I rather like the visuals on Badland on iPhone.

The irony might be that having the anti vax man in a position where he can have a devastating effect might vaccinate the surviving populace from believing people of his kind ever again.

“No big thinking at all” is the perfect description of this government. A massive majority and they pander to those who will never vote for them and hurt those you do or might. Where’s the bravery - or even some ambition. Frankly, where’s the political skill. Absolutely betrayed.

A long time ago I was on holiday in Tenerife and hired convertible for a day. It was a hoot although I thoroughly cooked the brakes driving down the steep winding road into Puerto de Santiago.

I’m fed up with the timidity around Europe (and almost anything). Do it and be damned if it will help. They will be slammed for anything they do, so best to make positive decisions rather than defensive ones.

Wow. Very best wishes. Shows the value of these proactive tests.

When real effects like the fires in California are treated like a political football then I fear we have no hope. The UK weather will show more extremes (but really not life altering) but the US is much more prone to the devastating and lifestyle changing effects of climate change.

I found this to be a delightfully simple take down of the Goodwin fool.

In reality we need do nothing. The manufacturers will simply adopt this as standard. This is the gravitational reality of being a nation in Europe.

Lovely XBR. Great scene!

Does he perhaps protest a bit much?

Excellent stuff but the only real path to deflecting the Farage/Reform wave is for Labour to succeed in making this country a better place. The missteps - some real, some spun as such by an anti-Labour media - are maddening.

Had this installed on a PC at my university research lab (along with Lemmings). This was ground breaking stuff to my 21 year old eyes.

A period of 3 years of chastity is surely the norm in this day and age.

Surrey is feeling the effect too. Quite uplifting.

All the opposition do which means that they shrill objections don’t help. The plan should however be subject to scrutiny and challenge as some elements do seem like they need improvement or explanation.

Nothing says “we took back control” quite as much as having to kowtow to the orange ape for crumbs from the table.

They will try to evict them whatever they do. It will be harder if the country is in better shape and closer ties to Europe make a better performance more likely.

How bloody stupid. They have one window of opportunity to make a real difference and that closes very soon.

The irony for the “patriot” Farage is that he needs Labour to fail. Which means he actually wants Britain to fail.

Simply tells us what we suspected is true. They were in bed with the Tories and are now passing through the stages of grief.

Having seen Farage on QT last night I almost (almost!!) want him to be PM. He is a one trick pony and would fail very quickly.

And the first question this morning from the increasingly dire Kay Burley …. How are you going to pay for this?

They will protest that this is what the nation is interest in. But forget that this is what they talk about endlessly. I care about many things ahead of this and I expect that most do to.

Perhaps he could do the honourable thing and resign. Gambling is pernicious and appears to avoid proper political scrutiny because of acts like this.

There is a blind spot with respect to the US. Just because they speak (almost) the same language doesn’t make them any less foreign.

In fact you can be a solicitor, accountant or banker with a spent conviction.

Your maths is a bit off - she was 27, which is young but obviously not a child. But my point about rehabilitation remains.
comment in response to
post
Thoroughly agree - which is why it is so maddening. To my mind her appointment to the role should be a positive message about rehabilitation and that the indiscretion of youth should not be held against you once time is served or the conviction is spent.
