Just how do these “millions of illegals “ get Medicare? Is Trumps government administration as incompetent as him and his cabinet that theysomehow let these people join the social security system by the million ? Or is it 100% bullshit ?

With you on that. I have the same problem when I’m walking. Except it’s my knees and ankles

We popped back to UK and managed to get tickets on opening weekend at BFI. Was well worth the £26 just for the experience, let alone the film. Although I cringed at the cost when I usually pay 5€ at our local CGR !

That’s why Windows 11 is so shit. We need this screensaver back

Can this also apply to Reform MPs? It seems to be the case for Zia, but there’s another one we could do without

Looking forward to this until I saw the ludicrous £17.99 shipping charge to France taking the total up to more than 45€!

Brets are great crisps but also some of the worst. Their S&V, Pili Pili and the hand cooked ones in the clear bags are to die for. Roast Garlic and Herbs de Provence not so much

And who paid the accommodation, meals etc for all those shipped in Reform supporters? This can’t be included in this total

David Willetts, the Conservative former universities minister and an architect of higher tuition fees, said universities were undoubtedly “under increasing financial pressure and that’s mainly because of the freeze in fees for eight years”. My son’s uni education is 270€ per year In other news

If you are where I think you are, then just an hour or two south we have some hope of respite
Maybe rain at the weekend, just to piss off those folk going back to work on Monday after the traditional 3 weeks off

Great to see NYT Games app supporting diversity today. Having a Strands puzzle in a language other than English was well overdue. Congrats to them for such a bold move.

Major downside of living in France, apart from the absolutely catastrophic fires this year 😩, is the scarcity of English books without paying a fortune or using the tax dodger site. Recent trip to the UK gave up this great haul including a signed @brookmyre.bsky.social from Pz What to read next?

The reason the UK will never start to address inequality is the lack of any taxing of wealth. When you pay laughable levels of tax on Capital Gains, the wealthy continue to invest in more assets that generate them low tax gains. That’s why house prices are fucked, as are 90% of the population

Weird how really big accounts will take your art and plaster it all over every one of their socials but never think about crediting you. Maybe it's just me that finds that strange.🤷‍♂️

It’s been stinking since last night here in Angoulême too. And now my son in Poitiers is complaining. But Net zero will cause blackouts blah blah blah….

Yes. And at the frankly amazing BFI IMAX. At one point it was impossible to see the whole of Anne Hathaway’s head without moving mine ! And my insides rattled along to the soundtrack.

Do both and give us a comparative review, factoring in the cost of tickets. Some kind of entertainment per £ ratio ? Absolutely loved the film but 2 tickets cost me £52!

Neither Spain nor Argentina will be likely to play anywhere like that tomorrow. Both teams must be so pissed off that they weren’t playing tomorrow night. But then again stakes wouldn’t be the same.

So what he’s saying is elections run when he is in power are not safe from foreign interference. But 2016 and 2024 when Democrats ran the country elections were fair. <insert Principal Skinner meme here>
