I had a cat that was killed three times by cars. When it died, it only had six lives left… or maybe I should say five.

People who let their cats roam outside are assholes. As well as being vulnerable to getting run over by cars, cats also kill large numbers of birds and small animals.

Glad to be of help. Someone close to me knows a lot about atmospheric physics and space weather, she’s also good at explaining.

People who see things that aren’t there are people with severe mental problems.

ITT: excuses as to why capitulation will somehow be a win.

The Mierdas Touch.

Justice should be done, without fear or favour.

If it upsets a loud minority of fanatics, so be it. Deal with them.

The only party that spoke out against the Online Safety Act was Reform, who said they’d repeal it.

That’s because Reform would disappear without foreign funding and influence. Even more so Yakity-Sax’s band of violent numpties.

That’s not a view, it’s a lie.

Well, at least some good will come from this disaster.

It’s something the Normans hung onto when they took over Britain.

First time I’ve seen genuine Jersey gammon.

The Channel Islands are a truly strange backwater.

It’s much different in the UK than in the US. Here in the UK, there are very few overtly racist shits. But there are far more racists who are superficially polite, but secretly hate black people, and will fuck them over, given a chance.

The Reform Party, like MAGA in the US, is trying to make racism and xenophobia mainstream so they can grab power and profit from the scapegoating. Their rhetoric is likely to get some asylum-seekers murdered, and the two mainstream parties have been pandering to the bigots instead of confronting and shaming them. Appeasement doesn’t work.

When Farage’s mob and Tommy Robinson’s bovver boys came to my city, though, and tried to terrorize the tiny contingent of brown and black people who live here, they were convinced very quickly to fuck off. Turkish shopkeepers are not soft targets. Neither are some of their white customers. When the fascists saw the kind of welcome they were likely to get, they scarpered. It was good that they left when they did, since there were many hundreds of bricks stockpiled on the roofs above some of the high-street shops, ready to use in case things really kicked off.

Mmm, perry…

But they get into a snit if you call them racists.

Hopefully that free bread is wrapped around some good falafels, with a pickle and some tahini sauce.

You can also be one without being a Marxist.

In most European countries, he’d be a social democrat.
