I'm not a conspiracy guy. I generally believe things happened just as they looked. But, being ex-military and working with weapons, I've yet to hear an explanation for how Bone Spurs was hit in the ear with a high-velocity rifle round and ended up with nary a scratch or a scar. It doesn't happen.
I wonder would it build me one if I asked it nicely? Bit bigger mind.

The world is full of remarkable women that manage to tun a home, bring up kids and do really good stuff. That more than counters the Melanias of this world. IMHO

True. He’s wasted our money and time to save his lizard skin. We, the people pay for elections. This one will have cost about 1/4 of a million. The man is loathsome. Only Good thing ? A cosmic rubbish bin got almost 1/2 the votes the lizard got. He calls it a victory.
Sarah Murphy@13sarahmurphy.bsky.social · 3w agoThe only things this ridiculous Clacton by-election farce have confirmed: 1) Farage is wholly unfit for public office, given his willingness to abuse it 2) Farage is corrupt 3) Farage is an attention-seeking, charmless, lying dickhead 4) Clacton has let us all down. Again. That’s it.
It was Count Binface’s best-ever result at a parliamentary election.
I know I've got a special bottle set aside for the occasion. 🎉

If you don't get the A-level grades you wanted, just remember that Richard Tice got an E in his Politics and maths A-Levels and still went on to be an entitled prick who thinks he should be Chancellor.
How come Bluesky has become so difficult to use. I try to post an image here and the whole thing freezes and I have to crash out. I’ve wasted half an hour just trying to post one image.
I really rankle at the assumption that everyone is using it on a daily basis, and is so addicted they wouldn't be able to function without it.
I love this poem and this is One of the most beautiful versions i have ever seen. Every good bookshop should stock it
I love Larry The Cat and Sarah Murphy. Great team.
Sarah Murphy@13sarahmurphy.bsky.social · last mo.Farage can *never* be PM. His greed and needy vanity make him an enormous national security risk. He has no clue how to behave with dignity or probity. The day he gets booted out of public life for good cannot come soon enough. If Clacton has its wits about it, it could be in less than a month.
Got my postal vote in early - time Farage went out with the garbage.
The Grove Bookshop, Ilkley, Yorkshire took delivery of the first 3 books of tales - I think they do mail order - but if you’re close enough to go to Ilkley then do visit the shop - it’s seriously lovely - copies also available at The Portico Library Shop Manchester and Limestone Books, Settle.
“If I drive drunk down the road, I can't then say: Tell you what, instead of appearing before a magistrate, I'll stand for councillor instead and let the people of Bermondsey decide if I am innocent. That's not how any of this f*****g works. You don't get to use popularity as a form of acquittal.”
