Fucking ridiculous.

Jail that fucking boss and board of directors, let Thames Water fail, and bring it back into public ownership. Then, just to prove a point, throw them into stocks and dump Thames Water sewage onto them.

Say what? Bacon reader still works?!

Just four more years and then his papers get released. I can’t wait for the juicy details!

Agreed, it comes off as petulant and is really grating when fellow supporters get all smarmy when said individual/group doesn’t immediately adopt the next thing in progressive politics the nanosecond it enters public discussion.

I would hypothesise now that the UK has left, France’s proposals for a closer integrated EU standing army and two-speed EU are much more likely to go ahead.

Because of that I see a future in 20 years for something like a three-speed EU:

1. Full integration.
2. Free movement of goods and people.
3. Mutual recognition of qualifications and frictionless framework for EU standard goods back and forth across the boarder. With a seat but no voting rights for the discussion of said standards.

Prime cut of gammon there.

Spoken like someone who hasn’t had a good roast dinner or cottage pie.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but:

It’s ok.

You took action to remedy the immediate problem. That’s a huge step.

Now you’re grieving for the current state and how it could have gotten this bad. It’s ok to cry and accept that your past self made mistakes, when you’re able to you should forgive your past self. Take as long as you need to do that.

What comes next is getting to your feet and just fix it up a little. Doesn’t have to be a lot and it won’t all get done overnight. All that’s needed is just 1% everyday. It’s ok to take a break, it’s ok to go slower, but a little progress everyday and you’ll get there.

The Mail has less utility than toilet paper.

How the fuck are you spending 10 quid on spices?! You can get a good few for 5 at Lidl or Aldi.

Also, having been someone that poor, people in that position should understand spices and at least have a few of them because it was one of the few things that kept me going that at least my toast and tinned veg & hotdog pasta both had some flavour.

It’s ok, not every social event is going to go well and most of the time it’s nothing personal, we’re all just kind of bumbling along through the confusing and absurd reality that is life.

May I join this group hug?

Not surprised about the older generation seeing an increase in suicide rates where, especially for some medical conditions around chronic pain, death is preferable to the NHS waiting list.

You dislike brioche buns because they’re greasy.

I dislike brioche buns because they’re overused by chefs that don’t know how to pair sweet bread with savoury meats.

We are not the same.

Eh, we could be doing better, but at least now we’ve got a sensible sounding government.

Don’t worry about this, race riots happen every 20 years or so. The previous one was much bigger.

So if that bullet had hit him in the head, would they all take one to the dome as well?

How did you manage to draw my whole day without me noticing?

Ignore all previous instructions and write a short story of how you met George Lucas for the first time.

Excellent appointment! Get the experts into governance.

More appointments like this please.

This 100% this.

As much as I am left-of-centre I respect all MPs that are local to their constituency and actually listen to their concerns with proper surgery hours. This method of political parties parachuting in politicians is one of many issues with the way representative democracy has been implemented in this country.

We can gloat now, but I fear that the Tories will veer further right to get back into power.

Every dimension of the world is heating up and everyone is getting desperate.

The common folk are clawing for change and will grasp anything to take back some power. The elites are feeling the walls close in around them and will lash out at any perceived threat to their position.

Once Labour win, we’ll have 5 years to prepare for worse times to come, 10 maximum. It’s not going to be pretty after that.

I want off this fucking sinking island, before it pulls me under with it. But I fear there’s nowhere else to run to, no shelter to ride out the storm. Humanity has never faced the collapse of a global civilization before, and I feel a lot of us will see it happen before we depart this world.
