@CollinsDict Hi there. I’m getting undeliverable email bouncebacks from the press and website contacts on the website, but I have a fairly pressing enquiry for the PR team. Please could you let me know who and how to contact? Thanks.
the idea you're going to reshore this type of manufacturing is laughable. wheat timbs would cost $500 if made here. basic vans would be $200. a north face jacket would be $750. americans are not paying that kind of money for clothes and shoes.
You absolute, utter, utter clowns.
Not just the wreckers pulling you all into entirely predictable catastrophe, or the idiots cheering them on.
But everyone who’s suddenly gone a bit fucking silent. The ones who say, ‘Nothing to do with me,’ or ‘It’ll blow over.’
We see you.

Turns out, Russia saw in Trump’s negotiations w/ Ukraine what we all saw: plain old corruption. Their “peace” deal has now veered off into simply buying off America with “economic cooperation”—ie lifting sanctions which will only feed the pariah war criminal regime’s aggression.
Aussie peeps!
I just finished watching the Victorian Alps-set crime series High Country.
Before that, I binged on all the Mystery Road episodes and prequels.
Peak Australian Gothic mystery, & I love it.
What should I hit next? Any recommendations gratefully received. 🙏
There are companies worth £50bn* based in this terraced house in Bolton.
Turns out they also have a bank. With a valid VAT registration number.
