He’ll of a discography. Worked with some legendary acts, nirvana, pixies to name just two. RIP

Think it’s about 320 as Sinn Fein don’t take their seats. So about another 24 defections/resignations from the Tories needed before Sunak needs a deal with the DUP to get anything through although technically he could limp on until a GE unless everyone else clubs together, which ain’t going to...

Apparently she backed Truss for PM also. The more I read about her the less it makes sense unless she’s had a road to Damascus style conversion.

Natalie Elphicke? You’ve got to be kidding. Who next Gullis! Not sure WTF Starmer is thinking on this one. He should have stayed well clear. Hope she loses her seat at the GE.

Given that they currently occupy swathes of Moldova and Georgia the honest answer is at least one more. You won’t get that answer though. There’s also an argument that they occupy Chechnya, Belarus basically has a Russian Vichy government and occupies a sizeable Russian force there including the...

The US sent 31 Abram’s not 16.

I see Sunak is telling anyone who will listen that the results from last week prove that we’re heading for a hung parliament. Not sure if he’s a fool or he thinks everyone else is. I don’t think in his case the two are mutually exclusive. It’s a pretty ridiculous statement. Voting is always...

Probably lost on purpose. You know, playing the long game.

Okay. Firstly I didn’t compare our government and media to Ukraine. I just pointed out that we’re not exactly free of issues ourselves. Completely different, you’re adding your own context. You dismissed that and then rather poetically half an our later a story broke about press intimidation in...

But you’re using press freedom as a judgement on Ukraine and Ukraine alone as a reasoning as to why we shouldn’t be involved. The alternative is to let a country with one of the worst track records in the world on press freedom crack on. It was a shit argument from the outset. The kind you see...

They’d automatically dropped 80+ places on the only reliable measurement of press freedom. It wouldn’t just be press freedom though. It would also include freedom to internet access to outside sources. Free in Ukraine, suppressed in Russia. Unless you live near the border of a neighbouring...

Sunak’s green plan has just been found to be unlawful in the British courts. Green groups argued that it was just word salad and was signed off by the government with no evidence that the government had a plan to achieve it. He’s not having a good day.

Have it with oat milk. Easiest way to improve any coffee regardless of the price tag. Especially true with a latte.

You do know that listening to Ukrainian Journalists and paying attention to facts from an independent organisation such as Reporters Without Borders don’t have to be mutually exclusive. It is possible to look at the bigger picture and form a balanced view considering all the facts not just a...

Sorry sickboy was it too much information for you so you had no choice but to find it funny. Here’s some more for you. In the reporter’s without borders poll when Kuchma left power Ukraine was 132nd in their freedom index, they’re now 90th IIRC. Ironically if you look into the details of that...

And now I’m talking about the Ukrainian government. Keep up.

But a lot of what happened to press in Ukraine pre war was either a hangover from previous Russian friendly presidents, especially true under Kuchma who closed down many opposition favouring outlets and really ramped up surveillance and intimidation on “unfriendly” journalists. In the period...

He’s a piece of shit isn’t he.

It’s being reported that Boris Johnson, the PM who insisted that we had to introduce voter ID to stop voter fraud (that doesn’t exist on numbers big enough that you can’t count them on one hand) and is definitely not a tool to hamper voter turnout amongst a demographic that would probably vote...

The EU hasn’t insisted on anything. That’s just how it’s done anywhere in the world on shipments from somewhere else in the world with the exception of inside the EU. If something is shipped from Australia into the UK under the free trade agreement we have with them you still have to use the...
