The X5 is my local bus between Oxford and Cambridge and the idea that 5 buses full of rozzers emerging clown-car-like to surround you is way funnier than it should be on a Saturday afternoon.

They're not on the ballot here. Yet another Cardiff-centred party ignoring the true Wales.

I can vote for the Communist party of Britain, a grab-bag of Plaid Cymru offshoots, covid-denier nutjobs, the Welsh Christian Party, but no Welsh nudists.

If you have a knife the easiest way to get money out of a naked man is to stab him and then make necropants.

E: actually though I forgot you need permission to do that so I guess you also need to be extremely persuasive.

If Kieth Sterner is the wrong'un stabbing someone, his boxing form suggest he'd only inflict a flesh wound.
No necropants for Kieth.

A naked dude with a poo poo eating smile, and two naked dudes hugging, are more photogenic, natural, and more relatable than any Keir picture to date.

The Tories are a bunch of dirty rotting scoundrels but they're rich.

Labour are do gooder naive fools (except they're actually crooked too when it comes down to it) who want to give my money to poor people.

Enough people are already rich or believe the Tories will maintain a country in which they've got a shot at being rich that the leader of either party is neither here nor there. Although sometimes can provide a handy excuse to explain why you're voting for the badies instead.

In addition to what others have said, the alternative is the 'I believe in nothing and won't do anything' guy. Johnson's managed to land on his feet with the vaccine program, which has ended up being the most significant government handout since the Blair years. What do Labour have to counter that tremendous success - repeating 'Tory Sleaze' a hundred times?

labour are also just going "well of course they're doing well because they did a fantastic job of the vaccine", rather than saying that they hosed every single other thing up, killed 150,000 people through malice and incompetence, and the only reason they bet so heavily on the vaccine is because they wanted to rely entirely on them rather than lockdowns and they would have turned us into India in the process

like how have they let bojos blood for the blood god moment slip from their grasp if they genuinely think his handling of the vaccine is responsible for the "bounce"

I guess she had to write that piece - even the BBC in its incarnation as Kuennsberg can't ignore that Johnson is a liar, but it's a very 'on the one hand, but on the other hand'.

The nerve of comparing the vile specimen to Steve Jobs though! (I'm no Jobs fan, and I won't give houseroom to iStuff, but at least Jobs produced things, until Waffle Brain).

This line at the end makes it clear to me where her sympathies lie - excusing his foul behaviour with this.

But as one of the few people who genuinely knows Boris Johnson once told me, he is a politician who above all, wants to be loved.

Either Starmer is an op or he genuinely thinks he shouldn't criticise the government because focus group Tory voters like Johnson, which would make him the most bewilderingly incompetent leader in the history of the office. Or maybe both!

quote:

Brenig Osprey Project partners woke up this morning to the worst possible news. Last night, at 21:42, someone took a chainsaw to the osprey nest and felled it... The protected bird of prey laid its first egg a day before the nest was felled...

I can't really describe why this one has got to me. As I get older I find myself wanting to check myself for terrible regressive tendencies, not to become one of those "kids these days" types, sharing social media post about how people are definitely hiding carpet tacks in dog food in the park, and all the other odd things my otherwise wonderful and politically astute aunts and uncles have fallen into. I do hate that social media - shares video "someone was mean to a cat, so we should hang him" morality - the lazyness of feeling distantly superior to someone, everyone hunting the web for a sense of moral superiority. I do of course feel disgust at the cruelty, but I personally (you may feel different) do not think animals are more important than humans, and will always donate aid to the homeless before any donkey sanctuary. I usually worry about the person, and think "drat, what messed you up that badly".

But here, yeah, these rare creatures laid an egg the day before, people are watching excitedly on the webcam, the joy of nature and trying to amend to the species for the deaths we humans have caused - and some bastard thought : nope, can't have that, carefully conspired in the dead of night, and cut it down with a chainsaw. I genuinely wish for something horrible to happen to whoever did that - and for whatever reason my immediate thought was - "bet it was some 4chan prick doing it for online clout" - in reality it was probably just a cranky local landowner, but maybe my brain really is becoming poisoned by too many birthdays.

I need to go take a walk in the sunshine.
