All food should be sourced from the Faraj Supermarket in Southgate in north London where halal meat is a speciality. Just don't point out to them what Faraj means in Malay. They're really lovely people. Funny it makes me think of Nigel Faraj.

Remember the Tories don’t care about people, they never did and this will never change. All the issue we face started with them forcing Neoliberalism on us. 😡

Black text on white background 
"This day is profoundly painful for so many New Yorkers. It marks three years since the horrific war crimes of October 7. On that day, Hamas killed more than 1,100 Israelis and abducted 251 others. We grieve alongside our many friends and neighbors who still carry that unthinkable loss.
 
The suffering did not begin nor end that day. It instead continued through the Israeli government’s devastating, ongoing genocide in Gaza, in which it has killed more than 74,000 Palestinians—including more than 21,000 children. Even since the so-called ceasefire, more than 1,400 Palestinians have been killed. That suffering has intensified with every Israeli bomb dropped on ambulances waiting outside hospitals, every drone strike targeting a residential building or journalist, and every shipment of food aid turned away at a border crossing. Many New Yorkers are reckoning with this unbearable grief, and we mourn alongside them – all while knowing that our tax dollars fund these war crimes.
 
Three years later, we must refuse to accept a world in which occupation and apartheid continue, where war crimes are met with impunity, and our federal government continues its complicity with every arms shipment.
 
To honor the dead, we must fight for a world in which every person can live with freedom, safety, and dignity."

Of course you butter both slices. There was a TV show in the UK a few years back where a "celebrity" went to see afternoon tea being made at the Dorchester and she asked that question. The bloke from the hotel looked shocked anyone would ask it saying "Of course you butter both slices" disdainfully.

I'm English. In England. Where we understand the English language. And despite some American variations to that language I know he was telling Iran to bomb San Diego and LA possibly so he can do it himself and blame the someone else. A B1 looks very like a TU-160 and he's just brought them all home.

If anyone still wonders about how Jimmy Savile got away with it, just read all the tributes to Archer that refer more prominently to his charity work than his crimes. There’s a big part of it.

Someone on Threads suggested the reason the US removed its B1 bombers from England after a few blokes in white vans tried nicking red diesel from farmers near the airbase was that the B1 looks very like the Tupolev T-160 so Trump could bomb San Diego and LA and blame someone else.

It's funny how I used to get slagged off as earning far too much as a tube driver when I never earned more than £55,000 when I retired two years ago and I didn't mind paying tax including some at 40% because there are so many people desperately poor who need help in this country.

A naked, gold-covered Trump statue has been unveiled inside the European Parliament in Strasbourg. It’s called “Orange Plague,” also known as “King of Injustice,” and shows him sitting on another man’s shoulders holding an enormous golf club. Covered in reportedly 23-karat gold, of course.

Dermatologist recommended minor surgery for a non-urgent biopsy today. I braced myself for the 16-18 week wait that’s been widely discussed and she said “Can you wait 20 minutes? We have an opening at 11:30”. They got me in at 11:25 and I was all done by 12:15. Support & celebrate your NHS!

I think Colindale had them. I haven't been back since it's been rebuilt because I retired before then. I sometimes used to catch a bus home from there after a dead late shift. Because I was a Northern Line driver I rarely exited the stations, just drove through.

I always think back to The Burkiss Way in the 1970s. (To rhyme with Achilles) "I am Testicles! I am invincible! I feel no pain! I... Oof! I knew my mother should have held me by the ankles!" Paraphrased somewhat as it's been a long while since I've heard it.

Yes. That’s always been the case with the Tories. But in the past they’ve been clever enough to lie about the fact they exist to enrich the 1% at the expense of the 99%. But not Badenoch!

Badenoch claims £2,700 a month from the taxpayer to rent a grade II-listed farmhouse with six bedrooms. The property sits within the highest council tax bracket, costing over £4,000 in council tax a year, which the Essex MP also claims on expenses. "Best welfare" is being an MP.

She annoyed me sometimes. I remember on That's Life they coined the phrase "More than your job's worth?" which was asked of me a few times and I always said yes and explained why, asking the other person if they were prepared to finance my life if I got sacked. That's Life also took the piss...
