The Butchering Art, the true story of Joseph Lister the ‘godfather’ of antiseptics. The descriptions of Victorian hospitals and surgery are not for the feint hearted!

Good to see BBC claiming it was a ‘big win’ for Reform. Not even bothering to try and hide their bias these days.

Loved this, binged over three evenings!

Working to get Reform elected is not a good use of anybody’s time.

I gave up on it as well.

Funny how she didn’t mention head coverings worn by nuns. It’s as if her ideology is based on race rather than religion……..

This shitstain on the duvet of humanity shouldn’t be allowed out in public let alone anywhere near public life. The lying, narcissistic, racist, misogynistic homophobe should be put in a straightjacket and horse whipped to the nearest prison or secure psychiatric unit.

If this was on X the replies would be along the lines of ‘serves you right for eating that forrin muck in the first place’!

Considering your career and achievements you have a lot you could shout about but you’re probably one of the less ego-centric on here!

Suddenly realised they don’t have a clue as to how a council works, no one is going to be in a rush to explain it to them and actually working rather than peddling racism is beyond them.

Badenoch is the only living example of someone with the same IQ and shoe size.

Old Brillo Bollocks blocked me on another site for sharing this picture. It upsets him when people share it. You all know what to do……….

Once you’ve finished HoL I can recommend this “The Ship Of Theseus” or “S”. It has at least two narratives, clues, ciphers, hidden messages, a code wheel and much more. It goes way beyond any other book I’ve ever read.

Welcome to the rabbit hole. It’s fantastic and infuriating in equal measure.

2016 Brexit - fisherman: “We’ve been lied to and betrayed and export costs will cripple us”. 2025 New Deal which scraps export costs - fisherman: “We’ve been betrayed and lied to again”. The entire U.K. fishing industry contributes less to the economy than Harrods Department Store.

This, it’s an amazing read. I’m not surprised it’s been hoovering up awards!

Just signed up and cancelled Audible, love the fact I can support my local bookshop and deprive Amazon!!!
comment in response to post
Thanks for that, signed up to Libro.fm. and cancelled Audible. When they asked why I was cancelling I said Jeff Bezos is a Trump supporting idiot!

Spent a couple of hours on the allotment this afternoon and ended up unsure as to where the dirt ended and the tan started!
