It is date because they didn't have any sultanas left, also yes the jam does look a bit distressing but it is very nice!

Also that is clotted cream not butter, couldn't be arsed doing both halves so I just did half each and made a sconewich.

On the launch night of TalkTV, The News Desk, hosted by Tom Newton Dunn from 7pm to 8pm, is said to have accumulated around 54,000 viewers.

However, just a week later, this figure had fallen to 3,600, with The Guardian claiming that on Tuesday evening, the programme failed to register a single viewer for half of its broadcast.

And - if you look at the small print - these latest sanctions do not apply to the whole of the UK service sector.
There is no mention of the lawyers and the estate agents and the rest which have, in the past, helped smooth the path of Russian money and influence into the UK.

The PR firms that do the damage will be unaffected because they’re five people who barely have names but have huge address books, who are only partners but never employees, whose entire financial existence is offshored, who dine with the Borises and the Rishis and the Camerons and the Mandelsons and the Campbells and the Chopes (when they want something stopped) and the Osbornes and the Murdochs and you don’t know—none of us know their names. They hardly exist. They’re a name in a Saville Row’s tailor’s book. They’re a parking fine paid by someone else. They’re forever renters who pay no rent.

Old boss of mine was a designer, part of Bell Pottinger before it died, entirely because he needed a job at the time they were hiring. The stories he tells (and the ones he refuses to tell) make it clear that the corruption we see is merely that which we’re intentionally allowed to see.

e: Those PR firms make sure that you get articles saying things like ‘well, we need to move to a place of dialogue, of listening to Putin’s grievances, of thinking of the most pragmatic route forward to end it, and that must include considering potential legitimacy of territorial claims made by him.’

That stuff doesn’t come out a vacuum. That is bought and paid for.

The Guardian published an article a few days ago arguing against helping that was written by a person that The Guardian uncovered 16 years ago was a paid PR man for smoothing over Putin's human rights abuses and then probably forgot about. That's one way.

Yes, but remember that a lot of the UK TERF groups have been funded by American evangelicals who aren't going to be content with only taking away rights for trans people. If you decide that the definition of a woman depends on her ovaries, then it's a hop, skip and a jump away from deciding that a woman's worth depends on her ovaries.

Reproductive organs in general are more something I would design as a punishment for people I didn't like.

1. make babby accidentaly
2. hurt
3. kill you maybe
4. blood

honestly seems very much like a thing only bad people deserve.

I want to know what sick gently caress decided to make testicles intensely sensitive and put them in a vulnerable spot outside your body.

I mean the other popular option doesn't seem much better tbh, at least testicles are low maintenence and don't scream at you every month. Much human biology makes more sense if you believe in the existence of a spiteful creator.
