Further thought on this. The issue for anyone involved with Amy is how do you know she’s not influencing you. But we know the ring bearers can’t affect each other. So, is she married to one we’ve not met yet?
Last week Trump said he didn't need Britain's help because he'd already won this war. So we mustn't let him push the UK around now.
Any decision on the deployment of our Armed Forces should be made in the UK's national interest and subject to a vote in Parliament.
(1) The accused declared, ordered, or otherwise indicated that there shall be no survivors or surrender accepted; (2) The accused thereby intended to threaten an adversary or to conduct hostilities such that there would be no survivors or surrender accepted; (3) It was foreseeable that circumstances would be such that a practicable and reasonable ability to accept surrender would exist; (4) The accused was in a position of effective command or control over the subordinate forces to which the declaration or order was directed; and (5) The conduct took place in the context of and was associated with hostilities.

Apropos of SecDef's remarks this morning:
Denial of quarter—even the declaration of no quarter—is a war crime.
And recognized as such by the US Government.
From DoD's Manual for Military Commissions.
You’ve know got me wondering. We know Amy is married and not to Adam. I thought we had known who it was, but you’ve never named them, so now I’m not sure.
"To summarize the summary of the summary: people are a problem."
On governance and who gets to do it.
This week Parliament debated the Representation of the People Bill. While there are positive elements to it, frankly, it does nowhere near enough to deal with overseas interference in our democracy, to reform our terrible voting system, or to reform the House of Lords into a worthy second chamber.
Again, a (rhetorical) question: if this were not 25th amendment territory: what on earth *would* be?
Given Trump's illegal war that is devastating the Middle East and pushing up energy bills, Keir Starmer should advise the King to call off April’s state visit to the US.
A state visit should not be given to someone who repeatedly insults and damages our country.
We are at war because Trump is a pedophile and Republicans don’t mind he’s a pedophile.
There is nothing patriotic about outsourcing Britain’s foreign policy to Donald Trump.
Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage want Britain to blindly follow Trump into his reckless war - even though the President has no plan for what comes next.
Truth social post from Donald Trump: The United Kingdom, our once Great Ally, maybe the Greatest of them all, is finally giving serious thought to sending two aircraft carriers to the Middle East. That’s OK, Prime Minister Starmer, we don’t need them any longer — But we will remember. We don’t need people that join Wars after we’ve already won! President DONALD J. TRUMP
The Prime Minister must stand firm against Trump’s bullying and avoid getting sucked further into this illegal and damaging war.
I see Farage is off to Mar-a-Lago to talk down Britain and suck up to Trump.
There's nothing patriotic about cheering on a foreign leader whose illegal war is sending British families’ energy bills through the roof.
Excellent. The discharge, not the possession
This is not the cake I was looking for!
The nature of human rights is that they apply to, you know, all humans
Our “we’re not grifters btw” post has many people asking questions answered by our “we’re not grifters btw” post
FYI for fellow narrative designers/game writers: the studio in question is Sentona Games and it’s my understanding they are currently interviewing to replace me. Be very careful with them. They were very nice to me and easy to work with right up until I needed the money I was promised.
This IPSO adjudication against the Telegraph is quite something
Confirms their story titled: ‘We earn £345k, but soaring private school fees mean we can’t go on five holidays’ was completely fabricated, with the family involved non-existent and stock pictures used

Remember: what Trump and his administration are doing is only possible because Congress and the Supreme Court have abdicated their proper constitutional functions of check and balance.
Oh for a Quentin and a Yasmin.
Is the Adam/Ian offspring Xander or Zander?
So, in launching a huge bombing campaign on Iran they apparently didn't plan for:
- Who takes over;
- Interceptor shortages from sustained drone retaliation;
- How to defend US bases in the region;
- Threats to ships in the Strait of Hormuz; and
- How to evacuate Americans with airspace closed.
Abysmal, immoral, cruel, small hearted, tiny minded, ineffective, undemocratic, and just generally utterly indecent. What a bitter godforesaken disappointment these people are.

Dan Simmons, noted racist, has died. He wrote Hyperion, which contained a good short story and then a lot of other words, which many of us read anyway because it was the Nineties and Waldenbooks had a limited science fiction section.
Somebody’s trained an AI using episodes of ‘Allo ‘Allo.
I’ll happily take mushrooms off your hands. Someone else will have to deal with the celery, though.
This 'correction' from @lewisgoodall.com regarding accusations from Reform and the Conservatives that the Greens engaged in sectarianism, deserves to be widely read.

Not wrong, though
He's part of a British tradition all the way back to Hastings.
Our party has just come third in Gorton and Denton, a previously safe Labour seat - an area where we haven't lost an election since 1931.
It is those running our party who are to blame. We need change at the top and serious lessons need to be learnt:
