As Flaps would say, 'brutal'

1604: work on the King James Bible begins. The DUP probably believe it's the authoritative divinely inspired version.

I liked the discussion in QCS one time when someone was putting lovely racist things in people's avatars/custom titles and hey maybe you should do something about it? and the answer was basically "we don't know who it was, yeah you can pretty much do what you like with those with no consequences to yourself, how about that"

Circled in red, the fire station closed by Boris Johnson. In yellow, two of the five tower blocks in Camden that were today discovered to be done up in the same flammable cladding used on Grenfell.

The sa business model is people buying avatars, racists buy the avatars, people buy their old avatar back, there's a lot of money involved in the insignificant picture below your name.

Social media expert here. Take a photo of the screen, get it developed at the shop, make photocopies and send them to ten of your friends and ask each of them to send a copy to ten friends of theirs. Eventually one of the letters will reach Boris himself and he will surely do the honourable thing and resign on the spot.

My gran just shared an ellipsis-filled jpeg full of "Analysis" of how many Muslim mayors there are, how quickly they are outbreeding us, how much "free benefits" they get and how Halal and Sharia law are being imposed on everyone. She uses the word immigrant rather than Muslim when asked to defend it, but is blind to the irony that she herself is an immigrant (from Norway though so one of the good ones presumably) and fails to join the humanist dots. She worries about me and my family.

I think people are getting confused with different types reading some of the reports. Seems the aluminium skinned cladding is being deemed flammable by everyone when it's only when it's filled with polyethylene rather then rockwool. There must also be some other reason glenfell went up like it did too as one of the Camden flats that a dodgy contactor put the Dodgy panels in rather then the better ones had a fire and that was contained to 1 flat.
