Shamina Begum must be held accountable for her actions when she was 15. Whereas I should not, because I was a mere child.

A male rock ptarmigan (Lagopus muta) in winter plumage.

Ptarmigan is from Gaelic 'tarmachan' meaning "croaker". The p- was added when people mistakenly assumed it was a Greek word.

A bird forever warning people: "A werewolf!" (just in case of werewolves).

This is how Spanish TV announced the boycott of Eurovision

If Russia is banned for what they're doing to Ukraine, surely Israel should be banned for what they're doing in Palestine?

When is the UK going to boycott Eurovision?

“Farage has suggested that it’s inconceivable that anyone could recall such events of more than four decades ago. I would simply ask: can a victim of such abuse ever forget?…I recognise his walk every time I see it on TV as that same walk that used to approach me”

I’ll never forget the look of hatred Nigel Farage had for me at school, simply for existing
The Reform UK leader doubts people can recall their abuse from years ago. I’ve never forgotten his – it felt malicious

Premier League’s bigger than FIFA anyway. Do it England.
December 5, 2025 at 11:30 PM
Here’s an idea. England quits FIFA. Sets up a rival group with the Euro giants, Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay etc. reclaims football from the cunts at FIFA and we start again.

Modi cosying up to Putin is truly nauseating. India is no ally of the west and should be treated with contempt. But of course, the UK will turn a blind eye.

"The British noticed that Saxon and Bavarian troops were more easy-going than Prussians and many of the troops opposite the British where fraternisation occurred were from these state armies."
I mean they fraternised with the Germans in no man's land, not whatever you were thinking. Also, the date that I post the link to my 1914 Christmas Truce blog seems to get earlier every year.

Zia Yusuf praising his ‘legal’ parents misses a fundamental point. His father was a doctor, his mother was a nurse. They were already economically advantaged and probably enhanced their status from being here. Why else did they come? Surely Sri Lanka needed qualified medics just as badly??

Lucky old Zia Yusuf with his doctor and nurse parents. Of course they came here ‘legally’. They weren’t fleeing US and British bombs or western imperialist war zones. #bbcqt
