The French Embassy, Washington D.C.

Pancake day and I've got no ingredients. It's really crêped up on me this year!

Now getting Facebook ads for Maersk whisky! If it's anything like the shipping line then the price will jump up by £200 when you come to order it.

Do right wing folk not realise that leaving the ECHR is not the answer to every single problem?

This is pretty much what happened in the UK, leading to the rise of Farage and the disastrous project to leave the European Union.

JK Rowling is wrong and the sign is correct. Even if putting that sign's sentiments into practice is not that easy at all!

Brexit: “that great victory for the sovereign right to cock things up”… give ourselves food poisoning, lose control, swamp ourselves in red tape, pay more for stuff and stubbornly isolate ourselves from our own continent… A relentless, ruinous stupidity. (Private Eye)

David Steel, leader of the Liberal Party visiting Chapeltown during the General election campaign of 1983.

What kind of fucknugget is even trying to dispute that Rishi Sunak is English?

Cut red tape, they said. Frictionless trade, they said. Exact same benefits, they said. Reality: delays & obscene price rises for consumers due to additional Brexit border checks. Brexit is a failure & we are all paying for the madness. www.fpcfreshtalkdaily.co.uk/post/jenney-...

If that's how Kemi Badenoch feels about higher education then maybe she'd like to give her degree back?

Conservatives have long understood constitutional arrangements were precarious - and that is why they used to take conserving those arrangements seriously. This was the Burkean tradition - which was still strong in our lifetimes. Now the same insight is being used to "move quick and break things".

Quite the downward trajectory for James Watt. From craft beer pioneer to becoming a cheap knock off of Tufton Street grifters such as the Tax "payers" Alliance

Signs like this are the most off-putting, unfriendly thing and a sure fire way to utterly ruin the atmosphere in a pub!

This should be changed asap. If we give someone refugee status, it can't be right to then refuse them route to become a British Citizen. To say they can have a home in our country, but never a place in our society and be forever second class. freemovement.org.uk/good-charact...

Wise words, and they cut to the central problem of our time.

This is a really bad take. President Fart's actions (especially his idiotic trade policies) have a big impact on the British economy and it's ridiculous to ignore this. And then there's the malign effect of his influence on our politics.

Been at Wentworth Woodhouse today. Amazing to think that this one statue (originally from Herculaneum) is worth more than the stately home and grounds combined!

READ THE STANDING ORDERS! READ THEM AND UNDERSTAND THEM!!!

Dear right wingers. This is exactly what the rest of us have been trying to tell you for years!

Take responsibility Fromage. For once in your life please take responsibility for the consequences of your own actions. #brexithasfailed #rejoinEU

I never thought I'd be getting adverts from the Freemasons on YouTube!

Why does every other TV show on at the weekend insist on having people from Spandau f**king Ballet on as guests?

Are Scotland going to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory? #scovita #6nations #rugby

RIP Marianne Faithful. Here she is with Metallica. youtube.com/watch?v=RDN4...

I suppose this is where ex GB "news" presenters inevitably end up. Giving Nazi salutes and getting defrocked.

I am shocked, shocked I tell you that "go woke go broke" turned out to be nonsense made up by regressive right wing echo-chamber dwellers who are desperate to cling on to their right to be vile people at work.

When they cancel the trains in Scotland....

It still amazes me how often I randomly bump into people I know in Dronfield!

The way most employers deal with safety concerns in the workplace is with a zero tolerance approach to alcohol and drugs. Why should parliament be doing the exact opposite of that?

Would it be an idea to sell meeting owls in the Sheffield Wednesday gift shop? #swfc

When will people realise that they're being played by these grifters?

Personally, I prefer it these days when an old phone box is repurposed for a defibrillator or a community book share!
