It's funny that the far right pretend to like Poland, when visceral hatred towards Polish people was a national sport for 20 years and led to Brexit.

Said this about Russell Brand earlier this year, and feel even more strongly about it now about the David Walliams allegations: there should be a staggered age of consent.
Someone in their thirties has no business having sex with a teenager, even if they're 'legal'!
Been hoping for something like this for a while. Very cool

This hasn't even been fully felt yet.
It's just going to be permanent multi-crisis from here on
*slaps planet*
This bad boy can fit so many bubbling potential crises in it
Huge drop in UK cereal harvest compared to 1984 - the first year of records
We have been able to make up shortfalls with imports, but as harvests are hit worldwide, countries will hang on to what they have

The scandal isn't that BCG does questionable corporate modelling abroad.
The scandal is that half a million civil servants in Whitehall are apparently incapable of formulating a national economic strategy without paying a US consultancy firm to think for them.
🚨NEW: Andy Burnham's government has hired Boston Consulting Group (BCG) to advise on his upcoming 10-year strategic plan for the UK
BCG were involved in a secret multimillion-dollar project which evaluated scenarios for removing Palestinians out the Gaza Strip and redeveloping it into a commercial tourist "Riviera"
Had The End of Everything on my reading pile for a while.
Obviously can't read it now as people will think I'm just doing it because it won the Booker Prize.
Ah well.

This all sounds good though
Andy Burnham will soon strike a major new food and drink deal with Brussels that means the Great British breakfast will never be quite the same again.
To meet the terms of the Prime Minister’s new deal, British law will have to be changed to match European rules on food and plants, with farmers and producers in some cases having to alter their methods, which could push up prices ⤵️

I think a lot about how so much modern franchise media comes from people who are already fans of that media, leading to it becoming insular and inward-looking, rather than curious about anything beyond its already established boundaries.
Hayao Miyazaki on modern anime, via Roland Kelts the author of 'Japanamerica'
"Hayao Miyazaki said to me at one point: 'The problem with young anime artists today is that the only thing they study is anime. When we were young, we studied French literature, we studied impressionism, we read Dostoevsky. We swallowed everything. And then we went and created original anime. But if you grow up and all you watch is anime, you're just regurgitating spinning wheels.'"
He also spoke about his work on the upcoming documentary 'Tezuka! God of Manga'

I fully support harm reduction measures for raw milk drinkers, such as removing their phones so they can't tweet stupid shit.
Scotland is run by muppets.
I buy a lot of milk fresh from a local farm shop. It tastes amazing. But in Scotland, we aren't allowed to sell raw milk, even from a farm shop.
For over 40 years now, it has been prohibited in Scotland because of "health concerns" for the general public.
On the other hand however, we do have a tax payer funded shooting gallery in Glasgow where you can take you Class As in a safe environment.
Because drinking milk is dangerous but taking heroin is assisted by the govt.
Can't wait to hear the "I believe in green values but will join them after indy" SNP lot justify this one.
NEW: John Swinney has said the SNP are in favour of new oil and gas exploration in a major intervention after months of uncertainty over the party’s stance
The First Minister told Holyrood that the Scottish Government opposed Labour’s ban on new oil and gas licences
