Reposted by Matthew FryeIan Dunt @iandunt.bsky.social · 6hActually interesting section on Reform. "To those who say 'unite the right', we are not uniting with that". Says she doesn't want to debate if her mixed-race children are English. "We must not let these people take us backwards." This is a very welcome section, which wins a standing ovation. 825026
Matthew Frye @purble.bsky.social · 7hClearly because the road to your museum was the more travelled road. 140

Matthew Frye @purble.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Whether that actually scuppers the tories chances in the election is a different question, of course 000
Matthew Frye @purble.bsky.social · 06/10/2026I think there's no way she makes it through an election campaign without that happening 100
Matthew Frye @purble.bsky.social · 06/10/2026OK, but standing them on end like this is sociopathic 000
Matthew Frye @purble.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Was amused ("amused") when the bbc push notification lead with "bestselling author" and none of... like... *gestures vaguely* 000
Matthew Frye @purble.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Times like this I wish "sue their ass" was a more viable strategy 000
Matthew Frye @purble.bsky.social · 04/10/2026If labour aren't for employment rights, they might as well give up and disband now. 130
Matthew Frye @purble.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Probably as common as arranging to meet at Liverpool St station, and one person ending up at Liverpool Lime St 010
Matthew Frye @purble.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Whereas in Britain, having wealthy parents, degree, or particular category of work doesn't matter if your previous 7 generations of ancestors don't stack up 040
Matthew Frye @purble.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I guess it's possible they simply believe stuff from their own country is ontologically superior to stuff from other countries? Or from a more hippie angle, perhaps that it's better to use only locally sourced stuff? Very generously, it's possible they simply believe they're being screwed on value 010

Matthew Frye @purble.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Honestly more disappointing than if literally nothing happened 010
Matthew Frye @purble.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Just once, I'd like them to say that there are "unclear material errors" 010
Matthew Frye @purble.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Man, nothing has made me more interested in starting an Instagram account 031

Matthew Frye @purble.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Not just tourism, also business. I'm not looking at US conferences or visiting US collaborators in person for the next couple of years 090
Matthew Frye @purble.bsky.social · 01/10/2026This undeniable fact is nonetheless absolutely false. 000
Matthew Frye @purble.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Well, the RRS (Royal Research Ship) Sir David Attenborough carries Boaty McBoatface, so that checks out. 120
Matthew Frye @purble.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Well, a ruling is a form of opinion, albeit a highly informed, authoritative, and usually enforceable one. And it certainly is negative to their interests. 010
Matthew Frye @purble.bsky.social · 30/09/2026No, there are far too many bad people for one of them to take all the credit and let the others off the hook. 000
Matthew Frye @purble.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Weirdly, the destruction of Warsaw is somehow a good parallel for the destruction of Gaza. Yes, there were guns, but there were also bulldozers coming after to vindictively salt the earth. Also yes, what the Allies did to Dresden was awful too, and nowadays would hopefully be strongly condemned. 240
Matthew Frye @purble.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Or that it was only the Jews pissed off at being occupied and partitioned among invading major world powers. Again. Poland has a history with this. 010

Matthew Frye @purble.bsky.social · 29/09/2026My girlfriend does this every year with her bird photos! Gets half a dozen or so, and gives them to a few different people 050
Matthew Frye @purble.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Seems unlikely. Don't know enough to say it's impossible, but a lot of big hurdles to any HMRC investigator wanting to go after them. And they presumably already paid considerable tax on the relevant sums as they were declared as profits. 000
Matthew Frye @purble.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Fascinated by "b) A short Rejoinder from the Club addressing certain matters of Swiss law." 010
Matthew Frye @purble.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Damn angular momentum! *shakes fist violently at the universe* 000
Matthew Frye @purble.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Haven't even had a leader of the opposition willing to say that, despite it being quite literally their job to say things like that 140
Matthew Frye @purble.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Well, when he did stuff he can do quickly, like the bus fares cap, he got criticised for being too small 000
Matthew Frye @purble.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Alas for having basic ethics of not lying about reality. 000
Matthew Frye @purble.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Not slip of the finger, though I do those occasionally too, but a muscle memory issue 000
Matthew Frye @purble.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Well, I don't have the cot-caught merger, so I definitely don't do that one. Though I think I don't do this thing in general much at all. What I do more is my fingers get caught in a similar pattern, eg trying to type thought they'll start typing through 110
