all very reminiscent of how Brett Kavanaugh’s life was going to be “ruined” if he didn’t get to be on the Court over a few measly sexual assaults

"Oh so there's no path to redemption?" Sure there is. Most paths to redemption don't run through the U.S. Senate, though. Go, live a good life. Farm oysters. Diminish and go into the East and be an always improving Graham Platner. Do not be a Senator. And remove that fucking tat.

If you see a post from a 1-person micro business (even if only a sideline business) give them at least a repost?

Those people are working hard to make a success, and usually have FAR higher ethical values than corporations.

How hard is it for you to do a repost?

I'm not a politician – I don't have voters to keep happy. I'm not a journalistic commentator – I don't have a readership to keep happy.

I just make comments. That's it.

So here's another comment: on the basis of Peston's Lam interview, he should be fired and be made to clear his desk immediately.

Probably not as it would do far more to get cars off the road, & resulting positive impact on transition from fossil fuels, health, & roads maintenance would more than cover it

Would be far better, less bureaucracy & equitable just to remove VAT & include e-bikes.

It's a crap scheme though that benefits higher rate tax payers a lot more.
The self employed or those not able to work can't access it. Also the employer has to be signed up for it.
A govt scheme for interest free loans for bikes and essentials for all would be far better.
Also scrap vat on bikes

Mike Graham tried to troll me once by pointing out to his numbskull acolytes that I use a pen name.

It was all going so well... until I pointed out that his real name is Archibald.

Hilarity ensued.

Looking at it, the image in the second photo was taken a second or two later than the one posted to twitter as a few of the people are in slightly different positions.

Amazing hacker being able to find a second photo on Mike's phone taken straight after the first.

Lets bust some NHS worker myths shall we (based on real travel surveys).
75-80% do not work shifts
0nly a third need to travel between sites.
76% drive to work on their own.
60% live less than 5 miles from work.

Britain is in a really, really dark place.

It also shows that once you start deporting people, you very quickly get to this place

People who are generally upset with how their lives are going, and also feel there are too many people around who look different, can never actually be appeased.

Not by Brexit, not by eliminating FoM, not by new taxes or fees, not by ending ILR, not by denaturalizing not by anything.

First question defence lawyer should ask each of these ‘nurses’

“Why did you go to the media before instigating proceedings at the Tribunal?”

Let Naomi Cunningham cough and splutter for them, but MAKE these christo-fascist fuckers answer the question.

Their claim should then be struck-out.
