Did a Christmas shop earlier today (Sheffield), it’s all fine. Probably less busy than a normal year even because of the crowd management outside the store.

In a lot of the torrent type stream clients everyone's technically doing a bit of the broadcast as well as watching, so I'm sure America's notoriously fair legal system will be accounting for that.

Well as you can see our Brexit board is quite full and many people have spoke to us waffle waffle Doesn’t mean they’ll throw their vote away on a less orange version of the Lib Dem’s though does it? What even are your policies? We went on like this for some time until she laughed at the idea of me supporting Corbyn and called him a racist repeatedly. It was honestly such fun and I really think MPs should stand in town squares to be mocked and derided as a regular fixture.

Waitrose trip report: No queue outside, quite busy but not as busy it has been on Saturdays throughout. Shelves well stocked - except I noticed their shelves of 'pillowcases' actually had 1 towel each on them and no pillowcases.

That reminds me how I actually greeted her: ‘you’re in cuktig, or cuktinge or whatever it’s called these days aren’t you?’ It was a couple of days after that whole thing broke. It really pressed home to me how awful it must be being a by the books politician. There I was standing there mocking her and obviously having no intention of being swayed by her and she just had to... stand there and be polite. Unbelievably humiliating.

As absolutely awful as the UK pandemic response has been there was at least (lovely, too short, too many exemptions) lockdown and (lovely, too short, too many exemptions) furlough. I believe "it was just about possible that we could have handled it worse therefore we handled it great" is the current tory party line.

It's like claiming you followed the recipe for a meal when you end up with something inedible and then blaming the recipe that other people have demonstrably managed to follow just fine.

Jedit posted:1980s, but yes. Zenith is basically superhero Robbie Williams and a complete twat, the villain of book 2 is Richard Branson, and book 3 contains practically every classic British hero from the Fleetway/IPC era. The books get increasingly weirder and weaker though, so stop when you've had enough. Bix Barton, now there's a character who needs to make a return.

The state needs to establish that it can pick winners rather than pretend that cheaper is always better or that there's neutrality in tendering and then we argue that they should always prioritise environmentally sustainable, better employee paying companies.

Also, Boris just made Peter Cruddas - a Tory donor and ex-Treasurer accused of cash-for-access - a peer, despite the Lords Appointment Commission saying it was a bad idea. Oh, and of course he was a fan of Brexit. Just saw that Keith recommended the person who chaired his own loving Leadership campaign. It's nice that the graft happens on both sides of the aisle, isn't it?
