The Nissan Figaro’s immense desirability comes in part from its convertible roof, but it does have some downsides. I, for one, cannot see how Luke, Clyde, Maria, and K-9 managed to all fit inside. If you’d like to see the full video, comment ‘PIKE’ below.

Very true, and so little understood and appreciated.
I think some of the pushback against masking was driven by fear of solidarity taking root, and the backlash also has buried this remarkable fact of how well we responded, and that the economy not only didn’t crater, it led worldwide growth.

“My judgment was that Britain’s messy parliamentary democracy would be more effective in error-correcting than Brussels’ bureaucracy, in the long run”
- maybe what was needed was a clearer understanding of how the EU makes decisions & why this system often does a better job than the UK Government?

Even Brexiters are beginning to acknowledge the damage Brexit has done to the economy, and Westminster needs to catch up. Facing reality is the first step towards repairing the harm and rebuilding a serious relationship with Europe.
We Brexiteers must acknowledge the costs of leaving Europe
Breaking free from the EU has undoubtedly deepened the UK’s malaise, and it’s no use denying it

Amen, @zoegrunewald.bsky.social! Just like with planning law, which we have discussed before, the rights of those who do not *already own property* never, ever feature.
Some sympathy for this potentially made up woman but I wonder how the poster feels about the numerous people who would love to be able to call a house their own and form relationships with their neighbours but can't because of the housing market. Does their emotional plea count for anything?
Mumsnet is already on the case.

This is an important article. All the guddling around misses the main problem, Brexit has made us all poorer and we need to get back into the EU. But the fact is I simply don't see any actual appetite to do that in UK politics, but Scotland can choose a different path.
