This is the Pope's personal account. I let myself off the leash a little. Or a lot, if wine.

#BREAKING Whitewing regime of aging US ruler, Joe Biden, delays UN Security Council vote to stop bombing of civilians in Gaza over concerns wording may prevent future resumption of genocide. Move comes as court blocks opposition leader's bid to unseat the unpopular gerontocrat.

#BREAKING Anger grows in apartheid state of Israel after regime of corrupt strongman, Benjamin Netanyahu, admits that three people killed by occupation army in Gaza while waving white flag were Israelis, and not unarmed Palestinian civilians as earlier justified.

#BREAKING Fears of violence in ethnically-divided, gun-strewn, Far Northwestern nation of US as millions of migrant workers head home for Caucasian New Year, putting pressure on dilapidated transport systems in one of the world's most Highly Indebeted Poorly-governed Countries.

@GoetersFourTwo @PastorAlexLove Absolutely.

And, in EVEN BETTER NEWS!!!!, batteries are included in all sales this week.

@NEOM But what will it DO?

What will people DO there?

There is no logic to this.

@BBCWomansHour @SamanthaWalsh76 @Emmabarnett To the non mums whinging about mums taking time off, do try and remember being a sick child. And if you can't remember that, reminder that you can take cheaper holidays then them.

@Telegraph Jordan Peterson is your goto?

He's even more politically idiotic than Corbyn.

[Pope Urbane @Pope_Urbane]

Tory Policy : Illegal immigrants should be sent back where you cam from, if it's safe.

ALSO Tory Policy :-

Unless you are born and brought up in the UK and the country where you are an illegal immigrant wants to send you back to the UK.

Shamina Begum is a BRITISH problem.

[Pope Urbane @Pope_Urbane]

Dear @RishiSunak @lrobertsonTewks rules that prevent BRITISH CITIZENS marrying someone from overseas simply because they don't meet an arbitrary earnings target.....

... is small minded, mean spirited, unbritish, uncivilised, and frankly, disgusting.

[Pope Urbane @Pope_Urbane]

@acgrayling Hope so. Might take a while though. And my money is on us never rejoining, but having a Special Associate Status (or somesuch) that basically is the same as rejoining without the votes, and some policy exemptions on some issues.

Single Market and Freedom Movement is the key win

[Pope Urbane @Pope_Urbane]

@GavinBarwell Farage, Priti, Braverman, or Badenoch as Tory leader would be as politically smart as when Labour picked Corbyn.

Tories should accept that next election, they are going down, and will need to take a long hard look at themselves if they want to govern again any time soon.

De icing the car trick.

Super soaker, use cold water.

It doesn't take much water because the heat transfer happens at the interface.

No chemicals, no ice sheets.

And it's FUN :-)

This is worthy of an @themonkeycage episode on home applied physics?

@quantick I'm 9 again :-)

[Pope Urbane @Pope_Urbane]

@AndyBTravels @Renfe OOhhh :-) Did London/Madrid a few years back. Bit of a plastic sleeper. This looks better :-)

@NeilKBrand @O2 @Ofcom If you have been paying, in effect under duress, be advised that big companies really really hate it when people Small Claims court them.

@ArfurSmith That crowd? Madame Claude's would seem logical for that era...

@theAliceRoberts Tempted to draw the Venn diagram of "Valid English Language" and "Proper Scientific Terminology" but I posting a Bullseye on Twitter, not the best idea...

@jonholmes1 @MailOnline I had a company use my copyright. Mid 4 figure settlement within 2 hours once they saw the name of my lawyer*.

*Friend of a friend top IP lawyer who said I could say they were my lawyer, though I couldn't afford them to do any actual work if the bluff failed :-)

@JolyonMaugham It's not "pick a system that always returns what I think is an sensible result", it's "pick the least bad system".

PR with high bars, or STV, beat both FPTP and the US system (which counts rural votes more than urban ones) re democracy.
