I see the Indie is making noises: Collapse in Tory support threatens ‘Conservative Celtic fringe’ in southwest, poll finds Dramatic 19-point fall in vote share threatens 15 seats, including constituency of Jacob Rees-Mogg...

The only explanation I have is that they are determined to ensure strikes and industrial unrest - in order to recover in the polls. inews front page for 21/06/2022

I saw a headline that started "Boris Johnson admitted..." Shame it was only to hospital rather than a full confession. Especially now Downing Street have admitted getting a story about Carrie (Johnson was trying to get her a job when he was Foreign Secretary) dropped from the Times.

The smirkin' merkin.

I understand laughing, but it was so much more serious than that.

Just had a look - and in successive hits it was 2,500 a month, 1,000 a month, 10,000 every 120 days, 120,000 every 120 days, ...

We (not the CEOs) are told: Big wage increases are too risky, Treasury chief warns bosses While CEOs (etc.) get: Sainsbury's has revealed that its chief executive, Simon Roberts, received pay worth £3.8m in the latest financial year

Synchronicity. Johnson offers to train 120,000 Ukraine troops every 120 days. Paratroopers in Colchester banned from NATO deployments due to orgy. It is depressing to read of that troop training. Why do you need that rate of training? Surely due to losses that could approach that level. They...

So then, the UK has been asked to host next year's Eurovision Song Contest. I suggest that wherever it is physically held gets temporarily designated a part of the embassy of Ukraine. Thus would be regarded as Ukraine territory. Even if just for the hours of actual competition. Then ask all...

Doesn't need to own one of them to make highly profitable manipulations. I think I remember Tesla sometimes accepting, sometimes not, Bitcoin. And things like this: Elon Musk's company had invested $1.5 billion in Bitcoin on February 8, 2021. This investment lost a lot of value as...

Were everything he did legitmate in every other way, allegations of Musk's use of public statements to manipulate the world around him, including markets, seem irrefutable. That is, I can't see how he can possibly deny them. They are on-record.

Did you know that the tories have a charm and tact school? Would-be MPs are sent there for intensive training. Only the ones who pass with flying colours are ever adopted as candidates. No? Nor did I. It's just the sort of thing that they'll tell us and expect us to believe. Thank goodness for...

Most of the time, I don't notice that we are but a few miles from Castlemartin and its tank range. Even if we drive very close, we know it is there, possibly hear a few rounds, but that is it. Today, we were over in that direction. And it was bang-bang-bang in the distance - on and on and on...

Last word I saw was "bloodbath". Don't be surprised if the government chooses today to launch a new crypto (pencil in JohnsonBit) claiming they want a bit of the incredibly successful crypto industry.

That seems to be widespread view. Labour should really push their ethics oversight thingy - formally and legally constituted with powers. Event to the extent of public discussion with other parties. (Except tories, of course.)

And there was a gap of quite a number of months before Geidt was appointed. And Priti is screaming at the secrecy of the European court. While Mogg refuses to let us know how often our MPs use their security passes (as a proxy of attendance). But it's OK for him to sneak round leaving sarcastic...

Well I never! Boris Johnson’s ethics adviser Lord Geidt resigns after Partygate grilling Geidt said: ‘I feel that it is right that I am resigning from my post’ following questions over whether PM broke ministerial code Partygeidt.

Not a surprise. The use of GET (Graded Exercise Therapy) for Myalgic encephalomyelitis, also called chronic fatigue syndrome or ME/CFS, had precisely that sort of effect. Even the most gentle, most carefully graded, exercise therapy had a diabolically awful impact on many sufferers. (There...

Said about autocrats everywhere: Autocracy comes when the leader elides themselves with the group. I am the group. … The sure sign of an autocracy is when a leader begins to say that anybody who disagrees with them is not of the group. Stephen Reicher – social psychologist 13 March 2018 The...

An experience I'll be happy to totally avoid. Sounds like BA.4 and BA.5 are doing the rounds - and seem to be going back to having a severe impact on the lungs.
