Older readers will remember & younger readers should know that in 1975 under Labour, the top rate of income tax was 83% & the top rate of tax on investment income was 98%. Led to Mrs T. Spectre of that led Blair & Brown to promise no rises in personal tax. Ditto Starmer & Reeves.

Genderist halfwits and nincompoops in Ireland (think of a European version of Canada) are attempting to destroy this Irish woman for the cardinal sin of expressing support for the UK Supreme Court ruling. She deserves support. I have given her mine.

I too am with Molly who, being from Ireland, amusingly describes herself as a "Turf". The overexcited Rita chap seems none too bright.

Not quite the London Pride I had expected, but so it goes. Times change.

I have said it many times but will say it again. People have to sue. Take councils, schools, employers to court, win & create favourable issue by issue rulings. With a bit of luck, a genderist will appeal & lose in the Court of Appeal. Then this toilets nonsense will be over.

RT @underhandrea: "Yes, perfectly comfortable thanks Gary."

I was planning to adopt Trump's signoff, "Thank you for your attention to this matter!" but then realised I would be joining a crowd. He is aiming for a Churchillian "Action this day" vibe but I could be wrong. Thank you for your attention to this matter!.

Not shown on TV but many will have wondered. Later on in a stage, the riders have to go "solo", key thing being to read carefully the direction of the wind. Fail to do so & other riders will not thank you. Peeing whilst freewheeling is something everyone should do at least once.

The music is melancholic, filled me with trepidation and made me feel sad. Must have been a solid reason for the choice. May just be me.

I have reached final stage of the drafting of a long & tricky document. All that remains is the crossing of the "i"s & the dotting of the "t"s & so, work pretty much over, I have opened a bottle (2016 Machard de Gramont "Aux Allots"), & am now watching the cricket. A lovely day.

She is indeed. SCOTUS will rule 6 or 7 in favour of women & 3 or 2 in favour of allowing lads to cheat as "women". Each of those whose opinion will be that blokes be allowed to play as cod women will be actual women (Sotomayor, Brown &/or Kagan). That is my deep, legal analysis.

Is it only me or is anyone else befuddled by the constant references to "hottest day of the year", as we head inexorably towards midsummer?.I would expect the "hottest day of the year" always to occur in July or August, or have I missed something?.Someone is selling me something.

RT @Colleenfrances: Terrific Miss Tootsie.

I have never had a good look at Jamie Smith behind the stumps before today. Huge for a keeper at 6ft 2, his glovework is very tidy and, as a batsman, he scores lots of runs. Aged 24, he may have the job for a very long time.
