Freedom Day will soon be upon us. It is time to take a holiday from the office at home; a jaunt from joblessness; a vacation from vagrancy. It is time to be free to work again. Freedom.

so far

This country invented antivax, just not for this virus.

But you know what Andrew Wakefield did after losing his licence to practice in the UK?

He went to America, and started doing talks, during the Trump years. He's not solely responsible for their movement, but they certainly caught our disease.

I find the liquid salicylic acid that comes in a glass vial with a brush works better than the gel stuff. Mainly because it just melts a hole in your foot.

Drake refused to fully engage with the Spanish as they traversed the Channel because they were both outnumbered him and were more heavily-armed and had loads of troops on board, so a close-range battle would have been a slaughter. Instead he waited until they anchored at Dunkirk and sent in fireships to break up the formation, allowing 2 or 3 English ships to ambush individual Spanish ships - the English, being mostly pirates buccaneers, were much more used to this form of combat. Unfortunately because they were pirates free-spirited entrepreneurial wealth-creators they then proceeded to take prizes rather than actually continuing in combat. The Spanish escaped in more than enough numbers to have another go, but then a storm washed them into the north coasts of Scotland and Ireland. The weather, not the Fine Traditions Of Etc, defeated the Armada.

Now personally if I were in charge of the Remain forces, once I realised I'd lost the gage, I'd have sent the Momentum flotilla in close to the rear of the UKIP squadron, enraging the fishermen - presumably both the best sailors and best fighters in the UKIP line - and hopefully pulling them away, then sent my main force into a reverse crossing-the-T on the UKIP van and forced them into a boarding battle - I'm certain Geldof and Church could take Farage and Hoey without breaking a sweat. Much like at Trafalgar the idea is to let chaos and entropy do a lot of the work for you.

I'd have hidden the momentum flotilla in Poplar Dock and formed a feigned retreat into Blackwell Basin with the remain boats, to try and lure the kippers into Blackwell Basin. Once they're in, turn the remain flotilla around and get the momentum flotilla to emerge from Poplar dock at the sides.

Apparently there's been a big fire at the Scottish Crannog Centre. Which was a museum on the banks of Loch Tay which had a bunch of Iron Age finds from the area as well as a replica of the crannogs that people used to live on there. No idea what the damage is to the artifacts but it doesn't sound good.

Police are saying that a rowing boat was seen approaching the centre prior to the conflagration. They're asking witnesses to come forward if they have any information on a 70ft long vessel in the area with roughly 50 oars, a square sail and several round shields lined up along the bulwarks.

This house has sky so I get access to a whole host of news channels. GB news are in good company when it comes to odd design choices and fallible audio quality. As for the issues they report on, however, they're fairly unique.

I flick through the B list news channels from time to time because most of them are English language news from other parts of the world. They're reporting on:

Erdrogan's visit to Azerbaijan in light of the Nagorno-Karabakh crisis.
Hundreds of thousands of Rohingya people being relocated to a breeze block built hell island.
Israel flag day attacks.
A protester being beheaded in Saudi Arabia.
Iran's elections.
Japan's parliament not dissolving until October.

GB news was interviewing Saj allowing him to explain why Begum should not have citizenship or be allowed into the UK.

Given that they have a niche, I think they could make it. Especially if they keep getting free advertising from any outrage or supposed embarrassments they incur. If left online spheres keep holding them up as an example of everything bad about media, it's going to help the right find them and love them.

Lib Dem gains in Tory areas aside, I hope the Greens fill more of Labour's voids than the Lib Dems. It'd be a shame for history to look upon the Labour movement as an aberration: something that hung around for a century before things went back to normal Con/Lib balances. It'd be good to make it clear that the reason Labour died is not through a desire to return to Con/Lib, but to move further left.

I agree but I think we're talking about different points here. I'm not saying destroy amazon's infrastructure. I'm saying political capital can be easily wasted on the wrong part of these problems. Amazon can fight this fight, lose it, and have everyone think a big win has been achieved because now they're not throwing away as many pieces of slave made crap.

What I find patronising is when I'm offered an apprenticeship for an entry level role. Firstly, you're a cheapass oval office. Secondly, you don't need a BTEC Level 2 to move poo poo in a warehouse, and you don't need two years to study for a Level 2. Either admit you're a cheapass oval office, or admit your evaluation of me is someone who needs two years to be taught how to move boxes.
