Baddest motherfucker in Tunbridge Wells

Was Perry Groves many years ago (not the football one)
Wait wait wait - this is a new $110k car that has body panel gaps, erratic drive modes and THE FRONT WHEEL NEARLY CAME OFF

Fuck me. You’d think that would be the headline?

Maybe I am missing something here but Labour’s “support us doing Reform things or you’ll get Reform” isn’t exactly a winning strategy when at least the half the voters go for centrist or left parties every election.
Shabana Mahmood on the BBC this morning talking about desperate people fleeing war and persecution as being given a "golden ticket" and "handouts" and saying she's got a "moral mission" to take them away from them

Indistinguishable from the rhetoric of Reform www.adambienkov.co.uk/p/shabana-ma...
Shabana Mahmood and the Politics of Extortion
Labour's strategy of telling its supporters to back Reform-style policies, or get a Reform Government, is the politics of the protection racket and it is not going to work

It’s actually kind of amazing - these people think life was better before Thatcher got into power whilst simultaneously venerating her.

Saying that there were things that were actually better in the 70’s - house prices, higher job security, cleaner rivers (outside of industrial areas) etc
Ah the 1970s.

Stagflation, three day weeks, collapsing infrastructure. Civil War in Northern Ireland. In yer face racism and bigotry everywhere. Bin strikes. Strikes in general. Blackouts. Industrial decline. Wage inequality. Dog crap everywhere. And households spent 25% of their income on food.

Many years ago I chatted with a remarkably well-connected bar manager. He knew all the royals personally (long story).

He was complimentary about Edward, Charles was boring and when I asked about Andrew his face turned serious and he said ‘If you ever have to have dealings with Andrew, run away’
LONDON (AP) — Buckingham Palace says King Charles III will strip Prince Andrew of remaining titles and evict him from royal residence.

Okay. So. Amazing scenes playing out at the vets when i arrived to pick up Napoleon.

Names changed/removed. But get ready for a lost kitty story with a happy ending.

It starts late last year, when the elderly neighbour of a young couple went into a care home /1

lets say a wizard has cursed you with a lot of money. you are going to become permanently brain damaged simply by being in possession of so much money. the only way out of it is to spend a lot of money on something ridiculous and not at all useful

what would you buy to break the curse?

It’s just…what problem is this solving? How will this reduce inflation? Improve growth? Increase productivity?

It won’t do any of these. All it’s doing is a pathetic attempt to appease the far right, whilst making things worse, not better.

There was a moment a few years ago on The Tuesday Club when Alan Davies said ‘Why can I remember the Arsenal score from a match in 1981 including the scorers and the time they scored and I can’t remember a single thing that I did last week’
If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

This can’t be said enough.
You don’t actually have to both sides this. The Jewish community in the UK is not the Israeli government. You can just condemn the murder of two British Jews killed in their place of worship and you don’t have to say a single other thing.

It’s been significantly funnier too
This qualifying session has now lasted longer than every grand prix this year.

The longest race was the Australian Grand Prix at an hour and 42 minutes.

Qualifying for the Azerbaijan Grand Prix started an hour and 47 minutes ago.

Been saying for years that the next US Civil War won’t start as “Left vs Right”, it’ll start as various Right factions start shooting at each other.

After that, it’s anyone’s guess what will happen
Nick Robinson on #R4Today completely failing to challenge the narrative that the Left are responsible for the political violence in USA.
The person who shot Donald Trump's ear was RW.
The person who killed Melissa + Mark Hortman was RW.
The person who shot Charlie Kirk was from a RW background.
