That’ll be the UK in a couple of years.

Months

Weeks?

Stock up on meths.

Well, exactly - who wants to deal with this shit sober?

i for one am looking forward to many more romantic candlelit country suppers.

Lol’d then remembered walking down Dalston Junction high street 2 nights ago and felt sad.

Anyone who uses the term white privilege should be reported to Prevent as potential terrorist extremists, sez Tory MP. Can't imagine that going down too well with his constituents in Stoke-on-Tre- oh, never mind...

I hate white people...

this cunt and all his defenders will be moaning about 'cancel culture' from the pages of pretty much every news outlet available without a whiff of self awareness when he gets called out for his fascist fuckery.

WTF

Boris Johnson has infuriated the home secretary by overruling attempts to make public sexual harassment a crime. This has prompted concern at the Home Office that the prime minister views the issue as mere “wolf whistling”, rather than the aggressive targeting of women and girls going about their daily lives.

Johnson clearly saw this as a power move from Patel: Johnson has enough 'previous' to be the first person convicted under Patel's proposed legislation.

Perhaps they could share a cell?

Back to the office plebs

Broadband probably wasn't up to the task of WFH in the 1940s.
Can't be sure though, I wasn't there

Neither was Iain Cuntan Smith.

Ah, the old Tory imaginary WWII situation fetish again…

For a self-branded ‘quiet man’, IDS isn’t half a noisy, perpetual gobshite.

Looks like a third moped related bike theft in Richmond Park:

Pitched battles at Wembley, old bill v Hungarians.

[...] baton-wielding police have waded in to maintain order as visiting fans try to make their way to seats that aren’t theirs that have a better view of the pitch. A cynic might argue the fans in question got the idea from watching the final of Euro 2020.

On top of everything else wrong with IDS, huge numbers of Whitehall staff did work remotely from Wales etc so they didn’t get bombs dropped on them
