Over 35 years, we have dug ourselves into a pit. If we want a functional housing market, we need a strategy that ends reliance on side hustlers to meet complex housing needs and treats homes as places to live, not investment assets to replace a pension theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

if you don't own a car, you should be allowed to use a parking-space-sized patch of street near your house for your own purposes - like a picnic bench, washing line, raised bed/planter, etc

Stop giving morons airtime!

Israel is clearly taking the piss, certain it can get away with anything. They could gun down David Attenborough, say it was because Hamas had a tunnel in his arse and no European leader would complain.

Seeing some politicians competing for just how brutal they can be to vulnerable minorities - I can’t help comparing that to 16th and 17th witch trials. It’s so depressing.

Silly I know but one likes to imagine her majesty up in heaven smiling approvingly as patriots paint a mini roundabout at 1am. Perhaps Paddington is there too passing her a marmalade sandwich, his paw lingering on her soft feminine hand for a moment too long.. ❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

3. ⁠this is not the moment for an incredibly expensive increase in state surveillance infrastructure to be run for profit by private tech firms just before Labour ushers in an (even more) authoritarian right wing government. FIX THE GODDAMN COST OF LIVING INSTEAD YOU FREAKS.

It's perfectly acceptable not to have an opinion. You don't need to pick a side. Not every issue requires you to get involved.

Hmm, this EES stuff all looks a bit complex. Think I’m going to need someone to write it on the side of a big red fucking bus so I can understand the nuance! travel-europe.europa.eu/en/ees

No one in power respects my grief. And no one is coming to console me: Members of the Jewish community have been grieving for three days now over the killing of two innocent people in last week’s attack on a Manchester synagogue. Politicians and the media keep telling us how

They killed this one

Might read a book. 📕 Only joking , going to look at my phone while a shit film plays in the background that I’ve seen at least 3 times and eat sugar until the anxiety is so overwhelming I have to go to bed. 😉

It's the anniversary of the greatest diary entry in history. Michael Palin, November 13th 1977.
