The manufactured hysteria about the banknote redesign is surely best shown by the fact that the Royal Mint replaced the standard issue of the national coinage a few years ago, replacing the segmented Royal Arms with similar animal motifs, and there was no backlash whatsoever.
Is this the same Andrew Neil who eviscerated Keir Starmer for not joining Trump's attack? It can't be, surely.
If Joe Biden had given these 20 Tomahawks to Ukraine 4 years ago we wouldn't be in this mess
www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... the audio here is genuinely jaw-dropping in the context of repeated claims from Polanski that the Sun interview was entrapment in which he was baited into saying things he didn't believe
Ian Hislop on have i got news for you laughter
well I heard that Polanski is pushing for a pair of Great Tits on the £5 note
I’m old enough to remember the outcry when Churchill was put *on* the banknotes (still wrong imo to put a figure some people still have a memory of on a bank note)
Quite, look at the bestseller lists!
market people are fucking hilarious you could tell them the moon was discovered to be made out of rare pokemon cards and they'd boost trading cards stock 90000%
UK specific reminder: when oil hit the 2008 high of around $145 the pound bought about two dollars.
March 8, 2026 - Tehran at sunrise today. But the sun is hidden behind a sky filled with smoke. After a night of intensive strikes on oil facilities, thick black clouds now hang over the city, turning morning into something that feels like night.
Crying at this 😭

I find it so tragic how the responses to this imagine we have something to do in the current conflict. If it was an event which we were involved in, or we started, some of this criticism would stand. But what should they be doing instead? (Ignoring this was probably 20 minutes of their time today)
I’ve always assumed it was the hats
Has he got a large tax bill or something
My mum said the other day quite unprompted “he’s very good but why is he suddenly in everything these days?!”
Also he looks like King Lear here
Feel like they just set up a room cos he couldn’t get to the pentagon or something
The rest of the world waking up to the fact that Shahed drones are callous inaccurate flying bombs designed to terrorise civilians, when Ukrainians have known that for 3 and a half years.
So jealous!! Bosh
Just such a complete extremist mentalist. Who loses out if a dead person chooses to donate to someone who couldn't have been a mother otherwise her womb?!? Nobody!
People posting that “we made it” 😵💫😵💫😵💫 you’re a FOOL
Oh I hadn’t thought about it like that. We have our bins taken twice a week so never had to deal with that. I could see that being a benefit. Just don’t want it sitting in my kitchen in 25 degree heat for most of the year and have to take it out daily

"...and there's been another arrest for misconduct in public office but for who Chris Kamara?"
the lyndon b johnson campaign’s “in your guts you know he’s nuts” response to barry goldwater’s “in your heart you know he’s right” in the 1964 presidential election. all timer imo
I think small tv is upper class rather than middle class
Wooden floors. Posh.
