  1. You know what an actual journalist (as opposed to a PR mouthpiece for the ruling classes) would have done here?

    Looked in detail into what evidence there was that the #FrogFacedGrifter actually did sing Hitler Youth songs when he was at school.

  2. Wait, what? Starmer says Farage isn't racist?

    Is there another Farage somewhere? Because if he's talking about the #FrogFacedGrifter, then Farage's racism is so obvious it could be seen from space.

  3. CW: UK Politics, mention of the Frog-Faced Grifter

    I totally believe the #FrogFacedGrifter when he says he didn't put any of his own money into buying the house.

    The idea that he'd spend a single penny of his own money to live in his actual constituency is just too far-fetched.

  4. Now that the corporate media have successfully claimed Rayner's scalp by digging into her taxes, I'm sure they will next turn their attention to a forensic examination of the way the #FrogFacedGrifter avoids tax by getting paid for his media appearances via a limited company rather than to him directly, and will not rest until they have determined whether it is in 100% compliance with IR35 rules, right?

    Right?

  5. @Opfoss Rayner clearly at the very least was very careless, and I'm not defending her.

    One big difference here of course was that once the corporate media got a whiff that Rayner might have fiddled her taxes, they made sure it was front page news until the truth came out.

    I confidently predict that the corporate media will not be asking questions about the #FrogFacedGrifter's IR35 status.

    So it will of course have to remain speculation.

  6. Given that the #FrogFacedGrifter is so keen to champion rights to incite violence in social media posts, I'm sure he won't mind if I encourage anyone who sees him to throw a milkshake at him.

    If you can find one in Freeze Peach flavour, so much the better.

  7. @pvonhellermannn It's so bizarre. Starmer has many faults, but he's not an idiot. Surely he must realise that all this stuff just plays into the hands of the #FrogFacedGrifter

    And yet he does it anyway. I really don't understand why.

    Best guess is that it was a condition of his sponsors in return for letting him be PM for a term. Sounds a bit tinfoil hat, I know, but I honestly can't think of any other explanation that makes even the slightest bit of sense.

  8. @Geri What courts? I assume that the #FrogFacedGrifter would abolish them (at least as they apply to the government) as one of his first acts if voters were crazy enough to put him in charge.

  9. @nicol Agreed, but I see absolutely no sign of that happening. Starmer seems determined to spend most of his political energy talking about immigration.

    Why, I have no idea. He's not a complete moron. He must know that it plays straight into the hands of the #FrogFacedGrifter

  10. CW: UK Politics

    The worst thing about it is that by pushing this narrative so strongly, more and more people will believe it, and will end up voting for Reform.

    You think things are bad now, you ain't seen nothing yet. Things will be so much worse with the #FrogFacedGrifter as PM.

    And I fear that that's exactly where we're headed. I don't understand why #Starmer either doesn't realise that, or doesn't care.

  11. CW: UK Politics, mention of the Frog Faced Grifter

    Farage: we can't let immigrants come into this country! The country is full!

    Also Farage: we want to make it easier to have children

  12. Is it just me or is the world going mad?

    The #IPPR have just released a major report on ill health and its effects on the economy. They acknowledge that things have got much worse since #covid19 came along.

    Hell, they even show this graph:

    And they make some broadly sensible recommendations, but absolutely none of them is about mitigating the risks of covid.

    Recommendations for free vaccines? Nope. Better air quality? Nope. Masking in healthcare settings? Also nope.

  13. CW: Iran War

    I really wouldn't put it past that crazy fucker to want to nuke Iran.

    I would like to think that his generals won't let him do that. I hope I'm not overestimating their professionalism.

  14. OK, I think we've all been very unfair about AI. There was I thinking it wasn't going to bring us anything, but apparently it will bring us carnage.

    So that's OK then.

  15. "Chickenpox vaccines for young children start across UK"

    Excellent news. They should have started 25 years ago, of course, but better late than never.

    Most children make an uneventful recovery from chickenpox, but some don't, and if you're really unlucky it can be fatal. This will surely save lives.

    And even if you avoid serious complications, chickenpox is never fun. The vaccines will avoid a lot of unnecessary suffering and time off work.

  20. This is excellent news.

    OK, we should have been vaccinating kids against chickenpox for at least the last 25 years, but better late than never.

    This will prevent a great deal of misery, and even save a few lives. Most kids recover uneventfully from chickenpox (though it's still not fun), but some have serious complications, and in rare cases, they can be fatal. We typically see about 20 deaths per year in the UK.

  25. We ordered some new sofas from John Lewis last month. A few days ago they told us they were ready and will be delivered today. Had a text last night saying they would be delivered between 0846 and 1046 this morning.

    And now we've had a phone call saying they won't be. We are assured they have been manufactured, but they don't seem to know where they are. Not even if they were in the UK or waiting to be shipped from China.

    I wonder if John Lewis use #AI in their logistics?

  26. I express no opinion on the probability of Letby being able to successfully appeal against her conviction, but I will observe that if she does, then a lot of people who have given evidence to the public inquiry about how she was able to get away with it and why nobody stopped her are going to feel pretty silly.

    I finally got round to listening to Laura Kuenssberg's interview with Michelle Mone and her husband today.

    All I will say is that Prince Andrew is an excellent and convincing interview subject.

  28. So JVCI are now recommending that from now on, #Covid19 vaccines should be limited to those over 75, care home residents, and people who are immunosuppressed.

    The government claims to be worried about the number of people not working because they're on long term sick leave, and yet they don't seem keen to take even the most basic precautions to keep us safe from a disease that can make us long-term sick.

    Absolutely bonkers.
