Bloody hell I bet England would be far happier playing the Dutch rather than Turkey in the semifinal. Talk about the crowd being as good as a twelfth player…

The other interesting fact, noted elsewhere, is the seats of the previous five Conservative Party leaders are no longer Conservative seats. Truss's SW Norfolk, Johnson's Uxbridge, May's Maidenhead, Cameron's Witney and Howard's Folkestone.

I know smut may seem like a frivolous thing to be upset about, but crushing it is part of fascism. Controlling all forms of sexual expression is fascism. Only allowing certain kinds is fascism. Smut peddlers are always canaries in the coal mines.

Brilliant work by Led By Donkeys. They disrupted Farage’s latest rally with a Putin banner.

Me: Why does my phone keep changing campus to Camus? Phone: There is no higher purpose in life. Me: You could at least stop misspelling words. Phone: *long drag on cigarette* There is no meaning. Duck yoor speeling. Me: Is that a beret? Phone: Oui.

There were 16 trans youth suicides after gender affirming care restrictions were implemented in the UK in 2020 compared with only 1 in the 7 years prior. Staff at the NHS attempted to cover it up. Hilary Cass knew but minimized what was happening. This is a massive scandal. Cass lied, kids died.

I have yet to see a single official photo of Princess Charlotte where she DOESN'T look like she'll eventually seize the crown. And you know what, good for her. It's good to have ambitions.
