I’m so fed up of politicians denying the NHS the resources it needs to save lives, deflecting blame elsewhere, and then funnelling more and more money into private company hands. It’s grotesque. Patients are dying.
Still one of my absolute favourite Rik Mayall performances. Both my sons were introduced to this awesomeness about 10 years ago and loved it (YouTube)
The Conservative party accuses Keir Starmer of refusing to take child abuse seriously.
In other news, here's former Conservative Prime Minister Boris Johnson complaining about £60 million being "spaffed up the wall" investigating historic child abuse cases
Labour today announce the largest increase in private sector contracts seen in a while.
The cash cow will continue to be milked.
Money corrupts.

My son has just said that Stephen Fry looks like all 3 of the blokes from Top Gear and now I can’t unsee it
One of the toxic side-effects of the rise in transphobia is this:
Any time I see an org that says it's about "women's rights" or focused on women in some way, I now stop and think, "do you mean ALL women's rights? Or just cis women?"
And that fucking sucks.
“Mummy,is Santa real?”
“No darling,the truth is Santa is a twinkling idea,made up of mummies & daddies & people who love you all working together to create magic” *whispering “But you must never never tell the secret because Krampus will hunt you down and devour you alive” *glances outside nervously
She was there before Elvis, Little Richard or Johnny Cash swiveled their hips and strummed their guitars. If you've never heard Sister Rosetta Tharpe, the godmother of rock 'n' roll, you should.
This is spectacular. The way the white and black have been used is fantastic and really brings it to life. It’s a Wonderful Picture ✨
A character from Emperor's New Groove says to a llama remember to include the trans community in your holiday celebrations after all Christmas without hrts is just C All ismus.
Whoever made this, I salute you and your shorts.
The SANTA PLEASE STOP HERE signs really annoy me. Guys, he’s done the list, he’s packed the gear. This is a guy who lives and breathes logistics. Too late for this bullshit
Please don’t pick on people who still believe in Santa
I know people who still believe washing your hands prevents airborne viruses
It's genuinely sick that they are consulting groups that openly want to wipe trans people out on our healthcare. Beyond evil. How are these vile people not held to account
No way who could have seen this coming I definitely haven't been warning people about this for more than two years.
Wanted to watch a cosy christmas film, spent way to long choosing, decided I didn’t fancy any of them so watching the very festive Tremors
1. In a major development, the first national consensus guidelines for trans youth have been released in France.
They recommend affirmation and medical care, denounce "wait and see."
They refute much of the Cass Review.

Tubes of tomato paste sold in Asda, Tesco, Morrisons and Waitrose
If you are buying these brands of tomato paste, you need to know they are being made using forced labour in China, not even Italian tomatoes as claimed on labels. See the article for some other brands outside the UK.

Professor and Mrs. Tolkien request the pleasure of your company on Wednesday, November 21st, 1945, to assist them in celebrating the coming of age of their son Sub-Lieutenant C.J.R. Tolkien, Royal Navy Reserve 6:30 PM onwards RSVP if not coming postscript: - carriages at midnight - ambulances at 2 AM - wheelbarrows at 5 AM - hearses at daybreak
I can take or leave LOTR, The Silmarillion, what have you, but if he wrote nothing other than the postscript to this invitation card, J.R.R. Tolkien would have a secure place in history.
You can tell these Christmas lights are British because setting 8 suggests you might have become over-excited by the first 7 settings & need to damn well get a grip of yourself.
hot ones but it's me interviewing a succession of uncles from rural ireland while handing them increasingly outrageous receipts for pints of guinness i've bought in central dublin
That is the perfect description of how they smell
I have had to claim PIP 3 times now as I have been housebound for 9 years with M.E. The process is horrific and dehumanising and I now have what’s known as brown envelope anxiety. Last time I recieved one I sobbed with relief when I opened it and it wasn’t from the DWP
👏👏👏This!

lady of sophistication @janky_jane Props to anyone who tries to be fashionable in ireland i wore a red beret once in waterford and someone called me super mario Andrew Beatty V @AndrewBeatty Replying to @janky_jane I once ordered a taxi in Belfast for a night out. The driver pulls up to my house and just says "yer not going out like that. Go back in and change, I'll turn off the metre." | swear I was wearing normal jeans and a normal jacket.
Matthew @MrWeir Replying to @janky jane I once wore a silver jacket to college, turned up late for class, said 'sorry I'm late', lecturer said, 'that's ok' then waited til I was halfway across the front of the full class before following up with 'trouble with the spaceship again was it?'. Replying to @janky _jane My sister was in France sporting a new trench coat, thought was so stylish, but went into an Irish bar and got called Inspector Gadget by the first guy that saw her 15:53 • 8/16/21 • Twitter Web App
was wearing my super-fashionable short trench coat. My friend took one look at me wearing the jacket and said, "Where are we off to now. Columbo?" Eoin O Neill @eoinjoneill Replying to @janky_jane Was wearing a vintage nike jacket in a very long que for drinks at a boxing match when a Belfast lad goes "furk me this is taking forever, your man has been here since the 80's"
Loic Wright @dufflest Replying to @janky jane I wore a suit with a matching tie and pocket square to my first day of work at an advertising company (I thought I was going to be in Mad Men I guess) and the staff sent around and signed a communion card for me with a fiver in it. Eóin O Coileáin @L20_MTN Replying to @janky_jane I wore a white, wool turtle-neck jumper to the match once and a fella in the pub said 'Where have you parked the U-boat?'.
nobody does more brutal fashion reviews than the irish
