@CptHastings1916 This one could, and should, apply to everything. "The test of a government's pothole strategy is the absence of potholes, and not the amount of money allocated to the anti-pothole fund."

Annoying to hear people going full Dawkins and talking about nuking all religion from public life again. As if that's helped France. This is England and we have a Church of England and it's entirely fine that it alone enjoys privileges that other religions do not.

@echetus I just clicked the Start icon on my Windows 11 desktop and was confronted with 44 icons, randomly arranged in a large square, not one of which I wanted.

@ED_LeveyKC @BarbaraRich_law And the desperately plaintive reminder that it would only take a few minutes to check the legislation! I felt quite sorry for it.

[NPRG @CptHastings1916]

One point about mass immigration that doesn't always get the attention it deserves: it plays an important part in undermining norms of honest, respectful, factual political argument because it raises the stakes of politics so massively.

@BarbaraRich_law If anything, this case has increased my respect for AI! That legal chatbot was practically pleading with the solicitor to do something - anything - to verify the information being generated.

The internet used to be full of websites; there were millions of them and you could browse for hours and come away smarter rather than dumber. Now there are four sites and they've made half the population illiterate. We've destroyed a wonderful thing, and it has destroyed us.

@thatmarkperkins "Sorry guys, don't know how that song snuck in, obviously inappropriate. Anyway, now for our next number, Another One Bites The Dust."

@CptHastings1916 @ItsTaz1989 Has the potential to be Lowe's Ralph Nader moment (there's a reference that dates me).

[🚨The Celebration Police🚨 @PLCPolice]

Arsenal celebrating like they’ve won the league

[Edward @FiendishFu]

@edwest Driving on the right? Sad.

@_F_B_G_ Gerry Anderson really should have stopped after Captain Scarlet.

@si_rubinstein Why is an American estate agent writing to the PM?

[Andrew Sabisky @AndrewSabisky]

look ultimately this is a non-problem if Westminster governments just say no and explain that Cameron just sort of lost his mind in 2014. Obviously we can never permit the breakup of the country, on v clear national security grounds

[Edward @FiendishFu]

@CptHastings1916 It also draws the usual half-conclusions: city types move to the countryside, discarding its traditions, and that's bad - but you've been "seduced" if you apply that same logic in any other context.

[Edward @FiendishFu]

@stefanroberts Or, as they say in German politics, the "preelectionperiodofsensitivity".

[Edward @FiendishFu]

@LucarioBarbosa @SketchesbyBoze Funnily enough, I remember when I first came across the word 'gauche'. I wasn't exactly reading War and Peace at the time.

[Edward @FiendishFu]

@CptHastings1916 It's good, but it also reminds us that the Met don't do this reliably, they judge the political wind first. Other officers in equivalent circumstances have been thrown to the wolves when the Met didn't feel politically safe pushing back.

[Lord Moylan @danielmgmoylan]

Vandalism, vindictiveness and spite.

Probably the only significant legacy this government will leave.
