Book Quote Wednesday & the word is UNBELIEVABLE. And in Cursed Under London, Honkensby the swan cop can't believe our heroes believed they'd be safe from her pursuit of them by going to Deep London. They don't BELIEEVE IT! #BookSky #BookQW Buying links: farragobooks.com/book-series/...
Quote from Cursed Under London. Quote reads: Honkensby swore to herself. The suspects weren’t hiding after all. They must have already escaped. The New Cross tube, after all, was but a short walk away. She’d posted a couple of guards there when she’d started the search, but they could have already fled down there while she was wasting her time at the Pegasus. They must have snuck Deepside, where for all its many fraught dangers down there they might believe the long wing of Upper London’s law couldn’t reach them. Honkensby took a deep, calming breath, and hung her Seal of the Upper Crown’s Special Diplomatic Protection around her long neck. Any thieves or villains who believed Captain Isobel Honkensby would shy away from pursuing a royally mandated case into the Deepside were, frankly, stupid. She just hoped they weren’t stupid enough to get themselves killed first.

This one takes MUCH less time than that waste of a day AI one, in case you did that & it put you off because you don't have hours to repeatedly tell the gvt 'bad things are bad'. This'll take you about half an hour.

Just did this. The Amnesty advice is very useful as naturally the official document is stodgy and many of the questions are leading (eg one that basically asks "What other barriers can we put up?" and you can choose not to answer it but you can't say "None")

Mock up of a Guardian opinion article but as though written by Seymour Skinner, accompanied by his picture. "Ignore the smears: I had always planned to serve mouth-watering steamed hams at this luncheon. "Seymour Skinner "It's a regional dialect. Upstate New York. Oh, no, you wouldn't have heard it in Utica. It's an Albany expression. "'Aurora borealis' turns out to be house fire as elderly woman rescued from flames."

It feels a bit of a shame that at a point where journalism is a desperately needed weapon in the fight against a deadly billionaire class it's being systematically dismantled by them except the bit that churns out What If A Cookie Is Actually Bad?? takes.

A version of the Wes Streeting 'I never knew Peter Mandelson well' opinion column. Photo is of my cat. Text reads: Ignore the smears: I was never on the kitchen table, and I am deeply concerned about the cultural moral failing of going on tables. I was only in the kitchen in the 1st place to prevent other cats from jumping on the table. That sound you heard was me doing something else. An additional 'linked' headline reads: Scientists study reappearance of mysterious cat-like wet footprints on surface of table, despite assurances that cat ‘knows it’s naughty’ to go on the table.

The Wes Streeting article rewritten to be by Carter Burke, villain in 1986 film Aliens Opinion Ignore the smears: The colony of Hadley's Hope is fine. We at Weyland-Yutani are building better worlds. I know nothing about these bug rumours. Carter Burke I know nothing about any ship called Nostromo vanishing and that was before I was born anyway. Burke is currently missing on a a trip to Hadley's Hope, previously known as LV-426, with an unnamed civilian specialist and a platoon of United States Colonial Marines Mon 9 Feb 2026 18.15 GMT

Reposting with alt text (because I don’t like to repost screenshots without it). What Reform are threatening here is exactly Trump’s approach. The UK has watched that situation unfold with mounting horror. We can do better.
