It's no longer OK for you to sit in the house of Lords because your dad did.
But if your mate put you there?
That's fine.
Neither of these really feel like democracy to me.
Goosebumps! People often ask, is Shakespeare still relevant? Here is a great example, from the Steven Colbert Show, in which Sir Ian McKellen delivers an extraordinary speech. Shakespeareโs words are timeless, urgent and important.

Here's the problem. People think council tax pays for bins. What they don't realise is that council tax is - absurdly - how we pay for care in this country.
Your council tax is going on the rising cost of adult social care as more people live longer & need more care. Not bins.
On April 25, 1974, Portugalโs dictatorship ended in what's known as the Carnation Revolution. Today in Lisbon, we remember the uprising that restored democracy โ with red carnations and songs of freedom. ๐น๐ช

The amount of viral nonsense that is posted as news on this app, often amplified by Elon Musk, is mind-boggling.
Adolescence is not based on the Southport attack or a single case. It was already in production and being filmed before Southport happened.
Pretty disturbed by some of the framing being widely used on the Trump talks. Itโs as if the genesis of the war is entirely forgotten. This isnโt a conflict which needs mediation. It was an illegal unprovoked act of aggression. It could end tomorrow if Putin just withdrew.

Queen & George Michael performing "Somebody to Love" at the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert (1992)
33 years later and George's performance hasn't lost any of its magic.
Miss Freddie, miss Georgeโฆ both outstanding artists.
I strongly recommend sharing this as widely as possible to counter some of the lies and hate being stirred up by Musk, Farage, Jenrick and Badenoch.
And this was while the Tory govt was doing as little as possible to respond to the 2022 report?
This has to be the most dishonest reporting of an opinion poll I've ever seen
The survey actually found that over two thirds of voters *do not* think Starmer will be out of No 10 within a year.
On February 26 the England cricket team will play Afghanistan.
WHY?
Are England men happy to validate a regime which denies women all human rights from education to simply walking in a park? Now the Taliban are cracking down even on women going online.
Boycott the ICC.
In a few weeks time the Afghanistan MENโS cricket team will play in ICCโs world championships, while Afghan women and girls are denied their most basic human rights. There must be a sporting boycott to help end this sex apartheid. Me โ๏ธ in The Scotsman https://t.co/CaXivacUA3
