Who only had three daughters - not an indeterminate tribe of offspring.

The fact that the event took place under TM's watch is irrelevant. It is what he did that matters.

Perhaps he has been reading The Goebbels Diaries 1939-1941 (and the other volumes)? Or owes many favours to the advertising "industry"? If only we could have a campaign to not buy papers, watch television, etc., which accepts that advertising. I'd happily not watch Coronation Street, Love...

No. But there isn't anything that would.

His Home Secretary, sorry, his Home Hypocrisy: She says: It comes as Home Secretary Priti Patel today unveils Mr Johnson’s tough new immigration policy in this newspaper, vowing to make Britain ‘the greatest country on earth’ by seizing the ‘once-in-a-lifetime opportunity offered by the end of...

Not sure that it is illegal in itself even now. As far as I know, it is possession, dealing and making that are specifically illegal. Not taking except insofar as possession would usually be a step in taking. https://www.gov.uk/penalties-drug-possession-dealing The Data Protection Act 2018 is...

Unless it has been settled in court, I am not sure I agree with you. But that is the nature of legal issues, there are opinions which only coalesce into effective law when a court has determined an issue.

If the harvesting was illegal, they always could be investigated. It was more a matter of which jurisdiction and whether there was a will, a prospect of conviction and all the other things that determine whether an investigation actually goes ahead.

Dear Idiot, Read up on East India Company and Opium Wars. Yours faithfully, oyster.

Quite possibly no surprise, but be interesting to see how this pans out. The former Tory chancellor Philip Hammond held private talks with Labour’s Brexit spokesman Keir Starmer shortly before Boris Johnson entered Downing Street last Wednesday, to plot cross-party moves aimed at preventing the...

If brexit is such an excellent idea, why do you have to look after farmers? The world should be queuing up for trade deals. Isn't it labour who spend government funds profligately and tories who tell everyone they should look after themselves? Rees-Mogg says farmers will be 'looked after' in a...

Organisations are singular. Did you not read JRM's rules?

That was why I left those issues to one side. We might well need visas for anything other than short stay tourism - though decisions have yet to be made and implemented.

There could be an encyclopaedia of reasons to holiday within the UK. But just what does taking back control mean if we are then confined to our own shores? It is a reduction in choice and freedom. (Leaving aside issues such as visas and being non-EU for passport control, etc.)

Just had a schadenfreude moment. RM has a stinking headache and sends his minions to buy tablets containing 5 grains of aspirin. You won't find many of them for sale so he will just have to put up with that stinking head. (Mind, 300 and 325 milligram tablets are common enough. Being converted...

However, purchasing power has been going down within the UK as well.

Noticed the DM headline today, bemoaning lack of purchasing power of the pound impacting British tourists. Yes, that is an issue. But there are so many more ways in which we will be seriously impacted that seems like the lesser end of the spectrum. Still, makes a headline.

More likely golden shower.

Grate. Possibly.

Double-space after fullstops (specifically at ends of sentences) is a typewriter standard. No decent typographer would do that. The space after a fullstop might be wider than a standard single space but not a double-space. In fine quality work, it might be carefully crafted to provide the best...
