Sure you have Brexit and the worst income disparity in Europe, but your wildlife is adorable instead of "possibly ready to kill you" like most of the places you colonized.

A hedgehog? That's sweet. In Canada we get poo poo that can at the very least carry off your dog, if not you, and Australia has things that are like "ya, this spider LOVES to live in bedsheets, and if it bites you, it has a venom that makes your penis fall off."

EDIT: gently caress, brutal snipe.

Hedgehogs are the best and the biggest downside to where I currently live is that there are no hedgehogs.

E: Vvv very true and it makes me sad.

To be fair there's basically no hedgehogs left in the UK either. Something like 90+% fall in numbers over the last couple of decades.

I'm about a five minute train ride to Shepreth wildlife park and they have a fantastic hedgehog hospital facility there. And the good news is there's been a boom of births there lately!

they aren't great, but they take a lot of blame for doing what comes naturally to them, whereas it's socially acceptable for humans to keep tipping really nasty poisons on everything to keep a patch of grass so people can pretend to be 17th century aristocrats

Thanks :) yeah great willowherb matches the flowers and the seedheads perfectly.

Flattering description of my yard too

Epilobium hirsutum inhabits damp and waste places, river-sides and ditches.

I think between them and the ragwort they'd easily take over the whole yard if I let them, but it's good to let a few grow tall for the bees and moths.

One of the nice things about our village is that everyone has cut little hedgehog size holes in the bottom of their gates / fences, so the little guys can get in and out of gardens easily.

There's a few times I've let the dog out to pee and he's found tiny spiky friends, but luckily he has no idea what to do with them and just sniffs them, fascinated:

Awww bless.

Previous years I've spotted them and a many a moon ago I helped one who had gotten its foot caught in a can some arsehole had only partially pulled the lid off and then clearly not thrown in a bin. Had to manually open it with a can opener to save the lil' guy.

Sometimes, in a city this dirty, you need a real hero.
So, on this leadership bollocks, its pretty obvious to everyone that Sunak's going to win it right?

All of this posturing by other candidates just seems like a game to make things seem more interesting than they are.

And nobody has heard of most of the other fuckers.

Supposedly Penny Mountdoom is the odds-on favourite, but she might have kneecapped herself on the trans stuff. Liz Truss is also likely to beat him in a straight vote, if she can survive the MP gauntlet.

I also wanted to say thanks to the three here who thanked me for getting them on the legal medi :420: waggon. I get a massive buzz just knowing the difference that legal access makes to most people's lives, so it really has been my pleasure.

While we are in a recession with a living expense crisis going on, any Government would be crazy to call a GE.
I don't expect one until 2024. Maybe we might get one squeezed in very late 2023.

There's no way the Tories try to struggle on through a cost of living crisis for two years without doing anything, and there's no way they do anything. Any new leader is going to call a GE to take advantage of the bounce, even if they only promise air.

Based on what? Historically this hasn't happened. May did it sure, we got one only a year after she came in. Callaghan, Major, Brown? None of them did.

At the moment the tories still have a majority, the odds of them winning MORE seats are tiny, even with an ineffective opposition. And Mays stunt is still fresh in peoples minds and cost them a huge number of seats even if she managed to scrape a win.

I could be wrong, the tories are an arrogant lot, but it would be incredibly stupid for them to do it.

Sunak is presenting himself as the continuity candidate, so I suspect whoever else makes it through absorbs the anti-Johnson votes. It'll be interesting to see where the MPs fall on that spectrum.

There's no way in hell whoever wins calls an election at this point when they're behind in the polls. They've got two years that they can blame the previous administration and build their support.
