So to summarise: You failed to take out the regime. You failed to destroy nuclear material. You failed to eradicate Iran's retaliatory capacity. You brought chaos to the Middle East. You killed god knows how many people. You destabilised your own economy. All for nothing, but the ego of madman.
Boiled piss. The face of.
It is extremely difficult to construct a practical case against this position. Net Zero is now as much about patriotism as it is about climate change.
"Two things one seldom hears about getting older: one’s ears get larger and one’s dick gets smaller."
@emmavj.bsky.social interviews reluctant national treasure Alan Bennett, who observes that if he stabbed Judi Dench with a pitchfork, "I should still be a teddy bear".
The Bank of England is replacing Winston Churchill with a picture of a beaver on our bank notes. This is the definition of woke.
Last Post on this.
Churchill has only been on the £5 since September 2016. Before that it was Elizabeth Fry the prison reformer.
Did Farage call her removal woke too?
This isn't some ancient tradition but Farage is ridiculous. And that statement is timeless
Very few of us would guess that the Monarch did not appear on a banknote until 1963, with Shakespeare the first non-Royal in 1970. Just 12 people had appeared on notes by 2005
Actually, still does. Just less of it, because Angries, y'know...

Hurrah!
After the fall, they'll find a serious work by a serious artist and it will be called "Trump Is Dancing" and it will be held up for however long it's needed to rebuild, and then, maybe a century later, maybe a decade, some Angries will come an tear it down again. #TrumpIsDancing
Note - If Switzerland things your war is illegal you are screwed. Switzerland. They didn't even express an official opinion on Hitler.

Jeremy Bowen presented this essay as an audio package on Today this morning. It is a really brilliant piece and something that BBC News can do really well — solid, direct, historically grounded analysis. No gimmicks www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

From early call boxes to the Post Office Tower, the story of how Britain's phone network was built over the course of 100 years, and its impact on the public.
I cannot believe anyone who uses AI would ever conceive of doing it for her.
TBF, they're not just their soles; they're ours, too... #hashtagbleedingobvious
Dunno. The gifs selection & alt-text in Bluesky is terrible.

Wakeup? Eey-oop!
The rabbits stand for honesty
Herons are insincere
And the buffalo are kindly but they're dumb
Reared venison are skeptical
Of changes in their cages
And the gamekeeper is very fond of rum
Badgers are reactionaries

Pigeons plot in secrecy
And hamsters turn on frequently
Funny is back.
BE FUNNY OR DIE will rise again.
E-book and audiobook available now…
