Yeah don’t be surprised if you find an old family member under all of that after Christmas.

Nice to meet you, Gregório Felipe. 👍

Then it’s the equivalent of 2 Texan cups (or 2 and 4/13ths Federal cups).

Yeah. I had selected those quotes because they highlight what a shit situation we’re in. I get the logic; it’s just depressing that the logic is sound.

However, it remains to be seen how Labour will react to Just Stop Oil. I think they’ll be less blunt but will pretty much treat them the same way. Hopefully I’m wrong.

Mr Vince, a major Labour donor, said further action was “pointless” because the government had shown it would drill for oil “come what may”.

God that’s depressing.

Further disruption, he added, would help “feed the Tories’ culture-war narrative”.

Fair point but still depressing.

Instead, he said, he would divert funding to the anti-Conservative vote.

So no longer specific to halting oil production at all then. Sigh.

That’s not to say there aren’t loads of Tories. Just that they almost all tactically voted for Labour to get the SNP out.

If only 80s or even 90s Britain could see Scottish politics now. They would wonder wtf is going on, with Tory/Labour tactical voting and coalitions.

I want to play Arkanoid using it.

There’s something about his world-building that’s just brilliant. Shame it takes me 6 months to read each one!

It may have changed recently, but my understanding of it is that you are expected to aim to join the Euro but there is no set timescale.

The ECB summary seems to indicate that they would rather a country is in a stable, fit condition before adopting the Euro. (We probably have Greece circa 2008 to thank for that.)

There are a few countries already in the EU who have no plans to adopt the Euro. I’m sure we could do the same.

It’s a disgrace that 28% would still vote Tory after everything they’ve done.

I have found my people.

Good luck getting the ignorant masses to mask up these days.

‘They’ being whoever doctored the image, and not the Labour MP.

It does (once again) raise a valid point about verification of images. Some kind of checksum or (god help us) blockchain based confirmation that an image hasn’t been altered.

Obviously any resizing of an image would screw this up, but there are already lots of apps that can find duplicates despite different resolutions.

Whenever anyone in our family say “too long”, my wife will (ok, or sometimes I will) go into a full “Allo Allo” French accent, saying “Ahhhh, Toulon??? Eet eez Toulon, mon ami!”, etc.

Even though the joke has lived well past its shelf life, we can’t resist doing it even though we cringe at the same time.

I suppose you could say that the joke has gone on…

…long enough.
