the fuck this was

All five men arrested in RAF base plot are British nationals
The five men who were arrested and subsequently released on bail are all British citizens, home secretary Shabana Mahmood has just told the Labour party conference.

She adds that the scene is “now safe” and the residents living near to the RAF base are now able to return home.

“Let this be a reminder: you will never defeat us,” he says.

Folks, when you say things like "Haha, I bet Nigel Farage is really upset the Fairford suspects are UK nationals," you're still amplifying Farage's message. As an immigrant, I am well aware that Reform don't want me here. I don't need you to fill in for them when they occasionally shut up

Those of you outrage-reposting screengrabs of Farage's latest hysterical racist bullshit are doing exactly what he wants and needs- amplification. Stop it!
