Must be a slow day.
Same but I actually to want her to live a long life dealing with the suffering she has caused to so many. She's a fucking priest, she's meant to be the best of humanity.
I think the Tories will have a lot of questions to answer about giving her a CBE and giving her a cabinet office job
One team have been working from an out of date compliance script for the past week.
I am currently arranging kneecappings for the guilty parties.
We had intended you to be
The next Archbishop but three:
The stocks were sold; the Press was squared:
The Middle Class was quite prepared.
Missed the fun in the last chat, but I'm from North Yorkshire, while also (originally) from Essex.
Don’t tell me they’re reading this nonsense at Nursery!
That is how strong it is.
*During the PIRA campaign, a non trivial chunk of SF voters were against unification. That is, supporters of a party dedicated to using armed violence to achieve unification, were against unification.
The polls are beginning to turn against him. They could very easily turn back - I suspect they will as Biden goes campaigning and starts to look very old - but it will be interesting to see how Trump reacts should the idea he is a loser start to gain traction.
I hope Trump doesn't win. Better hope Trump doesn't win. Not only will women be worse off, we will have a much much bigger and more direct russia problem on our borders.

(Cameron makes Sunak look like a bumbling amateur in this video. I am not pro conservative, but this is an expert politician at work. Very professional - this is the kind of material the tories need. 10 people of that calibre to stand a chance)
The religious hypocrisy is one of the things that annoys me most - the pious behaviour when she was presiding over this shitshow.
I didn't, but it took many years of us both saving to get enough.
Wages haven't kept up with house prices, if they had it would be a wash and not a problem, but they're down substantially which is a bad thing.
It will take many years of house prices falls and/or wage inflation and stationary prices to restore balance.
I’m only a little sorry though, after what they appear to have done to others.
ETA: To be honest, I'd be quite impressed if they're reading anything at nursery.
I don’t care what your politics are, no MP should be harassed at their own home.
We cannot and will not tolerate this.

So there's no fear of the humiliation of a heavy defeat, because that's an impossible event in his reality bubble.
Yes, Mr Cameron is doing a very good job of British diplomacy, speaking to both sides in the US today to try and unlock more Ukraine aid.
My life, right there, in a nustshell...
Things must have loosened up though, in libraryland, as even my 20 month old has his own library card, although less advanced reading habits than you had.
She can then accept her fate, for the actions that led to several wrongful imprisonments, several divorces, and several suicides, according to the law of the land.
I do recall a Philip who used to post who liked long pointless arguments over meanings of things, but must be a different person I guess.
"Right. My son had a library card two months before he was born, was reading the original Russian of War & Peace..."
I’ve just looked it up on Zoopla; it’s been sold again for £715,000

Any correction to the market will take massive negative equity or rampant inflation. Or both.
Easiest solution would be to not start here, but that's not an option.
The only solution is to build literally millions more houses.
The lack of talent on the Tory benches is down to years of CCHQ selection processes/criteria/shortlists. That's exacerbated by Boris, Truss and Sunak all selecting cabinets of their clique, further limiting the ministerial talent pool.
Who knew what, and when did they know it?
Who should have known what when, and why didn't they?
Unfortunately the library opening times means my eldest (at school) doesn't get there very often.
She had a *difficult* and *strenuous* job. Furrows brow. She bore so much responsibility in this complex and difficult job. It was so hard on her (and her family)
That’s the glossy magazine article you will be reading in a couple of years time.
What do you notice?
I was just blinded for a moment by the totally unexpected, brief glimmer of competence from the tory party 🤣🤣🤣
The cost of getting a deposit to get onto the ladder is the bigger barrier.
10% at 2x income is easier than 10% at 8x income.
Totally agree that we need millions of extra homes, not a few hundred thousand extra.
As the Bible says - do unto others as you would have done to yourself and she allowed innocent people to be bankrupted even after she had been told the reality
So if PO lawyers advised her to send very aggressive letter to claimants as part of their strategy to scare them off and/or bankrupt them I can see her meekly going along with it, even if it's something she'd never choose to write that way herself independently.
Basically, it's a strength of character issue.
Where you live and the housing you live in is likely to be one of the major determinants of people's quality of life. So it follows that people will dedicate a large proportion of their income to maximising the quality of housing that they live in. So you might expect that a lot of people will always buy the most expensive housing they can afford, and so housing costs will still dominate personal expenditure.
You might also consider restricting mortgage lending as a way of reducing the amount of money that is being used to bid up the price of housing. If you could also do something to make other investments a relatively better option for people then you would also reduce the amount of investment capital being poured into housing (and hopefully that investment capital would find a home somewhere that would increase productivity in the economy).
It seems like you could end up with lower house prices, and more owner-occupiers, with the same housing stock that we have today. Though there are lots of other good reasons for building new houses.
He definitely didn’t write “Es are good” though

