Of all the mean-minded, vindictive, shittiest things Starmer has done, confiscating these humanitarian supplies for the Chagossians on their own islands is about the worst. May he rot in hell.

Neanderthal genome is largely known. If it becomes possible to reconstruct a live Neanderthal person, what, in your opinion, would be the pros and cons? I’m genuinely interested in canvassing opinions for and against.

@IsabelOakeshott @RogerHelmerMEP Whether or not it is "disgusting cruelty" depends on how its life ends. Humane slaughter and the revolting practice of halal are quite different things.

@RogerHelmerMEP Disgusting cruelty. Other delicious options are available

Nothing like a veal chop.

@ClarkeMicah @TBRowlands It probably did taste the same, but I agree with you: it did not feel like it. As with drinking champagne out of chipped mug.

Au contraire , .@tbrowlands . What gentleman would eat his relish out of a plastic container? I confess to having tried it in this form but finding it did not taste the same.

I really cannot see why shops should not be allowed tasers and handcuffs to deal with thieves. Immobilise them, then chain them to some bollard outside, and wait for the police to arrive. Even if that takes a day or so, given how busy the police are with arresting people who put stuff on social media.

AR 15’s would be more effective.

@mattwridley It was never quite the same when they went from the heavy, well made pots to the flimsy plastic ones.

Disaster!

@OnDisasters "he"? Looks like a woman to me.

@PureBloodKiwi People hiding away from the sun, probably. Australians and New Zealanders are petrified of it. Low vitamin D.

I wonder what the cause is...

@lowlandsapien Is this how the Romans did it?

@drhingram Practising for the Darwin Award?

Does this guy know how to use stairs?

@CliveWismayer @KennyGr61411855 Back in the day, the term was "Rebel". But even then that was unsatisfactory, because at the beginning of the War of Independence. the majority of the population was, I rather think, loyal to Crown. Until Sumter started hanging them, their hands untied for his amusement.

Changing the subject a bit: why is there no adjective for a person from the United States? They say "American" of course, but that covers Canadians, Mexicans, Argentinians et al. Or "Yanks", which is not only slang, but is (or just was?) sometimes disambiguated from Yankee.

How is it that some Americans such as Ryan Reynolds, Ryan Gosling, John Candy (RIP), William Shatner, Pamela Anderson, Keanu Reeves, Michael J Fox, Sir Frederick Banting and many hundreds of others can be so wonderfully awesome, funny, warm and kind hearted and then there's Trump

@LloydLegalist You might never tire of this. But I think your twin would. Quite quickly.

If I had a twin that was around 5 minutes younger than me I would never tire of saying, "When I was your age" and then tell them what I did 5 minutes ago.

@SkyNews Iran had better watch out. Any more of this recklessness and Miss Cooper might well hand out a detention.

The UK's foreign secretary has condemned what she says is Iran's recklessness in blockading the Strait of Hormuz. Yvette Cooper is chairing a meeting of nations who are seeking to re-open the shipping lane. Iran war latest: trib.al/hd4jVg9 📺 Sky 501 and YouTube

🚨BBC Newsnight Fiery Debate: Labour MP Rachel Blake Lectures on “Tolerance” When Called Out On Illegal Immigration On BBC Newsnight, Jacob Rees-Mogg stated plainly: “I want zero illegal migrants.” Labour MP Rachel Blake immediately shot back: “You do not speak for the British people.” Rees-Mogg fired back that polling shows the public agrees with him on stopping the boats. Blake then launched into a lecture about how Britain is a “decent, compassionate and tolerant country that thrives on those values.” Rees-Mogg warned that Labour’s approach would mean hundreds of thousands more people coming in. When pressed, Blake claimed they’d simply “have a new agreement” but when Rees-Mogg demanded she give a specific figure for how many Labour would allow or control, she refused to provide one. Classic Labour: lots of virtuous slogans about tolerance from Rachel Blake, zero straight answers on illegal migration, and a clear refusal to level with the British public.
