I was recently added to a “rape apologists” list on Twitter, by someone who didn’t agree with me on here. I reported it. My report was rejected. Twitter thinks this is acceptable behaviour, so I’m going to start spending time on Threads instead. Good work, @elonmusk

Imagine being too scared to say that better trading/travel/science/education/opportunities with our own continent would be a good thing. But being proud to say you want to cut foreign staff in care homes and forcibly deport people to Rwanda. That’s today’s Tory party.

In the 1990s, a New York group calling itself the Barbie Liberation Organisation swapped the voice boxes inside Barbie dolls and GI Joes in shops, so that Barbie bellowed "Vengeance is mine!", while Joe chirped "Wanna go shopping? 😂

Don’t panic! Shareholders will be protected by raising water bills by 40%. Phew. (At least, that’s what the water companies want). The Lib Dems propose nationalisation as public benefit companies, seems sensible to me. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-6…
Lib Dems unveil plan to turn water firms into 'public benefit companies'

Lib Dems unveil plan to turn water firms into 'public benefit companies'

The party says it would force firms to put the environment before profits, as political pressure over bills and quality grows.

This is an incredible listen. I was aware of the basic facts of the Post Office Horizon scandal, but the detail here is jaw-dropping. And it’s still ongoing. bbc.co.uk/sounds/series/m000…

Beautiful 1960s photos from North Shields fish quay
Mark Rae (@MarkTRae) profile pictureMark Rae@MarkTRae27 Jun 2023
These slides were rescued from a junk shop in Newcastle. They depict North Shields in what I would imagine is the early 60’s. What a time to capture and what a thing to throw away. More to come as I dig in the crates. X

What does "hold your nerve" even mean when facing rising interest rates? It's financial market talk - if the stock price is dropping you "hold your nerve" until it rises again. To people having to pay more for their mortgage now it's meaningless.

The Tories have been selling "short term pain today for a strong economy tomorrow" for, erm, thirteen years.
