Anglo-Italian. EC official. Bit of politics, mostly Brexit but also general EU stuff. Bonus points for knowing where I Say, Porter! originated.
Just when the universe was on a winning streak of taking horrible cvnts (Widdecombe, Graham, McConnell) it hits us with Sam Neill. Fuxake.
Disappointed we haven't had a "Tuchel's Luck" headline yet. Surely it's overdue? Come on, headline-writers! #WC2026
Number crunching: “Reform is now the party of workers” From the new Private Eye, out now.

BREAKING: Farage's girlfriend buys £2m house in the Manor of Northstead for cash.
Mark@quigonsmith.bsky.social · 4w ago🔥
There's as much chance of him turning up in the Manor of Northstead as there was of him turning up in Clacton.
We're going to find out, once and for all, when Bin Day is.
Count Binface@countbinface.bsky.social · 4w agoOn my way, Clacton.
I suppose the question is whether Farage's resignation as an MP will affect his attendance to represent Clacton in Westminster. Hard to see how it could.
Surely we're not lurching towards a GE *already*, Carol?
Carol Hedges@riotgrandma.bsky.social · last mo.🧡🧡🧡🧡 This is my Libdem MP She has no 2nd, 3rd job. She holds surgeries She writes a column for the local paper She answers my emails - why she has got involved in hospices She WORKS for us and with us. As we lurch towards a GE - might be a tactical choice. They seem good locally. Not backstabbers!
Board game idea: BONOPOLY: like Monopoly but where the streets have no name.
The "Donald J. Trump & Jeffrey Epstein Memorial Reading Room” will be in Washington, D.C., open June 9–14. It contains more than 3.5 million pages of unsealed court records & investigative files related to Epstein, printed into over 3,400 volumes weighing more than 17,000 pounds. #SheShed

Isn't it interesting that so many domestic terror organisations with campaigns of murder and mayhem have three-letter acronyms: IRA ETA GOP
Stewart Lee was brilliant tonight: "If you're unsure of which toilets you can use feel free to shit in a bag and mail it to Graham Linehan, he sorts through them by hand"
Nigel Farage. What a cunt. That’s the post. Good morning.
Think your IT is shit? I can double-click a PDF, pop down 4 floors to the cafétéria for a cappuccino, and by the time I get back to my desk the PDF's nearly ready to open.
Though smaller than last year, the Unite the Kingdom march over the weekend was still sickening. The resurgence of out-and-out racism in the UK, from demands for remigration of British Asians to Antisemitic slurs on placards at both demonstrations, demands we meet this moment.
These new Reform councillors are shiny. What's everyone afraid of?
MEGA (Make England Great Again) is rising and it should frighten us all. From Farage Camps to Local Election results everything is going Reform's angry way and Britain's decent majority need to step up now. Inaction is no longer an option. Me for @noosphere.app www.noosphere.app/farage-camps...
Farage Camps, Reform Gains and Snake Oil - why Britain's decent majority need to wake up to MEGA

I think it's unfair of people to say Trump and Vance are ignorant about the Bible. There are genuinely no limits to their ignorance.
I suggest people lauding Trump's unconditional surrender to Iran have a good read of the Treaty of Versailles and the impact of *that* abject humiliation of a major power.
Things that help calm the nervous system, quickly: - Box breathing (in for 4, hold for 4, out for 4, hold for 4, repeat) - Immerse your face in cold water (activates mammalian dive reflex) - Humming (stimulates vagus nerve) - Exercise (anything helps, outside even better) - Impeachment and removal
So that's Trump's UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER sorted. When does America get its GREAT & ACCEPTABLE leader(s)?
So United Airlines have declined to give me the gluten-free meal I ordered. If I'm going to fly across the Atlantic sitting on the loo, I should get a refund on the seat I paid for.
Saw Tolkein and HP Lovecraft described as 'top shelf' on Reddit. Had to Google to make sure the US meaning of 'top shelf' is different from the British.
Possibly the main reason why the people ignoring Trump's depravity are as dangerous as the ones excusing or actively supporting is that he wil clearly start a war to avoid scrutiny of anything from ICE to Epstein if he thinks he will get away with it.
@mehdirhasan.bsky.social Caligula made his horse a senator. There's an argument that the top 3 dumbest elected officeholders in the world ever are: 3. 45 2. Caligula's horse 1. 47
