Coming up on 30 years since the Dunblane school shooting massacre (13th March 1996) and watching another documentary about it. The families wanted to end legal handgun ownership and we passed those laws. We’ve not had a school shooting since. I ache for all Americans who cannot get this done there.

I wash them, pierce a few holes in the skin with a fork and cook them on 200 (Celsius) for around 30 mins x

Absolutely! The way it was phrased made me think we’d got stuck in too!

Shepherd pie = lamb
Cottage pie = beef

Pretty easy really

Oh the US opposition are still around then??

note that it's the right-wing parties, who have complained that UK should have joined US strikes on Iran, who are now also demanding the Labour government steps up household help with energy bills

Might need to align first I’m guessing,undo the damage the Torys did

Excellent! Now do freedom of movement with the EU and we’re off again.

The DOJ has exposed 21 victims names in its release of the Epstein Files. They sure worked hard to redact the criminals though. Disgusting.

No it’s a vape shop close by, not the actual station.

So much for being the Clacton MP. Surely there’s some disciplinary process for MPs who don’t actually do their jobs? It’s public money after all

But, rather than receiving a formal
invite to meet Trump, Farage was in
fact invited to Mar-a-Lago by a
member of the club, according to
multiple people briefed on the matter


They said Farage had hoped he would
be able to catch Trump for a
conversation as the US president was
scheduled to travel to Mar-a-Lago that
evening. However, Trump had a
change in his itinerary and decided to
stay instead in Doral, about an hour`s
drive away


The Reform leader's failure to secure
an audience with the US president
underscores a weakening of ties
between the two populist leaders who
famously formed a close friendship in
the vears before and after the 2016

Massive humiliation for Farage, who tipped off the UK press that he was flying to Florida to have dinner with Trump... only for Trump to decide he had more interesting things to do when Nigel arrived.

Oh good, it’s done.

Now it can’t find my displays at all.

Restart ….

Thing is, I don’t have a problem with the UK flag flown properly & respectfully from public buildings.

I have a problem when it’s dangling upside down half way up a lamppost & is used to declare that foreigners aren’t welcome in that area.

Reform & their voters can’t see that MASSIVE difference.

A Reform government will display Union flags on everything, right up until we replace them when we become the 51st state of America.

Spent the morning sorting the cake, with Linkin Park on YouTube and a coffee. It’s the only combination that wakes my brain up enough to concentrate for that long.

Shattered now & waiting to crash.

Cake is done. Used a pre made wrap this time, not happy with it but it’ll have to do. Got a tardis cake topper, number sparklers and some relighting candles so it’ll do to greet a new teenager!

(The tardis cake topper has his name on)

Day 4 of my migraine. It’s hormonal so it comes and goes but it’s horrible.

Was hoping it would have cleared as I’ve got a birthday cake to sort this morning and I can’t currently think.

Thank you, Sir, for speaking plain truth.

We never mention is many who are #neurodivergent spend years being given inappropriate serious medication, anti depression, anti anxiety, even anti psychotic drugs. It really is horrific as it never works, years in and out of therapy.

So if your trying to save NHS budgets tbh. Diagnosis matters.

i think a lot about how in the USA, even the mere suspicion of a petty crime can carry a penalty of death without a trial, but things like corruption & treason just set you up for cushy jobs in the future

Investigators now say the U.S. likely bombed a girls’ school in Iran, killing over 160 people, mostly children. If confirmed, it would rank among the worst civilian massacres of America’s Middle East wars.

Hope you can get hold of some!

I’m suffering with one too. Not great when I have today to sort a party out.
