I remember being terrified of the Jessflaps Menace, which shows just how effective propaganda can be. Fairly sure I just voted RLB with no second choice when it actually came to it.

Same actually, if RLB hadn’t won I didn’t really care because the others clearly wouldn’t be any good. With the deputy leader it was Butler -> Burgon -> Rayner and then didn’t bother with a preference for the other two.

I did some polite enquiring about this when a few people were enthusiastically talking about royal gossip in an office I used to work at. They told me that it's not going to be an issue because Charles is going to die before Brenda

They were absolutely certain about this, and these are people who love the royals & support the monarchy. idgi

e: I get the implication that Brenda is going to murder her firstborn son, it's the "& that's cool & normal" that stumps me

She’s going to have him buried alive with her, like pharaohs did with their servants.

Should we have got any census stuff by now? I got a flyer saying that the census was coming and that I should look out for it, but nothing since then.

A person of culture I see. Another avenue for revenue for artists beyond merch are vinyl releases. So if you have a record player you, too, can enjoy the experience of putting on some really fancy pressings, like this one.

Yeah vinyl is great. I like having the physical thing that I know isn’t going to vanish overnight if a service provider shuts down, they usually come with download codes these days too

A vinyl collection is a total ballache if you ever have to move house though.

Labour intending to back the Tories’s plan to seize Liverpool council for four years, city which hasn’t returned a Tory councillor in over a decade. Seems pretty clear Starmer is more keen to destroy the Labour Party than even I am.

I find the hate for London in general by leftists very strange - London has been the consistent bastion of the left for like a century and was the one place outside of the North West that stayed solid for Corbyn. London has way more socialist and radical credentials than say, Yorkshire, which rubs me the wrong way how some people from the North talk about the capital.

I dunno if people really hate Londoners per se, it’s the vampiric city itself draining all money, talent and opportunities from the rest of the country.

“It’s cool” with occasional “oh poo poo this cream is about to go off” (e; you do get the butter milk as well which makes it ever so slightly profitable)


It is way more delicious than your supermarket own brand butters though - I do a thing where I combine it with black garlic and then spread it on toast.

Double cream NEVER lasts to the point where it’s going to go off in our house. Have been wanting to do my own butter at some point though

I’m probably going to end up going into the office at most one or two days a week when it’s safe to, it’s so much nicer not having to spend two hours commuting each day.

Oddly for a software company they’ve generally been against much working from home because the boss thinks people will use it as an excuse to doss off, but the last year has changed that and the fact that the company can expand without having to constantly find new offices is a huge plus.

Ah the 2012 Olympic ceremony where not only did we see the celebration of our rapist mascot and Royal family who's wealth came from tearing the entire planet to shreds we also saw the servants who we literally started deporting once they hit retirement age and Dizzie singing Bonkers.

Honest tae loving Christ it'd be less offensive if it was written by Uncle Ruckus

Its also more than a little revisionist, given the loud shrieking about unnecessary multiculturalism in the opening ceremony from the usual suspects.
