@sewistwrites Misuse of “overestimate” or “overstate” and “underestimate” or “understate” is one of my pet peeves ☺️. So often used so as to mean the exact opposite of what’s intended.

Read this. Bookmark it. Share it.
An epically disgraceful legacy from the most corrupt, dishonest, vicious and useless govt of our lives.
When Sunak simpers that his ‘plan’ is working, when Tories brag that they know best, think about all of this.
And then vote them out for good.

@mileswithshell Here’s another recommendation for you, which I’ve just finished. It’s another short story collection, The Kamogawa Food Detectives by Hisashi Kashiwai. All about the power of food to unlock forgotten memories and bring happiness.

[CathyR @CambridgeMinor]

@mileswithshell That’s the one. And free delivery as well.

[CathyR @CambridgeMinor]

@mileswithshell Yes, you’ve another two to enjoy. And I’m now looking forward to reading your recommendation - just ordered it from Hive, the best place to buy books. 😊.

@mileswithshell And for a longer novel, Pachinko by Min Jin Lee is a superb saga about a Korean family in Japan from the start of the 20th Century. I loved this one as well.

@mileswithshell Bet she liked Finland’s song, tho! 🤣🤣

[CathyR @CambridgeMinor]

@mileswithshell @AbroadInJapan No, but hubby is hoping to get a place for his Tokyo sixth star next year, so 🤞.

[CathyR @CambridgeMinor]

@mileswithshell @AbroadInJapan I loved this! Such an interesting and entertaining read.

Stark research on the extent of Tory failure.
What a truly disgraceful shitshow of crushing uselessness.
A total absence of any thought, care or accountability on anything.
We think everything is broken, because it is. By the worst, most venal and atrocious govt of our lives.

@mileswithshell I thoroughly enjoyed this - it was absolutely riveting. We saw Allie at the Running Show, interviewing Jack Scott, the record-breaking winner of this year’s winter Spine Race. They were both fascinating and great speakers.

[CathyR @CambridgeMinor]

@mileswithshell Looks good - just ordered 😀.

[CathyR @CambridgeMinor]

@Daveandferdy Saw this and thought of you, Scout and Eve.

This is just pure rubbish on what ECHR is about - and it is bizarre that you would not know it.

The whole master-slave framing you are painting is ridiculous and deliberately misleading.

These are rights first proposed by Winston Churchill and the European Movement - later codified by the likes of Sir David Maxwell Fyfe (a Scots Conservative). It is an assertion of common values that we set forward and encouraged others to sign up to, alongside ourselves.

Those rights are fundamental and you are suggesting we jeopardise them *without* sign-off from the public. So it is an undemocratic move you are trying to force without explicit public support for such a move.

What you are trying to throw away here is the Rule of Law. You have no interest in the sovereignty of Parliament - because in 2019, you tried to suspend the sovereignty of Parliament - lying to the Queen in order to do so - and it was only our courts, ultimately in the form of a unanimous decision by our Supreme Court, that re-established the sovereignty of Parliament against your will.

You therefore have no philosophical loyalty to the "sovereignty of Parliament" about which you now espouse and only deploy a confidence trickster's faux loyalty to principles as and when they are expedient to your personal preferences and power.

The ECHR is British in origin. It is our heritage and our standards. If you cannot operate by our British values, you should not be in our Parliament.

@AdamBienkov @13sarahmurphy We can live in hope.

@mileswithshell Would this help your dog who is scared of fireworks?

[Sociable Dog @sociabledog]

I should have included the hashtag for #sophiefromromania in order to make sure this reaches as many people as possible since this is very much a part of Sophie's situation as it is for many thousands of dogs particularly during storm and fireworks seasons.

@mileswithshell You’ll love the Rachel Joyce book. Did you see the film of the Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry?
