@_celia_bedelia_ Local social media here (semi-rural UK) is a constant stream of missing cats, many with a follow up RIP post. Indoor cats are happy and healthy cats.

160.

That's how many laws the Royal Family have exempted themselves from.

Since Parliament refuses to rein in the Monarch, tell King Charles: rule out Royal exemptions.

Oh me oh my Tories, what's your pledge that will hearten women? Affordable childcare? End to child poverty? Universal basic income? Free school meals for all? Social housing? Equal pay? Full state funding for refuges & rape crisis? Rights for asylum seekers? Public transport?

These comments trade on a patently false idea that religious people are in some way oppressed by LGBT people, or those who ask serious questions about religious homophobia, or those attempting to outlaw abusive homophobic practices like conversion therapy.

Me . . . and about a million others I expect . We are not a minority and we are not extremists . The vast majority of UK people have wanted to see the back of this barbarity for years .

The death penalty doesn’t work. It makes juries reluctant to convict so guilty parties get off. DNA and CCTV may establish someone’s presence at the scene but not their intent or the full picture. We now know conclusively of cases of false convictions and executions.

@LazyReaderBook Didn’t get the email for some reason, so completely forgot. What was general verdict on the book?

[Katy Craddock @KTCrad]

@fisharedeadon @FellowshipFans Agreed, but not as much as they butchered Faramir’s character.

I suspect this may be an unpopular take re: tackle laws, but here we go…

I’ve seen the RFU & others say things like “Safety is the number one priority”.

It shouldn’t be. It should be balanced with participation & enjoyment.

If safety was THE priority, you wouldn’t play rugby.

Rather than police investigate Rishi Sunak for not wearing a seatbelt I would rather they followed all of our Covid money, all the Russian money, all the cash for honours, all the billions spirited out of the country post-Brexit, all the excess profits made by energy & the rest

"Why were you given a bonus of £140,000 last year?"

"Misleading Parliament is not something we appreciate on this committee."

Labour MP Darren Jones absolutely wipes the floor with Royal Mail CEO Simon Thompson.

Just heard on the radio that the Church of England won’t be marrying same sex couples any time soon. Just another reminder that religious institutions tend to be a drag on progress in human rights and moral advancement in society.
