We have a little clay pot for such cursed objects which we keep at the back of our boiler cupboard. 😀
The evil spirits get to stay in our walls & we dont have to think about them much!
We sacrifice a plumber each year after the boiler service. It keeps the spirits cosy and fed until next autumn 🍂

He just bombed the heck out of a little girls school for no discernible reason.
How can anyone support this man?

If war crimes are committed from those bases... which seems likely given priority evidence, then yeah.

The creepiest part is that nobody turns round at the front. Like its some homeless guy begging for change they can ignore until it passes.

Fucking hell.

I'm daughter of a carpet fitter and grew up in what would be described as rural poverty. He went to a cathedral based private school then Oxford...

The irony klaxon was very loud in my head.

As one KS donor said: "you went to university, you're elite and your opinion doesn't matter of they want to win the next election". They are just stuck in 2016-2019 forever...

I think that would be left to the individual? It would be a matter of opinion how you feel about or use that time.
Frankly, it is such a common illness (12% of all deaths) that most of us will have family who have suffered with it. Genetical susceptibility is not a diagnosis, just information.

Also it leave people vulnerable to charlatans. My gran spent sooooo much on gadgets and pills to help her vitamin deficiencies or energy levels or other vague tv diagnosis. It was early dementia.

Knowledge is power.

A family member is currently going through early memory loss and it is very, very disturbing for him. He has stopped driving, doing walks etc.

If you do not explain and offer diagnosis to those seeking it, it does not make the symptoms go away. They still know something is up

Time to sort out plans for your money, estate, passwords, future choices etc. Time to have those conversations and write thise memories down.
Live and be yourself in your body whilst you have the chance.

Also, the long term view (as for Blair) will be very very negative. I mean, it is an illogical and illegal war...

Crazy. I read it as sincere the first time, classic!

She can't even bring herself to say Muslims. Just whistling about blocs of voters.

A pathetic mix of cowardice and bigotry.

02.03.2026 12:22 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0

Interesting that she doesn't say 'muslim' just blocs of voters.

For someone who is keen to say-it-like-it-is.

A provocative coward!

No, no. We must all suffer because of the Tories, and get very angry at the greedy old / young / children / migrant people who are bankrupting the country!!! 🫠

Yes and scrapping wfp totally plugged that deficit! Damn. Should have stuck to their guns!

Ok. Thanks. I'm sure cracking down on WFP would have turned it all around. :)

Agree. It shouldn't be. But that wasn't the reason they announced it at the start of Gov tenure. There would have been much better ways to make the welfare system fairer between the generations.

It was to look tough on scroungers, crackdown on handouts and turn us against each other.

But that wouldn't have been a tough crackdown on scroungers... it was never about the money.

I agree, and there are many other finacial injustices between our generations. However, the Winter Fuel Payment like child SEND spending or pip payments, is hardly pushing the country into bankruptcy.
The policy itself was purposefully used to set the tone of the Gov, & set us against each other.
