I had quite forgotten that Earl Spencer had actively intervened to prevent tabloid editors, including Piers Morgan and Paul Dacre, from attending Princess Diana's funeral. They had initially been invited by the Royal Family.

A country isn't bankrupt if it can afford to send £3.5 billion a year to Ukraine for the foreseeable future.
If we can afford war, we can afford pensions.
They think we're stupid.

In 2014 I was all for letting everyone who lived in Scotland vote on Scotland's constitutional future. That was a big mistake. If we had used the same rule book as David Cameron did in the Brexit referendum Scotland would be an independent country today: nitter.cf/pjwoodside/status/2101…
Centre on Constitutional Change found:
Scottish-born voters:
52.7% Yes
47.3% No
Born elsewhere in rUK England, Wales, Northern Ireland: 72.1% No
Born outside the UK: 57.1% No
Those born outside Scotland (especially rUK) swung the overall result to No

This is going to be a very bad winter, possibly the worst ever. Prepare for power outages. Stock plenty of non-perishable food and tap water. Think about lighting and battery options. Think about how to stay warm.

BREAKING: For the first time in four years, Yemen's Houthis have struck Saudi Arabia's King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh with drones, hitting the main jet fuel tanks, with flames and a massive plume of black smoke over the airport, per Reuters.
Saudi Arabia lost its most advanced fighter jet to the Houthis on Wednesday, flew no strikes as Mocha fell, and bombed its own allies on the Bab el-Mandeb coast Monday.

Netanyahu said that an Iranian nuclear strike on Israel would be like “10,000 tons of TNT falling on a country the size of New Jersey (22,610 km2).”
Netanyahu has dropped 223,000+ tonnes of explosives on Gaza (365 km2) - the equivalent of ~22 nukes on 1.6% the size of New Jersey

Palantir have just bought themselves a Labour Lord with close links to the Labour government.
No other word to describe this other than corruption.
How can Watson remain a member of the House of Lords and keep the Labour whip?

"A country denied the ability to run its own economy is blamed for being bankrupt by the authority which exercises those macro-economic powers over it.

After stripping back pensions and welfare, and increasing the cost of heat and light to the point of it now being unaffordable, how exactly does UKGov expect ordinary families to find the money to stockpile food and water?

Did you know that the populace of Scotland were so desperate for, and in favour of, "Union" that England had to militarily occupy the entire country, just to contain the enthusiasm and excitement of the locals, such was their fervour for the situation?

The Basic Tax Code currently 1257L hasn’t been increased since Apr 2021.
Since then, the cost of living has risen by 27:6%%.
There’s no intention to increase the Tax Code until at least Apr 2031.
Please remind me why we are better together?
