I tried the Greggs chicken roll so you don't have to. Bought it hot. Opened the bag. Split it in half. Saw the white matter. Smell hit me. Chucked the whole thing away. It was rancid. You're welcome.

Quite funny seeing Americans telling us on here how we are living under Sharia Law in The Uk whilst we are on our four day bank holiday weekend to both commemorate the crucifixion of Jesus and to celebrate his resurrection.

seeing a lot of "higher gas prices won't affect me because I don't drive very much" and unfortunately it is my sad duty to inform you that your food does not teleport to the grocery store

@KayWhyEzzz @Oleclearcut85 @kaizen000000000 Because the Bible doesn’t promise salvation through works; it promises salvation through GRACE. It’s not about how many good or bad deeds you commit; it’s all about whether you acknowledge Jesus as your saviour and beg his mercy. It’s almost as if it’s designed to control people.

The level of personal hostility directed at Keir Starmer over the last week deserves scrutiny in its own right. Not because he should be immune from criticism, but because the tone and intensity of the attacks tell us something unhealthy about the state of democratic politics. 1. Starmer is a conventional political figure. Cautious, legalistic, incremental. He frustrates people precisely because he is managerial rather than messianic. Yet the reaction to him often goes far beyond disagreement, tipping into visceral hatred more commonly reserved for authoritarians or demagogues. 2. Much of this hostility is disconnected from concrete policy. It is not about specific votes, proposals or outcomes, but about projection. A belief that Starmer embodies betrayal, bad faith or hidden malice. That kind of politics runs on suspicion rather than evidence. 3. This matters because democracy depends on the assumption of good faith among opponents. You can think a leader is wrong, timid, or misguided without believing they are fundamentally illegitimate. Once politics becomes moralised to the point of demonisation, compromise is reframed as treachery and pluralism as weakness. 4. The pattern is familiar. In fragmented, polarised systems, anger concentrates not on extremists, whose intentions are clear, but on moderates, who disappoint maximalists on all sides. The centre becomes the lightning rod precisely because it resists totalising narratives. 5. There is also a media and online dynamic at work. Incentives reward outrage, not proportionality. Algorithms favour contempt over analysis. Over time, this creates a political culture in which relentless personal attack feels normal, even virtuous, rather than disgusting. 6. None of this is a defence of Starmer’s decisions, instincts or record. Those should be argued over robustly as you do in a democracy. The problem is the substitution of critique with hostility and the quiet erosion of democratic norms that follows when political opponents are treated as enemies rather than rivals. 7. A democracy cannot function if every election is framed as an existential struggle against internal evil. At some point, the target may change, but the damage to trust, restraint and culture remains.

@vitt2tsnoc @Vilfrench Not trying to invite comparisons, but I haven’t used Travelodge since I was treated like absolute scum in their Deansgate Manchester hotel back in 2010… I’m not easily angered and I was APOPLECTIC.

A woman is sexually assaulted after hotel staff hand her room key to a rapist and the CEO apology comes over three years later. The apology isn’t even the issue. The issue is it took a conviction, national outrage, MPs getting involved, and years before it happened. #Travelodge
