Nothing personal, but my new aim in life is to live long enough to see Leavitt et al in front of a court similar to the one held by the allies with the German Nazis in Nuremberg.

A man can have a dream.

As if she sat down and thought "how can i make certain, that every non-****y member of the electorate has an incentive to abandon Labour in favour of other progressive parties? I know!"

@youngvulgarian.marieleconte.com Did you finish Silksong? Thoughts? Would recommend?

I'm looking forward to Leavitt eventually testifying in front of a truth commission, Nuremberg trial take II, the Hague or similar

Blair missing an excellent opportunity to not remind us that he should be tried for war crimes in a just world.

MPs demand hotel security meeting after Travelodge sex attack A woman was sexually assaulted in her hotel bed after staff gave a man her room key card.

Thankfully this guy has been jailed for seven and a half years, but the frightening thing is Travelodge DEFENDED their actions, saying staff followed company policy

They're now reviewing it apparently, and MPs have written to the boss demanding a meeting

How Travelodge in Maidenhead gave sex attacker key to woman's room The woman, who woke to find Kyran Smith sexually assaulting her, branded a £30 reward offer

There was also this last week

How on earth do staff think it's OK to just give a woman's room key card to a guy who turns up at reception in the early hours of the morning??

She was checked in as a solo person!

'Oh but he knew her name so we gave him the card' WTAF

I've used Travelodge in the past as a simple, cost-effective way to stay somewhere overnight, but I won't be using them ever again - their security policies and duty of care (or lack of) are ridiculous

In his defence, he has no idea what he is talking about.

Who in their right mind steals English chocolate?!?

Belgian or Swiss certainly, but English?

If his punishment is a new book deal, the 'crime' is probably inevitable

Lithium can help with bipolar disorder (works for me), it cannot fix being stupid and radicalised and being of a cünty disposition, I am afraid.

Alxo, from a clerical point of view, co-prayer works better than single-prayer. It works the opposite way to health insurance

I imagine in Frankfurt, Newcastle or Maastricht their interaction would have been less "oh whatever, it is just a car".

I loved it.

I saw my "favourite accident" in Paris, many years ago

2 big, expensive cars hitting each other in dense traffic

2 late-middle-aged French men emerged. They chatted amicably for a minute, shrugged their shoulders a lot, laughed and drove off. No police, no insurance details. Just a shrug and a meh

We are off to Backus aan de grens tomorrow for kibbeling / lekkerbekje as well :-)

400g is a nice portion!
