It’s a Midea, it supposedly washes as well and it has a big tower so you only have to empty it every week or so. I’m not sold on it for the price, it was dear. it’s sufficient for Cheerios and crumbs - I don’t think it really washes though

"The moment we stop trying is when we lose our humanity, & no matter how dangerous this mission is, it is nowhere near as dangerous as the silence of the entire world in the face of a live-streamed genocide." – #GretaThunberg

It’s not the case in print or in any other section, it’s just a feed from them so we have breaking news when something big happens but yeah, the odd thing!

Unfortunately our world content is auto populated by PA and somebody didn’t get to this one on time to change it. Style guide specifies “Britain’s King Charles”. Cannot speak for everyone but not a unionist personally 🤣

Also quite taken with "Every single aspect of your life that we outsource to experts, we need to reclaim." Right, so you'll be taking your own appendix out?

Genuinely laughed out loud at this
“This is why they have an infantry in the army. They’re infants. They cannot speak. That’s why you have a soldier, because he sold his soul to the service.”

This is amazing! It reminds me of the obsession the Freeman movement had with "maritime law". They attached weird interpretations to any legal or official term that sounded vaguely nautical. So, words ending in "-ship" were suspect, as was the use of a "dock" in court and "berth" certificate!
