JIMMY!

But seriously, if you want to know why British people of a certain age are like they are then this is it. Basically we had a wartime propaganda dept called the Central Office of Information that lasted until 2011, that pumped out this nightmare fuel

Worse, for him anyway, is that he's fading into irrelevance. I think he'll keep going but to lower and lower and more humiliating numbers, and that's a torture the narcissist deserves.

It's not going to last. You can do a deal on property and that's it done, it's sorted. Peace in the Middle East and the disastrous impacts of colonialism don't get fixed this easily, especially when the leaders of Israel and the US are certifiably insane.

Hey @lukepollard.bsky.social

Have a look at my thread about Derriford. I’m the woman who was in touch with you about ferrying Nigerian care workers home due last year’s race riots

Meanwhile - St George flags besmirch Forder Valley on the way up to Derriford & the REI, where so many people 1/2

Anyway - the stellar staff we have seen include:

Dr Abu from The Sudan (fled to get to Egypt when a kid, now a wonderful doctor)
Joy from Malaysia who sped around Resus for 12 hours without pause
Nurses Elizabetta & Esitio on The Medical ward
Dr Hasan on call
Julietta from Poland who makes + tea

2/2 What concerns me is that she will be discharged without long enough monitoring & with a 10 month wait until ablation is possible & we’re back to square one.

It’s a hellhole there (staff doing their best etc )

Yesterday my etsy shop had preciously one view. (And i think that was probably me) If you like my stuff please repost. An eccentric millionaire with lots of empty wall space could be scrolling your timeline right now. marswasrubbish.etsy.com/listing/1579...

One of my prints “And now we’ll abseil down the other side” Shows a mountain that’s actually a monster with abseilers on top of it.

When a nation is conditioned to dehumanise others, it's themselves that lose their humanity. Israel is broken and corrupted by decades of self-dehumanisation, and that's something they're unlikely to face directly any time soon. While they don't then violence will always be near.

I think that song is a distant cousin of this one in a way, dunno if you can hear it. A different vibe but also not.

They're absolutely not fascists, never have been. I guess the bug clue there is their sense of humour!

I'll not be watching again. A shame, it's a good laugh.

And low key hilarious of course!

It is! I shared this one recently, one of my favourites and - as is often the case - a significant improvement on the original!

Excellent choice. They're masters of the cover version, always bringing something new out of old familiar songs.

Ahhh, thanks for reminding me of this, it's proper soothing.

It's like lauding the Zodiac killer for stopping his serial killing. I mean, great, the murder ends, but maybe don't do the fucking murders in the first place? A bunch of psychopaths.

What on earth is going on in that picture? It looks like fun, standing in your pants, painted red, waving a pink union jack but I do wonder why? That said, do I need to understand? No. You do whatever you like, young lady.

Keira Knightley denies knowing anything about the Rowling controversy before taking a Harry Potter gig but then surprises us all by expressing a unifying sentiment worthy of Martin Luther Fucking King or the Dalai Cunting Lama. Bless.

They're kissing his big, fat, wobbly, Nazi arse. I guess it's all roses for them.

I wrote about a hundred potential replies here, all trying to process how my part of Glasgow has responded to these decades of brutality.
There's a great tension.
