Yep, reading facts gets in the way of good old fashioned jingoism!
I first saw these advertised when I was at primary school in the late 80s early 90s I think- the branded ones were called “Scatch” i believe.
It was my son’s tenth birthday yesterday and he came back from school saying that he had got the best birthday present ever- a new friend! Made my heart smile, especially as we moved areas a couple of years ago and he found it really tough moving school at first as he was so shy. He has a good group of mates though now and I am really proud of him for noticing that the new boy was by himself, and going over to talk to him.
Neither my wife nor my children would be here without the NHS as my wife would have died in labour with our first child. The NHS is one of the greatest things we have ever built, and it needs both a lot more investment as well as being run by qualified medical personnel and not used by every government as a political football.
I’m loving it too- I miss a lot of subreddits and the sheer volume of content from the other site, but it feels quite special here at the moment. Also I am loving how quickly Lemmy and all of the supporting apps are developing! I am using Mlem and am very impressed. I want to like wefwef and agree that it is very similar to Apollo, but I just can’t cope with web apps.
This might be the greatest Simpsons thing ever- I can’t stop watching them! Sugar doo doo doo doo doo doo
At this stage, most people would trust that lettuce that outlived Truss more than they would trust the UK government!
Anyone still happy with the Tories currently probably falls into one of three categories from what I have seen:
- rich enough to not be affected by the crazy cost of living
- somebody who sees a politician or political party like their favourite football team and will blindly support them no matter what.
- people living on a different planet
It wasn’t funny- it was absolutely hilarious! It was the only thing we could laugh about after her horror show tenure in No. 10
Why do girls wear makeup and perfume? Because they’re ugly and they smell! My uncle told me this when I was a little boy, and it still tickles me now as a middle aged man who should know better.
Today has been quite a day for comeuppance- first Trump, then Nadine Dorries and now Bozo himself. Now for Rees-Mogg to stub his toe and balance will have been restored to the universe.
The only reason I stuck with Reddit was because of Apollo. I’ve just requested my data, hopefully I can get to grips with Lemmy!