There needs to be a post-WWII-scale effort that includes cheap rental and purchase options, likely modern pre-fab construction, and with loans underwritten by government.
Why otherwise would the GOP still be talking about legislating for a federal nationwide ban ?
If it was solely reserved for individual states, then I would support it. But already you've had a State Court in Texas attempt to impose a nationwide ban on an FDA approved drug. Not a Texas ban, but a nationwide one.
The former was apparently more of a bar than the latter though.
Mostly (it seems) on grounds that when he received his initial letter from Alan Bates, he'd only been the responsible (in one sense anyway) minister for about 15 minutes or thereabouts.
Which raises the question - so what did Ed Davey do re: the PO Scandal AFTERWARDS during the rest of his time in office? OR when he left HMG?
Answer seems to be - diddly squat. OR is that unfair to ED?
(I was brought up on visits to the County Ground - mostly paid visits, but my dad's employer had a space in one of the hospitality tents for a while and few clients were interested, so I even got to join the prawn sandwich brigade, as it were, at times). Also saw the England U19s beat Australia U19s one summer - with many of the players that later regained the ashes in 2005.)
ETA: I've not been to Headingley. My heart is still very much with Essex CCC, even if I've adopted Yorkshire in many other ways.
I suspect that there are a huge number of people living in the UK that aren't counted in the measures used. In London it's often hard to hear English being spoken, and many tradespeople (those that actually do the jobs) don't speak English at all.
The beauty and the power,
The shapes of things,
Their colours, lights and shades,
These I saw.
Look ye also while life lasts.
For most of our lifetimes we've had an abortion ban in part of the UK. Any American who is serious about moving beyond the culture wars should support making it a question for the states.
If it were "reserved to the individual States" that would be constitutional fact, and your (or anyone else's) support or otherwise would be irrelevant.
What the Dobbs ruling did was to say that women have no constitutionally protected right to choose to have an abortion.

When I read the book and watched the original series of "The Handmaid's Tale", despite the fine book/series that it is, the only point where I had really had to suspend belief was the necessity to dismiss the implausibility that a small covert group of extremists could somehow stage a coup d'etat and take control of the USA by force.
Unfortunately, if Margaret Attwood were writing the book today, she would now have available to her a much more plausible scenario that led saw the accession to power of extremists who were able to overturn democratic institutions once in power. All the ingredients are there - the new populist politics that has emerged on the back of social media and the emergence of a figure able to exploit them, the luck of being faced with a geriatric opponent, Trump's willingness to sacrifice democratic norms if he gets the chance, the inability of his party to challenge him given the importance of his patronage and a pliant Supreme Court that he will be able to pack even further to do his bidding.
An awful lot depends on TSE being right about November, else fact might come to resemble fiction.

Why yes. Yes it could.
Labour have.
Just as well logic isn’t their strong point.
FWIW - I know for a fact that Gove and Johnson spent 21st of June to 23rd of June 2016 trying to ensure there wasn't a vote of confidence against Dave is Remain won.
There were enough of the ERG ready to trigger a confidence vote.
And on one hand, best of luck to them. There comes a moment when a family house like that becomes unmanageable, and the best time to downsize is a bit before that.
But there's an important caveat. That is fine, if and only if, the generations below also have access to reasonably-priced forever family homes where and when they need them. That doesn't have to mean the sort of things developers tend to build right now; I'd go for copying and pasting Winsdor Gardens from the Paddington movies as well. To the extent that Britain is richer now than in generations past, there's no reason (apart from choices we make) why nice places to live should be in short supply. It's one of the easier problems we have to solve.
However, hogging the nice places to live while refusing to allow any more to be built just isn't on.
Speaking, not that relevantly, of duplicates & Russian dolls:

Davey's main point was that as a supposedly independent business, it rather than the government was responsible for what the business does. Bates was having none of that as the government was and is the sole shareholder. I don't think anyone can disagree, but I have a bad feeling I would have taken the same line as Davey in his shoes.
A good example to people whose
English is painful to your ears?
The Scotch and the Irish leave you close to tears.
There even are places where English completely
Disappears. In America, they haven't used it for years!
