UK’s version of Geert Wilders, but probably a fair bit smellier for all the removeds and ales he consumes.

For Neil Peart I’d be happy to overlook any ethical considerations.

Too many. And people of Clacton got what they deserved as they voted him in.

he had entered the city centre to collect a takeaway

That’s one expensive takeway. I hope it was tasty.

The coming weekend will tell us whether the edge is gone.

Two long walks with the dogs & no alcohol. And probably as a consequence, I’ve slept really well. In my age these are more than little wins.

Is there a bigger societal waste day-in-day-out than people sitting in traffic jams? Any measure that reduces car journeys taken is a good measure in my books.

Toot-toot, moog got the boot!

Daily Fail, consistent as always, so far up Tory arse one wouldn’t believe possible.

I root for the moog to get the boot.

The rivers have already been turned into streams of shit, so all we need is a bit of pipework and we have arrived at the Tory dream, known as nightmare for the rest of us.

I would recommend focusing on pink drinks, ideally with a tiny umbrella. The locals will be delighted if you buy a round of pink ones. The more deprived the area, the more a round of pink ones will brighten up their day, especially so if there are bikers around.

I thought the picture of Biden, Schroeder, Macron and … the chap from Chipping Norton spoke volumes.

What goes on in lemmy.ml should in my view not be a concern for feddit.uk as a community, unless they start somehow substantially interfering with this instance in a concerted and prolonged way. A few individuals here and there commenting and being the twats they are does not count.

Feddit.uk members can already disengage from communities and instances they don’t like or are offended by, and create new communities where they see a need. For me these are sufficient remedies for all but very exceptional circumstances. I understand that it may be hard to get a new community going, but them are the breaks (to quote a twat I despise with a passion).

Personally I find a level of perverse entertainment in reading some of the tankie discussion, in a similar way I found Trump being the US President and Boris being the UK Prime Minister having definite entertainment value. Macabre, perhaps, but we all have our kinks.

A pint of lager is £5.60 in our local. A year ago it was £5.20.

Naively I was hoping for something a bit more civilised. All I got was a notch up in blood pressure.

Just to be clear, I did not want to make any points about politics, just rant about the quality of the debate of the people who want to lead.

Full colours across the sky is something else. It’ll be winter time for obvious reasons, and therefore typically cold as fuck, but definitely worth it.

Appetite for Destruction was my first CD. I was in Hong Kong, bought a portable CD player and the G’n’R CD. As I was walking the street in Kowloon, first notes of Welcome to the Jungle hit me with a force. I was hooked immediately. Will see Slash in couple of weeks.

I'm not sure which was first, Rainbow Rising or Metallica …And Justice for All. Both vinyls were played a lot.
