I would suggest Count Duckula for the fiver and Peppa Pig for the £50 but ok
The Conservative party logo is a tree.
"Fossil fuels should be more expensive but not now" - literally every government for the last 20 years.
I put "European" on the census, because both English and British mean the kind of flagshagging racist twuntery that I don't want to be associated with, and because those kinds of people are responsible for stealing my European citizenship from me.
One of my favourite literary put-downs is from Douglas Adams's The Restaurant at the End of the Universe. Zaphod Beeblebrox, who often reacts in erratic ways, claims to be “pretty dangerous when I'm cornered,” to which Ford Prefect responds “you go to pieces so fast people get hit by the shrapnel.”
Future linguistics researchers are going to spend decades explaining the early 21st century word shift that caused the word "Freedom" to change meaning from "the ability to act without compulsion" to "the power to utter complete bollocks without restraint".
There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable.
There is another theory which states that this has already happened.
Minesweeping is woke.
Maybe the reason no one has ever tried this before was because CENTCOM never could come up with a good plan
Oil Price go up.
Everything made from, with or derived from oil also gets more expensive.
No it does not matter if your country produces oil.
If the price goes up anywhere it goes up everywhere.
The Straight of Malacca is a *huge* geopolitical and economically critical one, connecting the Indian and Pacific Oceans.
The Straight of Dover, between France and England, which handles the vast majority of shipping for all of the North Sea and Baltic ports.
Democracy is the theory that the people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard.
Please. We have enough LibDem factions already; they will have to take a ticket and get in line.
One upside of the potentially imminent demise of the Labour Party would be an end to the Labour factions forever war (at least until it reappears with in or between the Greens and Lib Dems)

“…& it is a pattern with a long & inglorious history….”

“The implication is that lived experience is a source of contamination rather than data…a deeply paternalistic stance. Listening to patients is not a failure of scientific rigour; it is a prerequisite for it.”

Why does this petition need signing - because anything involving women’s breasts is somehow “adult content “ - the petition is about CPR
this should genuinely be a requirement for the perv glasses existing
Same pattern in UK polling. YouGov's last big poll on trans issues also indexed respondents' views on other social prejudices, and what do you know - pro-trans respondents were much more likely to recognise misogyny and see it as a problem, anti-trans respondents more likely to dismiss it!
So her interest in the jury bill isn't that austerity has deprived us all, only that it's inconvenienced her personally? As long as the state works for Jess Phillips why bother funding it to work for people who actually need justice?
Any British town that ends -chester or -cester means "fortified town of/on/by..." something
Removing trial by jury will not help victims, it'll create victims, and erode basic rights.
What's needed is better funding for the courts, and also in education to prevent people falling into crime in the first place.
"But there's no money."
TAX. THE. FUCKING. RICH.
The reviews used to justify this excluded nearly 97% of all studies from inclusion in their analysis. This is an absolutely obscene hatchet job by the NHS specifically created to eliminate access to hormones for trans youth.
Off-Topic, but: Double-Voting has been generally rising over time IIRC. Although 2025 was surprisingly low with 10.
As with most things, Pratchett had the explanation for the lack of money in the arts
Yeah, it's one of those things that when people look at the IMDB entry for it they realise it's absolutely FULL of all of the top British talent of the Era.
LOL, proving Andrew's point
I worry that if I watched it again it wouldn't be as good as my 30 year old memories of it...
