British Trans person. Recovering Haribo addict. Current Cava sponge. Countdown is now on to getting the fuck out of Dodge Island before the gammon take over. Apropos of nothing, I'm currently learning Python Coding and Spanish.

Very interesting, and the cost breakdown at the end is interesting. It's very expensive per mile compared to conventional high speed trains. But still waaaaayyy fucking cheaper than HS2! Can we start chanting "monorail" whenever we hear HS2 mentioned? #HS2 #Maglev

Whodathunkit!? I'm having to explore taking my no-longer-mutually-recognised professional qualifications again in Ireland, so that I can find work in the EU come 2029 when the fascists get in.

Wossy got away with that, where there were 2 people attesting 'You definitely said this'. Wow #CelebrityTraitors

It's joyous on first reading and that's what matters. 👍🏻😁

I like it as a joke. But the nerd inside has big issues with the technicalities.

Just realised my professional refrigeration qualifications are worth fuck all if I want to move to Spain. So I've got to try and get them again in the EU. Going to try Ireland as my Spanish is conversational at best and not technical. Another Brexit benefit.

I wrote a lovely poem about the good old days, to go with the nice pink one off Facebook that's quoted below.

The Good Old Days

Tuberculosis, ricketts
Polio and smog
He kicked the wife for five days
On weekends kicked the dog
The choir boys were fiddled with
The priest put round the plate
And then those lads went off to war
And mental health was great.
My gran made broth with only bone
She couldn't afford cheese
And several of her kids died
From preventable disease
Wasn't allowed a bank account
Couldn't get a job
Tuberculosis, ricketts
Polio and smog.

Of course, but it's the first and only time something like that bothered my liking of an artist. Never liked Elvis and can take or leave Michael Jackson.

Does this mean I can listen to the Liberation Transmission album again? Love the art, hate the artist and all that. I loved that album.

Will UK taxpayers get their £122m back from PPE Medpro?

The high court told the company linked to Michelle Mone to pay up over the supply of defective gowns, but there appears no clear route to reclaim the funds

this high quality gag came from someone who is also here but as he hasn’t posted it himself I assume he doesn’t want to be tagged to share in the glory

Farage is being interviewed. He says “I WAS ABOUT 14 AND IT WAS OVER THE PHOTO OF EVA BRAUN”. The interviewer says “ERM... I ASKED YOU ABOUT THE WEST BANK”

Happy Friday, Antifa warriors! 🥂🩵

Funny meme with a picture of an "Antifa" headquarters that reads:

Just got to my desk at Antifa. I can't believe Karen in HR scheduled the mandatory Molotov cocktail safety training today.
Nobody feels like that shit on a Friday.

I mean I know they're all frightful, but this is a bit harsh. #Wales

It does though. It really does. You could say it doesn't (at a stretch) if Reform's other policies were benevolent, compassionate and decent. But they are all horrific. At best you MAY not be racist, instead you are another form of bigot who wants to hurt "Others."

The Guardian @theguardian.com · 17d

Supporting Reform’s ‘racist policy’ does not make voters racist, says Rachel Reeves – UK politics live

Chancellor backs Keir Starmer’s statement that policy to end indefinite leave to remain is racist, but says many Reform supporters would be ‘horrified’ by it Q: You are saying you don’t call supporters of Reform racist. But it looks as if you don’t understand people’s concerns. Reeves says the government should call out policies that are wrong. Continue reading...

Share this now everyone! - Trans people are getting up in the early hours of the morning so they can cause all the traffic jams and take all the best parking spots at work. They should be banned from leaving the house until 10am on weekdays, and have their own Trans parking spots!
