@IKEAITALIA un disastro - la peggiore esperienza del cliente mai. Ho ordinato articoli il 4 agosto e la consegna era prevista per l'11 agosto. Da quando ho effettuato l'ordine non ho avuto notizie da IKEA. Nessuno mi ha contattato e ovviamente l'ordine non è arrivato.

Priti Patel just said on #bbcaq "if the EU choses not to leave us on good terms" they're going to be in trouble.

Jasus! We’ll need to recruit thousands more Tories to explain why it’s all someone else’s fault.

Another example of the need for historians, who are the ‘professional remembrancers of what their fellow citizens wish to forget’ (Hobsbawm)

Julian Jackson’s fine new biography of de Gaulle describes how UK refused to sign Treaty of Rome then sought free trade deal with EEC on the grounds it was in their interest. Vetoed by France 60 yrs ago. And it’s supposed to be the Bourbons who learnt nothing from history

Chloe’s using the Dorries ‘stop picking on poor little me’ defence. Increasingly common amongst Leavers (cf. poor Darren, whose only crime was breaking the law.)

Friendly reminder that Tommy Robinson is out on bail, he pleaded guilty to the charge for which he was jailed, he is not a journalist, he has jeopardised rape trials, he has convictions for assault & fraud, he is not a martyr, he is not a hero, he's just a massive racist bellend.

@SarahDallaghan Looks like you're enjoying it!!

@EmporersNewC Nadine's been watching Trump and has adopted his tactic of deflection. Sure sign of having lost the argument.

Happy memories, happy memories, I wouldn't go so far as that.

Hang loose about him, like a giant's robe
Upon a dwarfish thief..."
