Also, there's presumably a lot of mileage in having links to Nadine Dorries when she's - and this bears repeating because otherwise at some point I'll assume it's fake - the Culture Secretary.

Which they won't do if they don't know about it. This explains why it is so important to shoot missionaries on sight.

As a species we are designed to try and completely blank out the idea that kids die, which is why we as a society never talk about it. The figures are close to about 1 in 4 pregnant women will suffer a miscarriage during the course of their life. But it's only recently that it is being in any way discussed. That's why children dying and any form of tragedy with children attracts so much magnification.

If they're going to omit key details or worse replace them with deliberate conjecture I'd rather they didn't bother. It could have been a discussion point about childhood mental health and instead it's just a new round of the yellow man's appium.

The Question IRL posted:In defence of this being in the news, children dying is one of the last great taboos in our society. Infant mortality has gone from being the norm to vanishingly rare over the course of a century. Gains in life expectancy have much more to do with the eradication of childhood disease than improved geriatric care (although that has improved as well). Go back a couple of hundred years, and anybody surviving to adulthood has a pretty good chance of making it to threescore and ten, it was the ones who didn't make it that far that kept the average life expectancy figures down.

But also hearty lol at his useless legal team for accidentally submitting a copy of all the data on Alex's phone then not doing anything to get it back or even telling Alex about the error until the prosecution began putting up slides showing his own texts and emails and started pointedly asking if he understood what Perjury is.

Mr Phillby posted:I feel like something is going to happen that voids the whole trial or something its really weird seeing some who really, really deserves it get theirs it doesn't feel real to me. Turns out it wasn't an image of his phone it was a backup of another lawyer's hard drive who was working on a parallel legal case and had more than just an image of his phone, including medical records, which the plaintiff (the lawyer for the Sandy Hook parents) said he was filing sanctions on the defence lawyer for leaking illegally. Also the defence claimed he did try to get them back on the day but the judge was like "yes I saw your email it didn't invoke privilege"

My mum had four miscarriages and i never heard a word mentioned in the family until she was dead and buried, probably explains why he was so very overprotective with me. All that messed with her head a bit and had the knock-on effect of messing with mine to a degree (don't wrap your children in cotton wool, let them live ffs). Can't blame her for that tbh, having all that happen to her in the 1950s with no mental support would distort anyones life.

So I see Momentum founder Jon Lansman has sadly suffered a serious brain injury that has apparently caused him to forget the entirety of the past 7 loving years. https://twitter.com/cymrurouge/status/1556042363847544832?s=20&t=gZxPCcZDmUtWCm4V0XdLnA Yes, the liberals & self-declared social democracts are absolutely going to be willing to work with the left, please no, don't look at the Jeremy Corbyn years

I can't see any other way of getting PR through other than dissolving the union or just dissolving the central power structure in revolution (or some kind of acid). Maybe one of those works. Maybe several do. Maybe none. As the Cuban outreach movement said to wannabe communists in the past, may as well try everything.

Lansman's spent the last 30 years in and around the Labour apparatus - while he's definitely had his moments, you can't avoid brain worms for that long.

I wish I were brave. So much poo poo coming out of Gaza the last couple of days but I'm too much of a coward to share the posts on FB. I did share the tweet about Justin Welby / Sandi Toksvig and I've seen a couple of friends have shared the original article (not the tweet) since though only 1 commented on the post. Fkin pain in the rear end being a people pleaser and knowing that posting them will lose me a bunch of 'friends'. Whoever said older people are more confident was lying.

I don't think he even has to do the oddity of accepting a crown office, if he's just going to no longer sit as MP for Uxbridge and South Ruislip and instead wants to run for the seat of MP for Mid Bedfordshire then he can just do it. If he specifically wants to run as the Conservative Party candidate for Mid Beds then he needs the party to sign off on it, according to whatever conditions they have, but at no point does he need to kowtow to anything as low down and common as actual people, voters, citizens, or so-called political processes.

Probably the best thing we did was a walking tour with a student, he was unbearably upbeat about how great Cuba was for the first half, and then his minder left and we went to a rooftop bar and drank mojitos while he moaned about being forced to clap.

The BBC website just loves to splash the front page with big pics of Liz Truss, it has been really egregious over the last couple of weeks. Not even a perfunctory attempt to hide the bias.
