Every now and again I think about how he "came out" as gay by staring mournfully at the camera while his female co-host read a statement in the first person about being a gay man.

Being fair to her I think she's a pretty decent person, despite being half Dutch.

And yes that might be because she was also born in Bedford.

I just remember Bridget Jones saying "I'm off to Bedfordshire" and being extremely confused, because while it's an obvious thing to anyone else, to someone who lives here it sounds redundant.

Yes her parents names are very potently absent from infromational searches. They seem to be decendents of this socialist https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Francis_Oakeshott, if I had a paid account on ancestry dot com this would probably be a lot easier.

Honestly the loving gall of it talking about the cost once house price is taken into account. Housing should not be the central loving commodity for gently caress's sake.

I guess my problem is that the structure of the economy is such that houses are constantly being bought and sold rather than you leaving school/uni, do a job for a bit and then buy the house you'll use until you retire. Maybe I'm just bitter because I'm priced out of buying a house that isn't clearly someone's garage with a window painted on the side.

Also the EU has a provision now that public services *must* be put up for private bidding first. There's some gripes about it in the Europol thread, which has been a lot quieter since we banned a bunch of racist goons a few years back.

It is possible to simultaneously think the EU is bad but also not trust the vast majority of other people who thought that at the time of the referendum, and who subsequently voted conservative over it, because they probably thought it for extremely stupid reasons.

I still stand by my belief that the EU is better off without us and our stupid island is rich enough to weather the consequences of leaving. I have to admit I didn't expect the Tories to go quite this balls to the wall.

Mind you Sunak has actually been less of an insane Brexiteer despite being the first actual leave PM. May and Truss voted remain, Johnson literally didn't care and did it to further his political ambitions.

The idea behind it is to continually discourage anyone else from trying to become the next Corbyn.

Given all the effect Brexit has had on Northern Ireland, Brexit has not been "nothing really happened. Everyone is really okay."' Like it has massively shook up the while region.

This is the "balls to the wall" part I mentioned. Considering they're the "Conservative and Unionist" Party their sheer abandonment of Northern Ireland is only not shocking because you can never trust a tory.

got any details on this?

Conservative party donor Crispin Odey is among those enjoying huge profits from the fall in the pound amid the market turmoil sparked by Kwasi Kwarteng’s mini-Budget.

Electoral Commission records show that the hedge fund manager – who once employed Mr Kwarteng as a consultant – has donated more than £350,000 to the Tories.

Odey Asset Management’s European hedge fund is said to be up about 145 per cent after Mr Odey’s firm bet against the pound and government bonds in the gilts market.
