The Plate Licked Clean @platelickedclean.bsky.social · 12d

New on the blog...
Can't remember the last time I enjoyed a new place this much (not in #Cardiff, anyway)
Went 3x last week, tipped a few off, everyone who has already been has loved it.
You need to know about this place. (The next Lahore, perhaps..?)

Does the AI industry get it's electricity free too? Maybe all industries shouldn't have to pay for their raw materials either? Or here's a better idea - Nick Clegg could get his head out of his arse.

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

What’s the correct name for someone who is paid public money to represent UK citizens in Parliament but instead chooses to go before a Congressional Hearing in the US to slag off the UK and urge Trump’s government to take action against us?

The way Tice keeps going on about this, you'd almost think he'd received £2.3m from people with links to fossil fuels and climate change denial. Oh, hang on...

And by ‘practical plan’ you mean the illegal one that didn't work, cost £700m with a projected total cost of £10bn and only resulted in three people being paid £3k each to go to Rwanda. That practical plan?

Farage and the far right in general come from a grievance culture. If you do what they want, even maximally – Brexit – they’ll move the goalposts and keep moaning. If you engage seriously with their concerns, they’ll find new ones. You will never satisfy them, because they don’t want to be satisfied

Paul Bernal @paulbernal.bsky.social · Jun 19

The problem with this ‘let’s weaken our commitment to the ECHR so as to fend off Farage’ plan is that when it doesn’t work, we end up with Farage *and* a weakened commitment to the ECHR at exactly the moment we need the ECHR the most.

Looking for uncompromisingly spiced Sri Lankan cooking, hefty portions and value for money? Fresh on the blog, it's Canton's new Cuisines Negombo.

Says the man who gave us the biggest tax burden since the War, highest ever national debt, largest fall in living standards on record and committed the biggest act of self-harm in our history with Brexit. Time to shut the fuck up you shambling oaf.

"worth reminding ourselves who is in favour of this deal & who is against it. In favour are all of our allies - the US, NATO, Five Eyes, India. Against it - Russia, China, Iran. Surprisingly, the Leader of the Opposition & Nigel Farage are in that column alongside Russia, China & Iran”
