Christ alive. If we, as a nation, can’t do better than this nasty, stale-breathed, stale-minded, racist misogynist prick, then what the hell are we doing? Leading in the polls??
FFS. Sort yourself out, UK.

Because he feels uncomfortable about his position on Putin, he replies to her…

‘Listen love, you’re trying ever so hard….’

Trickle-down economics was always a sham.

Nothing has ever trickled down.

I went to Bournemouth and Boscombe Athletic FC v Brighton and Hove Albion FC on 1st April 1972. The longest fixture name?

I was going to close up some shutters, but moved them slightly and saw this little bat sleeping. I quickly put the shutter back after getting the pic.

What the hell is Starmer thinking of by over-riding operational police decisions? Has he had enough of experts now as well?

I bet he didn't speak to any Handsworth residents, he probably would have found they mostly have Birmingham accents.

We had peafowl a few years back, sure they can fly!

Nigel Farage now says that any suggestion he's been soft on Putin is "just nonsense".

Here's a quick reminder of what he's said in the past

I have ridden one. I did a charity LEJoG in the 80s for Friends of the Earth. About 200 riders. One had a Pedersen, which he let me have a go on. Another did it on a Flying Gate!

From memory (I retired 10 years ago) the hate crime recording procedures were introduced after a number of incidents of serial anti social behaviour were not picked up by police due to poor recording. Some of the series culminated in serious crime, or suicide. Streamlining needed not abolition.

My son found a good one at his place recently.

I've just been to Copenhagen and saw a guy riding a Pedersen. Now I want one.

With more defibrillators set to be installed, it’s also important that everyone learns how to use these devices.

I’m urging Londoners to watch our short training video on how to perform CPR and use a defibrillator to step in and assist in an emergency:

Saw it in Copenhagen last week. Can you take me off the list too please?

It's been dry here for a couple of weeks now. The surrounding bare soil fields have gone from brown to off white, and the cucurbits are ripening nicely, and neatly.
