New wedding ring usually comes with a new husband/wife tho.

Well it's independent to the extent that they presumably couldn't import or allow for sale in, say, Norway stuff that's against rules and standards set by Brussels.

Bingo!

That took me two minutes.
I feel old and dim.

No. You *assumed* that’s what I vibe. You asked. I told you it wasn’t.
This is getting too dull for words. I’m muting you know.

On the one hand we've got possibly the biggest outrage since Lord knows when.
On the other we've got Ben wanting to talk about "what's Mandie being gay has got to do with anything?"
But you do you. Have a nice evening.

That's exactly it.
The bloke brigade will come along any minute with "Well, ackshooally, I think you'll find ..", highlighting some minutiae that has nothing whatsoever to do with the scandal we're all talking about...

Sigh. Never mind.

As an older gay man I hope they lock him up and throw away the key. But it's ironic he's done for financial misdemeanours with Epstein while those who raped children are unmolested.
February 3, 2026 at 7:07 PM
Other than it seems unlikely he's been involved in any sexual abuse of female children, you mean?
February 3, 2026 at 7:05 PM
Well spotted the man. I can see there's very little that slips past your intellect.
February 3, 2026 at 7:04 PM
Let me rephrase: “Would just be a sign of our times somehow that the only people who go to prison as a result of their involvement with Epstein and his child sexual abuse”
February 3, 2026 at 6:43 PM
No.
What I pointed out was that the rich men up to their necks in it seem to be getting away with it.

Would just be a sign of our times somehow that the only people who go to prison as a result of the child sexual abuse are a woman and a gay man.

That's reductio ad absurdum. Unless you can point me to any country providing free tertiary education that spends infinite amounts on it. Which one was it?
February 2, 2026 at 11:12 PM
This is all very, very English. The price of everything, the value of nothing etc etc.
Education has, as I pointed out, many intangible benefits. They don’t show up with a £ sign on a balance sheet but that makes them no less real to the individual and the life of the nation.
February 2, 2026 at 10:56 PM
I understand that; he's starting from a very limited view of the value of education ("You earn loadsamoney after?"). I just think that needs to be challenged at every turn.

Define 'benefit'. If you correlate 'level of education' with 'liable to fall for snake oil sales men at election time' you could argue we're not sending enough to Uni.
