As I said, I'd dearly love to see the first draft with all the swearing kept in.

The Brexit that we got was *the only kind of Brexit we were ever going to get* because the Four Freedoms are indivisible. Every single Leaver wanted to remove freedom of movement for people, and you can't do that without tanking the economy by removing it for goods, services and capital.

It does show that due diligence was followed in making the sovcit aware of the law, but you have a point.

Considering how many opa's claim to have been in the Resistance, it's remarkable that the Nazis were able to get any Dutch Jews at all.

Nerfed it. It now comes in square bags that are supposed to be ready in 2 minutes but are NEVER ready. If I wanted to drink a cup of hot water, I'd get Pickwick.

I don't know if you remember the talk.origins FAQ for arguing with creationists. It saves time just to respond to basic-ass boring assertions with "see FAQ, answer 4, next please"

Apparently the UK government was considering a mass cat cull. I seriously think that could have meant Boris Johnson's head on a stick.

UK cat cull was considered early in Covid crisis, ex-minister says

James Bethell says government considered whether all pet cats might have to be put down to contain virus

Does anyone know of a tea that's equivalent to the old pyramidal PG Tips, ie before they nerfed it?

I think the point is to expedite procedures when sovcits are in court for not paying their council tax. Pointing to the nice clear detailed FAQ that anyone can read will save the prosecution some time.

I was about to say this. I mean, obviously it's not great that so many people aren't angrier about what ICE is doing to human beings, but you kinda have to meet them where they are.

Fascinating thing about the Dutch obsession with asylum is that the Netherlands is running a unique experiment with two groups: non-European refugees, who are cooped up in abysmal conditions, excluded from everything and blamed for social disruption, petty crime and inciting far-right hooliganism …

I always thought there should be extra reds and blacks in each set because they're the ones that wear out first.

Yeah sorry, but for most use cases most of the year, I'm going to use a nice tin from Italy rather than waste my time with Scarlet Depression Globes.

Apparently slugs aren't a good food for hedgehogs because of all the liver flukes, and hedgehogs only eat them as a last resort. Dry kitten food is the best thing for the spikybois.

And look, I'm not having a go at Americans (although if any of you are seeing this now, Insomnia Club Represent). We ALL love our wildlife, and we all want to see it doing well and not harmed by people's ignorance. I only learned about pumpkins poisoning hedgehogs a year ago.

Yup. The USA is not the entire world, says the person who's occasionally been scolded for sharing a pretty picture of an "invasive" wildflower in the woods that is ACTUALLY NATIVE HERE

Some changes to immigration rules today, not just increasing English language requirements, mean migrants looking to live and work in UK will have to meet far far higher standards than British nationals, while paying vast sums to be allowed to do so. That isn't a system based on "fairness". 1/
