Afternoon nutters 👋🥰
Back from an extended news/SM break involving horses, waving placards and lots of generally being outside or playing violin with the ladies.
Hope you're all hanging in there. Don't forget your daily cake rations 🍰
Dunno which Churchill he's talking about. How is this guy still considered a historian??
David Starkey: "When human rights were invented by Churchill, they were intended to protect the individual against the state. The left has redesigned them to protect minorities against the majority."
Look at these giggling old men. This is what they're saying to the interviewer (see video link, sorry it's Xitter) about their actions in 1948.
Left:
"I didn't talk to anyone about it."
"What about your wife? I assume you lived with her for many years. You never talked to her about it?"
"I never told her. What would I tell her - that I'm a murderer?"
Right:
"And some guys took flamethrowers and ran after people and incinerated them."
Oh dear. I really don't need another coat but I might have to make an exception 😄
Edit: Too late!
Double edit: I now have a dress to go with the coat. Send help before I bankrupt myself. #Shopping
When the Reform Party lose Julia Heartless Bastard.
from Talk TV last night
JHB: "You would leave asylum seekers to drown in the channel?"
Ben Habib: "Absolutely"
JHB: "That is not a policy that a civilised country should endorse"
BH: "Why is that uncivilised?"
JHB: "Because we don't leave people to drown.. I don't want these people here, but I wouldn't leave them to drown.. I don't think anyone in the border force or Royal Navy that would do that"
Un-fucking-believable. Well, not really. No one expects any better from the BBC these days.
From last night's Newsnight:
Husam Zomlot, Head of the Palestinian Mission to the UK, lost 6 family members - including two small children - amongst the almost 700 killed in Israeli strikes into Gaza.
Kirsty Wark: "But you cannot condone the bombing in Israel, can you?"
We're back to both sides-ism. If, indeed, we ever left it.
GPLB: "Academics challenge Starmer to accept Israel's seige of Gaza is against international law
The signatories, including experts in international law, international humanitarian law, international criminal law and related disciplines say that comments by Starmer, Emily Thornberry and David Lammy have provided tacit approval of the war crime of collective punishment."
Edit: He's trying to row it back now. Cunt.
This episode of Everyday Misogyny is brought to you by academia.
Needless to say there's nothing remotely surprising or decent about his "proposal". 🤬
"How do you expect me to concentrate on what a respected academic is saying when she's got her hair down?"
"Impossible to tell whether she's Irish or Chinese because of course it's impossible that she could be both."
Every last word of this article is revolting.
He's got everything he needs for the first day in his new job! An empty bookcase, a massive flag and a big case full of clean pants for the next time he shits himself in public 😂
Just seen someone on the dark side saying they're sitting down with their four and six year old children to watch the "nice, wholesome children's film" ... Watership Down 😱 😬
That's their Sunday ruined. I only ever saw it once and this is literally the only thing I remember about it.
So anyway, I've got a dodgy SSD that I don't want to scrap because it's 2Tb of storage but it doesn't copy files properly, even after reformatting, so I'm guessing there's a fault with the FAT?
Can this be fixed and am I guessing correctly (heavy emphasis on guessing)?
Thanks in advance awesome nerds!
Edit: Situation resolved - WPB. Thanks for all the replies, guys 🥰 #tech
Are there any harder choices than whether or not the people you're supposed to serve live or die?
Wes Streeting this morning: "I think we’ve got to see the road back to fair pay as a journey, not an event. The public finances are a complete mess. There are, as a result, much harder choices to be made." (GPLB)
