Wouldn't be the first time the Tories pull a terrible idea out of their arse to appeal to their thick+old base and nobody in the room asks "but what about Northern Ireland?"

Tories trying to grab Reform voters by introducing National Service when even Farage thinks it's a stupid idea

Tories having to ensure the public they won't jail 18 year olds for draft dodging on panicked appearances on the Sunday shows is going to do wonders for getting the young vote on their side

@BackFromTheDud it's nonsense, they know nobody under 60 is going to vote for them anyway and its might get a few votes from the GB News watching lobsters

@HighlandLawyer @BackFromTheDud honestly they should have done the same with EU citizenship

If the current British government were deep cover Russian chaos agents, or just plain corrupt and incompetent, would there be any real difference?

Farewell to Michael Gove, a man who looked like his own Spitting Image puppet.

His services to Columbian agricultural imports should also be noted.

I think the reason everyone hates Zaslav - apart from his destructive tendencies towards some of the most beloved media properties - is that so many people have, at one time, worked for a Zaslav.

Sweden is a beautiful country with a great reputation abroad apart from two factors:

  1. Murder villages where they will sew tourists into a bear carcass and set them alight at Midsummer

  2. MySQL

Controversial idea: ban the word "MVP" from Product Manager discourse.

While we are at it, any PM who uses the word "scrappy" should be banished to the salt mines.

MVP (original sense): the simplest thing that could possibly work

MVP (reality): something that takes just as long as a full feature, with all the usual scope creep, but we'll skimp on testing, proper design and code quality to shovel it out the door.

@danjac@masto.ai avatar

"Scrappy": an MVP, but I'll change my mind every other day like I'm some auteur movie director rather than someone who can't be bothered doing research
