I was at my boss's funeral yesterday.
I went up to the casket and whispered to him:
“Who’s thinking outside of the box now, James?”

I had Irish quite literally beaten into me for 10 years or so. The only bit I remember is how to ask to go to the toilet. Because if you didn't ask in Irish you could pee in your pants for all they cared.
I hate this government and everyone who voted for them! There is no demand for this except from a minority right full of hatred, this will affect thousands of families around the country including mine... heartbroken #speirgorm #howirelandworks

So refreshing to hear from someone who is NOT a politician who worked for the public prosecutions department, And is NOT trying to use his title as a political point scoring opportunity;
Nazir Afzal was formerly Chief Crown Prosecutor for North West England.
88% of rapists charged were white.

3 of these 4 Home Alone 2 actors/actresses have passed away in 2026. I hate that we lost the three that we have.
But damn, if we can complete the set before January 1st, that would be something. We have four months to make it happen.

It's insane! The amount of conspiracy loons and Trump cult members. It seems to be impossible to have any normal discussion.

Over the last 20 yrs, welfare spending as a % of GDP has fluctuated between 10 and 12%, and is currently at 10.6%.
There is nothing about the current level of spending that highlights that there is a 'crisis' or that urgent action is needed.
Plus benefits are basically recirculated in the economy.

You mean the Israelis, of course.
They have between 90-400 nuclear warheads with technology stolen from the U.S.
Iran has ZERO nuclear weapons.
Israel has threatened to blow up the entire world if they are threatened.

Maybe the US should assist Iran in developing a nuclear deterrent. We need some way of containing the Israeli monster we created.

My therapist suggested that I get an emotional support animal.
I got a chicken.
It came in a bucket with a side of mashed potatoes and a large sweet tea.
I feel better already.

They are too busy thinking about whether they should copy Badenoch’s latest insane proposal.
The continued political silence over the spread of these anti-migrant, anti-refugee pogroms in the UK is a disgrace.
This one has been going on for three nights in a row now and the Home Secretary and Prime Minister haven't said a single word about it

My grandad told me he saw the Titanic - from the outset he warned all the people that the ship would sink, but nobody listened to him.
He knew he was right and didn't give up. He warned them again & again, until eventually they kicked him out of the cinema.

Just how dumbed down has everything become.
I mean, what sort of cretin would even consider this hitting the moon would be a danger to earth? Does it seriously need to be pointed out?

French forces held a fierce defensive perimeter around Dunkirk and lost 18,000 souls. 40,000 became POWs. Without their resolve we wouldn’t have our nation’s story.
It’s estimated 20-60k French resistance fighters died during the war.
