The case for synthetic fleece was this: animal-free, cheap to produce, warm, machine washable. All true. Every single one of those points. And every one of them misses the actual problem. Synthetic fleece is plastic. Specifically, it is polyester: PET plastic, derived from

@HywelDdaHB is perpetrating a great evil upon the people of Pembrokeshire in the further removal of accessible essential hospital services. They are rewriting history and gaslighting us, but their proposals will cost lives. We need to be cut free from this coercive board.

People walk away from wrecks saying “thank God I was in a Volvo”. No one walks away from a car saying “thank God I was in a Skoda - we almost left granny behind!”

When you switch off my wife’s car, it gives you the message “Goodbye, [name], got everything? Mobile phone? Everyone out of the car?” Can modern cars get any more insufferably fucking irritating? A beep if you’ve left the lights on is helpful. This is just insulting.

"I've always fancied a month in China but always been put off by the visa application form and fee," said no fucker, ever. What's that spineless devious cunt given away in return for this bag of broken biscuits? Scotland with a bit of luck.

California's Central Valley produces 80% of the world's almonds. Each almond requires 3.2 gallons of actual irrigation water to grow. Not rainfall. Actual tap water pumped from aquifers. One gallon of almond milk requires 162 gallons of irrigation water. Compare that to dairy

“A hollowed-out shell run by lawyers”, the party I grew up with and used to be 100% loyal to, despite their faults. If Labour ever returned to their traditional values, I might vote for them again. On present showing, that’s never. Now, I despise them.
The UK Labour Party my forensic take, no varnish, no mercy Let me be crystal clear from the outset, the modern Labour Party is not a workers’ party. It’s a managerial wing of the blob wearing a red rosette as a game. I grew up being told Labour was for people like us, grafters,
