I get the feeling that this is more 'publicity stunt' than 'good faith debate about sex and relationship education' though.

Its absolutely this. There's no way the marketing/PR agencies involved in this didn't understand how this would come across/be received.

Its the main aim of this campaign. They WANT the controversy so this will go viral, despite the potential harm it may do.

Whether its because they want to start a conversation or just want some time in the media spotlight, who knows. Knowing how these agencies work, they may want the former but will not achieve the latter.

Exactly this. There was zero need for him to stick his dick in a meat grinder when he has no control of the power button, especially when he can't even bring himself to comment on the other major world conflicts. It's probably a mixture of "Jamdad supported peace and went on about East Timor and things people don't care about so I must therefore do the opposite" as with the Black Marxists comment, and factional bullshit related to

Oh I missed your edit.
Sat in a pub once in 1980 after the most boring of LP meetings and all they were jabbering on about was GCs & ECs etc. So I sighed and said to the bloke opposite me "Hail Eris", having looked equally as bored as me, his eyes lit up and he said "All hail Discordia!" so we left the LP behind as we compared notes on The MGT etc.

Mediterranean regions alternating between golf ball sized hail and torrential floods to being on fire on a regular basis for most of last summer has probably driven up prices.

Although with the Brexit import checks due to be finally phased in this year £6 might seem like a bargain by Christmas. Better start stocking!

Ministers deny plans for May election but face calls to explain summit cancellation

quote:

A minister has been forced to deny plans for a May election as the government faced calls to explain why a top diplomat was kept ‘in the dark’ over the cancellation of a major summit in April.

Rishi Sunak had been due to host political and business leaders from 25 different African countries at the gathering in London.

But it will not now be held at the end of April, a decision taken so abruptly the event’s official envoy was already on his way to visit the continent when he found out, ministers have admitted.

Just :lol:

FWIW the olive oil shortage is due to the climate disaster affecting the regions that grow them. It's dear for us, but other places are being denied them so it can come to our richer countries.

I did that with sunflower oil whenever the invasion of Ukraine began. There's still about 5l in the cupboard below the stairs.

lol just checked and the stuff we usually buy is £10/500ml and Tesco own brand is £5.75. Guess I'm buying that Fry-Light spray stuff the next time I run out.

I recall she claimed to not know how that worked. It's fine as long as everyone gives enthusiastic consent though, which makes it better than Thatcherism.
