Patriotism is about loving your own country. Nationalism is about hating all the others. Don’t confuse the two.

I suppose the only real take away that anyone can have from this is that America has, once again, elected someone as their leader who is British slang for a fart. #Trump2024

That feeling you get when your trump becomes a follow-through.

If you see another article about Labour taking away winter fuel payments, just remember: The Tories never gave pensioners money to help with their energy bills. The Tories gave money to the energy companies to help with their profits. The pensioners were only ever the middlemen.

Gassy by Fanlight.

After spending 14 years making cuts to the police, the courts, legal aid, prisons and the probation service, Tory MPs are now queuing up to point out how easy it would be to fix it all.

It’s 1970 and ELTON JOHN takes out a crumpled piece of paper and plays TINY DANCER for the first time in front of his lyricist BERNIE TAUPIN, along with Taupin’s wife MAXINE, who he wrote the song for.

So, tickets for the #Oasis concerts started at £75 for seated or £150 for standing. Or, to put it another way: It’s £75 to sit down at an Oasis concert but £150 if you want to bring your own chair.

And so the first problem starts, all by itself. People stop asking you and the isolation that at first wasn't true becomes your only truth. 4/4

Or when you are invited out you tell them how terribly sorry you are but you're already booked up, when you are actually just really busy holding it together in your safe box? 3/4

How many of you have had a night out planned, or arranged coffee with friends and suddenly "these 4 walls" seem the only safe haven because it's the only place you don't have to pretend you are ok, so you cancel? 2/4
