To understand British parliamentary procedure you to understand the concept of the Chiltren Hundreds, which nobody does.

My wife got a new ice maker. I got a new food dehydrator. We are now going to make dry ice.

So the first thing I'm going to order is a ladder. I just need to know how I'm going to get it off the roof. The second thing is a helmet for the dog. BBC News - Watch: Drone delivers first Amazon parcels in UK - BBC News www.bbc.co.uk/news/videos/...

A war without a capital W is still a war. An armed conflict is still a war. A special military operation is still a war. War is what war does.

Andrew has been arrested 🎉

Reform - Shadow Cabinet or Shady Shelf? Either way it's going to collapse.

Does this apply to all people living in the UK or only certain ethnic groups? Is it just a coincidence that it sounds very familiar to the Lebensborn policy - by you know who? And, anyway, I thought we were full. metro.co.uk/2026/02/07/r...

No truth in the rumour that MAGA is rebranding to MEGA - Make Epstein Go Away.

I haven't posted for a while. Now I have.

A whole giant gilded ballroom to shuffle awkwardly to YMCA.

Am I to assume from Robert Jenrick's recent comments about Handsworth and integration he wants non-white people to redistribute themselves into areas of low ethnic diversity? I wonder if he has discussed this with his neighbours in his village in Herefordshire.

I have just watched Expendables 4. Don't!

This is not news. A nobody who is now a has been in a party that is barely there, which does not recognise her, leaves to join a Pvt. Ltd. "party" that barely has any seats. Effect - nothing. BBC News - Ex-Tory minister Nadine Dorries defects to Reform UK www.bbc.com/news/article...

I have a strange take on patriotism. Live in the country, pay your taxes, follow the law, and try to make it a better place. Painting roundabouts doesn't fill me with a sense of pride. First, it's vandalism, and secondly, your local council has to pay to remove it. Churchill would not approve.

Despite the hype raising the Union Flag is not illegal, an act of defiance or even edgy. It can, however, be tacky. And more to the point, we are no USAdians. We are British! We do not pledge allegiance to fabric. Can we please stop copying those rebels across the pond.

I am officially old. I'm listening to the cricket on the radio.

Badenoch wants Cleverly back. Somebody should explain to the Tory party that two liabilities don't make an asset.

Today's lesson: When your taxi driver is wearing Ferrari racing shoes, it's going to be an interesting ride.

Nobody in history comes out looking good for building concentration camps.

Iran - did Trump get permission from Putin?

If you can't arrange a decent military parade in your capital, maybe going to war isn't for you.

Pete Hegseth will be fired (sooner or later, but probably very soon) because he failed to arrange a birthday party. I bet he didn't have that on his "How My Career Will End" bingo card.

The United States of America, where universal health is a dystopian authoritarian nightmare, but masked police and soldiers roaming the streets assaulting dissenters is Tuesday.

I'm convinced the whole LA/National Guard thing is a deliberate distraction from the taco thing. Therefore, I suggest, the best form of protest is to buy police and National Guardsmen tacos. Trump would burst a blood vessel if they were all eating tacos instead of shooting people.

I have an idea for a movie plot. Somebody working a humble job, cleaner, driver, accountant, tailor, etc. Plot twist, they were part of a secret agency of bad asses, which they are trying to put behind them. But then somebody they care about is kidnapped. Lots of asses get kicked. The end.

In the fight between Elon and Trump, who will back down first? It's obvious. 🌮🌮🌮🌮🌮🌮🌮🌮🌮🌮🌮

Reform decides to implode over the pressing issue of burqas. Trump and Musk are tantruming at each other. Today is a good day.

Don't forget tomorrow is Taco Tuesday. 🌮🌮🌮

The actions for the song Y.M.C.A can easily be substituted with actions for T.A.C.O. Just saying.

Just seems appropriate right now. #tacos youtube.com/watch?v=nmxL...

I am still trying to figure out why Trump's fantasy Golden Dome wasn't called any of the following; The Trump Dome The X Dome I Was Cheated 2020 Dome The Thunderdome Missed opportunities.

He has 3 beds, and this is where he sleeps.

The best part of a Trump speech is watching the people round him. Trying to look impressed by the "great" man, wondering if they are going insane, struggling not to interject and desperate not to laugh - all at the same time.

Well that didn't take long. BBC News - Calls for Reform UK councillor's suspension over 'Hitler' post - BBC News www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Do we really need to be told every 15 minutes, we have no idea what is going on in the conclave?

Do you remember what upset you in the news last month, two weeks ago, last week, yesterday? Some of it was serious, like innocent people being deported to gulags, some of it was stuff like Alcatraz, which won't happen. But we can't tell the difference or keep track of it. That is how it works!

Oh, dear God! This is governance by whim.

Happy VE day for those who remember what it was about.

Trump tells Putin to stop - and he does. This shows the power imbalance and Russia's exhaustion. The truest thing Trump has said is that he could stop the war in a day. Putin knows it, and Trump, ironically, doesn't. apnews.com/article/trum...

Tariffs will lead to an increase in smuggling.

So I typed "Heard" into Google today, and it immediately suggested "Heard and McDonald Islands." I am pretty sure that would have been pretty low on the list of suggestions yesterday.

"He is playing 4D chess." That's not clever. Chess is a 2D game. The visual representation is 3D with the pieces, but still 2D. 3D chess would be an absolute mind bender. 4D chess - you don't know chess, and you don't know how dimensions work. But you do know how to flaunt your ignorance.

The USA will not invade Greenland. Or at least my mind can't envision that scenario. I can, however, see US forces being asked to leave and bases being closed. Who would benefit in such a scenario? Not Greeland, Denmark, Canada, NATO, and most importantly, not the USA. Only one winner - Russia.

Denigrating the recipient of leaked information is not a viable defence.

So we have gone from YOLO to FAFO.
