Pubs are important.
Our last remaining village pub was recently bought by a property developer. They wanted to turn it into a house. In what feels like a miracle the local council refused the planning application, and have forcefully stated that it’s got to remain as a pub. So…

The Times have gone fairly big on the Farage racism stuff today.
I don't think there's any doubt that it's true and given his politics today, it's crazy to argue that it doesn't matter.
So we're about to get a practical demonstration of how many people in the UK don't regard racism as a dealbreaker.

The UK, where the day after a decision to take half a million children out of poverty, the media & political world has been full of sneering at those same children & their families, labelling them as ‘Benefits Street’, while the same people are moaning about a tax on £2m mansions. Shameful stuff.

It sure would be good if Heath woke up one morning, went to his computer, opened a new document, and did not go on to wet and soil himself.

The latest budget was actually political genius because it has reminded me of how much I hate so many people in the British political establishment even more than I hate Starmer's Labour.

They’re arresting Native Americans. ICE is arresting the people who were actually Americans before Americans were Americans. Can Native Americans deport ICE agents back to Western Europe?

Starmer and Reeves are 'pro-growth' but only if that position remains hypothetical and doesn't involve doing anything potentially unpopular with racists that might actually, you know, lead to growth.
PM describes net migration of 205k as "a step in the right direction". His govt has no public position on a sustainable level of immigration is, nor any known process to decide what, why & how. Starmer is now implying he wants it significantly lower

The Beatles discourse reminds me of the two worst archetypes of music fandom:
The 'Beatles were everything and how DARE you suggest otherwise!' ultra-loyalist.
And 'the Beatles were shit' contrarian who will then reel of a bunch of stuff they like instead as if you don't like lots of that AS WELL.
