Just heard somebody referred to as ‘an absolute tube’ by a Scottish colleague. It’s not a compliment, obvs. I will be looking for an opportunity to use this for the rest of the week😁

Your problem isn't asylum seekers. Your problem is critical underfunding of services. If you could get a GP appointment, see a dentist quickly, then you wouldn't complain. Point your finger in the right direction. It's shit governance that is your problem, not someone fleeing a fucking war zone.

So let me get this straight. The centre right win the EU election. The centre left are in power in the UK, Germany, Spain. In Poland and Czechia, the centre right sent hard right governments packing. In France, the left and centre hold the line against the fash. Tell me again how Europe has fallen.

The UK and France just proved that getting out and actually voting makes a difference. Don’t let anyone ever tell you differently.

Discworld QOTD, from Feet of Clay “People said that there was one law for the rich and one law for the poor, but it wasn't true. There was no law for those who made the law, and no law for the incorrigibly lawless.”

Discworld QOTD, from Maskerade “Nanny Ogg was basically a law-abiding person when she had no reason to break the law, and therefore had that kind of person’s attitude to law-enforcement officers, which was one of deep and permanent distrust.”
