Honestly anything starting with “Nigel Farage says” can be treated the same way as Heated Rivalry: It’s not *for* or talking to me, the interesting results are how it affects the targeted interest groups.

The world must boycott the World Cup and the Olympics.
It is both the only moral choice and will actually get the attention of these dead-eyed clout demons.

There’s going to come a point when “more effective at being a right wing party than the previous conservative government” is not going to be something the Labour Party is proud enough of to be their entire social media and electoral platform. I do hope it’s soon.

Also it should be called Sharkilage.
Sharks absolutely get cancer, and people claiming otherwise are pseudoscientific grifters preying on the desperate.
Even if sharks did not get cancer, eating shark would not cure your cancer any more than eating LeBron James would make you better at basketball.

One of my tasks today is that I have to look at 9 elderly photos of Data Centre cabinets and identify which photos have 48 port Netgear routers in them. Finally, a tech industry job that can't be taken by AI!

I got shunted out of the eligibility group for the NHS vaccine service this year - no, my risk hasn't changed - so looks like I'll be finding a private one once I get paid again.
After a long pause, I've just done another England Covid & NHS update as we head into the autumn/winter season.
TLDR: we're in a significant Covid wave now, the NHS is stretched, get boosted if you're eligible.
