Dear god.
This is horrendous. We could at least console ourselves, before, with the Pelicot case being an anomaly... not so, it would appear.

Neither of the two cinemas in lincoln are playing the Richard Linklater Nouvelle Vague film. They ARE, however, playing the bloody stupid Melania Trump 'documentary.'
Very depressing.

When my baby brother said he was joining the army, I didnt get why. When he said he was off to Afghanistan, I panicked.When he came back, unscathed, and ultimately left the forces, I'm not going to lie, I was relieved.
I'm now sat on a train, trying *desperately* not to cry at James O'Brien's...

This is one of the strangest and most screwed-up stories I’ve worked on. www.londoncentric.media/p/tiktok-lon...
Who's secretly filming fake TikToks inside Londoners' homes?

Not a statesman. Not strong. Not patriotic. Not principled.
Farage is a traitorous little shit who is too compromised and too desperate to please Trump, to serve the best interests of our country. He will only ever betray us because he has to see Brexit through to the bitter, broken end.

One of my favourite things about the run up to xmas is me & my brother spotting, photographing & sending one another pictures of VERY heavily decorated houses.
We affectionately call it 'tacky wrongness'
I'm not keeping up my end at the minute... I need to find some.
This is what he's sent me. 😍
