Ironic really, as that's exactly the same methodology the parliamentary Labour Party used to get Starmer elected as leader in the first place.

My haul from the charity shop yesterday. The lady behind the counter asked me what sort of music it was. I said it was mostly european ambient synthersizer music. "Ooo", she said, "I always watch eurovision".

About 40 compact disks, mostly Tangerine Dream, but also including Brian Eno, Can, Vangelis, & Kraftwerk among others

So I got a reply from bluesky about a post of mine that got taken down. I've replied asking them to explain which bit of the post breaks the rules they have quoted & I'm still waiting for a reply. The 1st sentence consists of quotes from live news feeds (CNN/BBC/Al Jazeera etc). Any ideas?

Screen shot of an email from bluesky accusing me of violent & threatening hate speech.
It reads
Hi there,
Thanks for reaching out.
Here is the post that resulted in your suspension for violating our violent and threatening speech guidelines.
A precision shot with a sniper rifle, 200 yards away, hitting the neck in a place where there would be no hidden armour - the shooter planned it well & knew exactly what they were doing. So that rules out Trump then.
To help prevent this from happening again, please make sure your account activity complies with our guidelines.

At least it’s consistent with his views regarding Palestine.

Finally made it into the local paper. We reported the animal carcass. It was in Belvedere - miles from any countryside. Warning - It's an unpleasant picture of a dead sheep

The only thing that surprises me about this craven excuse for a closet tory is that he has the gall to use the word "left".

I'm a UK Gypsy, it's what we call ourselves. This person contacted me telling me Gypsy is a slur. I pointed out that it's what we call ourselves in the UK. This person then started to troll me & is trying to organise a pile on. I'm blocking reporting them all. www.gypsy-traveller.org

For DIY GM screens, I've aways found 3-page clear plastic menu folders perfect. As well as your own tables, you can put stuff that's handy for the players on the reverse...
