I was out for a spin with Bernie heading to Box Hill, through South London this morning. He mentioned that there had been a huge drugs find this week behind Mitcham Library. 250kg of Cocaine, room full of guns, a crime syndicate busted.

I was astounded, and replied I didn't know Mitcham had a library.

When's our man charliefuckinga being sentenced? Can you place a bet at the bookies what the sentence will be?

Bizarre. Led me to this in the comments, probably a repost:

Sept 18.

For anyone still in any doubt that Assange is a total creep: "Capitalism+atheism+feminism = sterility = migration. EU birthrate = 1.6. Replacement = 2.1. Merkel, May, Macron, Gentiloni all childless."

I think the reason he lied to those women about using a condon was because he wanted there to be more white babies.

In that pic of the Korea nuke you can see there is a nut that's been left off. Shoddy bomb making.

More than one loose nut in that room

An astute observation, no less.

/CSB I know somebody who used to have one. Lovely snake that would curl up to him.

Rather not find one in my toilet though...if I did I'd be tempted to keep it I have to admit.

^ Bleak indeed :(

Keyboard warriors being massive arses on the internet, to the extent people stay off it/get massive stress just trying to do their job for society, wow, such win.

/CSB I already find some comments rather unpleasant as an EU national in BrexShit, I can't imagine how stressful it is if people to decide to also add threats to your person on top of the implicit "you are worth less than me" attitude.

What the hell is wrong with people, etc. etc.

her point about how it used to require effort to send abuse, something she's been putting up with for long before twitter came along, is an interesting observation.

Old but relevant:

your old but relevant.

Victoria Coren is old[er] but relevant to my interests.

you're on your own there mate.

bet I'm not. Hang on.

Any links on this? Just, Mitcham Library is a little close to home...

I also think people online are just more direct (which is sometimes good, tell us what you really think etc etc) but quite often it goes from directness straight to just pure abuse.

And it's indeed very easy to be abusive online and say things that get you disciplined or fired in a work environment.
