My old hometown of Harrow has the first UK Dunkin Donuts. It closed after 2 years.

About a decade ago we were visiting London and were shocked and amused to see a Krispy Kreme in Harrods.

Edit: Element 115 was first reported 2003, and named Moscovium by the IUPAC in 2016.

It's an insult and a disgrace.

One thing I miss desperately about the US is taquitos, god I'd kill for some of them.

Yes, if Boris did pull some shenanigans like this or refusing to ask for an extension in defiance of the law, then Her Majesty could potentially go and ask the EU for an extension:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-49040128

Relevant part:

"Under EU law only two representatives of a member state can attend and negotiate on behalf of a member state at the European Council: head of government or head of state. So we could simply request that the Queen goes and submits the request for the extension."

It would be an extraordinary step though, given that the monarch normally stays as far away from political matters as possble.

Elephant and Castle has a large population of Colombian immigrants, and there are some great places around there. Went to one place where the menus were all in Spanish and had to dust off my limited Duolingo knowledge to order.

Who would have thought that Boris Johnson could not only unite the country but reconstitute melts into the solid form of a backbone.

Boris has committed more powerful self owns than anything Theresa May could ever have hoped for in a mere fraction of the time.

https://www.opendemocracy.net/en/opendemocracyuk/first-time-my-life-im-frightened-be-jewish/

quote:

For the first time in my life, I'm frightened to be Jewish
And non-Jews attacking the Labour party aren't helping

I am 58 years old, and for the first time in my life, I am frightened to be Jewish.

We live in a time when racism is being normalized, when Nazis parade in the streets in Europe and America; Jew baiters like Hungary's Orban are treated as respectable players on the international scene, �white nationalist� propagandist Steve Bannon can openly coordinate scare-mongering tactics with Boris Johnson in London at the same time as in Pittsburg, murderers deluded by white nationalist propaganda are literally mowing Jews down with automatic weapons. How is it, then, that our political class has come to a consensus that the greatest threat to Britain's Jewish community is a lifelong anti-racist accused of not being assiduous enough in disciplining party members who make offensive comments on the internet?

For almost all my Jewish friends, this is what is currently creating the greatest and most immediate sense of trepidation, even more than the actual Nazis: the apparently endless campaign by politicians like Margaret Hodge, Wes Streeting, and Tom Watson to weaponize antisemitism accusations against the current leadership of the Labour party. It is a campaign � which however it started, has been sustained primarily by people who are not themselves Jewish � so cynical and irresponsible that I genuinely believe it to be a form of antisemitism in itself. And it is a clear and present danger to Jewish people.

To any of these politicians who may be reading this, I am begging you: if you really do care about Jews, please, stop this.
