Oh look, the right wing establishment are deleting their memories, throwing out their own convictions and circling the wagons to protect one of their own again, almost as if none of this matters to them as long as they can keep owning the libs in their little columns
These lads are going to get in trouble for making all of their journo colleagues look like gormless fucking idiots, quite frankly

If it comes up and nothing has changed in the next ten years I can't say I won't be off, either
I'm not sure how much it is appreciated that there will be significant emigration coming. Those here on graduate visas coming to an end, the toughening up of skilled worker rules re. salaries/sponsorable roles and the 'earned settlement' changes to come. Lots of people are going to leave.

Love how a comforting old, long discontinued podcast series I had downloaded in its entirety to my phone for some gentle, happy listening now somehow has very, very fucking loud adverts for Formula 1 on Sky Sports in it #thefuture #sexinthemoon #brexit

It's a KC Interface error here - keyboard to chair
A colleague of mine introduced me to the acronym PICNIC from their other half who works in IT. Means 'Problem In Chair, Not In Computer'.

This country seems to have a bottomless well of sympathy towards asset rich pensioners and only contempt for anyone under 50 who is putting half their income into paying their landlords fourth mortgage and a big chunk of the rest into skyrocketing bills.
Look it’s never nice to find yourself in a position of having to move when you don’t want to but given that due to the volatility of the London housing market I have had to move FIVE TIMES since 2020 I’m struggling to feel very sympathetic towards people whose ’problem’ is a paid off 2mil property.

I have three thoughts on the Budget: 1) EVs use roads, so should pay something to use them, and the fact that the existing fuel duty/road tax system is shite doesn’t somehow create an exception for them; 2) gambling firms moaning can fuck off into the sun, we should bankrupt the cunts;

Electric vehicles famously don’t use road surfaces or create congestion, of course
A mate of mine has calculated they will now pay an extra £900 per year for their EV.

Just had a brush by with Keir Starmer, I’d give it five minutes if I were you
BREAKING: Keir Starmer had a “brush by” with Chinese premier Li Qiang at G20 summit in Johannesburg at weekend - although reporters on trip were not told about this.
Understand this was a brief hello in leader’s lounge and nothing of substance was discussed.

The stuff on X about disinfo accounts reminds me of the time I tried to get a Cybernat account which was obviously Russian or something to say which was their favourite sketch character on "Naked Video" - something which any true Scot would be able to do but this particular account couldn't.

All this stuff about Farage peddling conspiracies with Alex Jones, people saying he was racist at school, his party is filled with Russian money, and he has questions to answer and fucking Hell, have we learned nothing? He won’t own up and no-one will make him, he’ll just glide off untouched, again

What does Lord Glasman think of those reel things you use to attach your ID to your belt? I use one of them, and it’s not a lanyard, but does he also blame them for the rise of trans humanism and the decline of the traditional working class?

Today’s pie dinner only slightly marred by a Pyrex jug exploding randomly with the force of 1000 suns and covering the oven, surfaces, floor and me with shards of broken glass. Sadly the mashed potato was on the job at the time, and also perished
