The UK's backing the potential air strikes and looking into how to help - though we're ruling out doing air strikes ourselves. We could and should help with the aid drops, the US is sending food and...
Surprisingly, there has been civil disobedience in Mosul that people survived doing. They've tried discouraging the destruction of shrines by sleeping in them and in one case protesting en masse at...
There's a sweary Charlie Brooker article about that, where he talks about the intense effort of all the parents in the playground to get their toddlers to understand they had to wait their turn for...
The (subconscious) idea seems to be that if a bad thing only happened because the victim did something - that they've somehow caused it and it's their fault - then I don't have to worry about the bad...
It relates because when people assumed she'd been assaulted, people were "claiming the girl was asking for it all by the way she was dressed".
Well that's the thing - it's not just creepers (or people we can easily ID as creepers). There's Kimmel doing it for a mainstream TV show and the studio audience guffawing and chanting "YES"/"NO"; "I...
George Galloway, darling of the radical left, shows his radical left-wing credentials by saying no Israeli is to be allowed in Bradford.
Not just "boycott goods and services" over Gaza, boycott...
He doesn't explain what happened to the pies in his story either. Did he chuck them in the bin? That's a huge waste of pie - what if someone else behind the kid wanted a pie?
I miss that as much as much as I miss the days before vaccines. Being an outcast because of the fictional media you like is balls, it's miles better to not have that. I don't know why there are nerds...
Ed Miliband makes a bid for Times and Telegraph readers and announces an end of 'tax and spend'
so if you were hoping for Keynesian stimulus policies, you're buggered. Except hang on:
This is one of those things that squats in a character's backstory and should probably be forgotten - except, well, we can't easily cover up where the Scorpion comes from since they keep coming back....
JAMESON: GUTS OR BALLS?
A Bugle Exclusive
A fact so terrifying that there are people who would rather believe in a grand Illuminati who deliberately make everything shit for alien overlords rather than "well, actually, autism is just some...
The plane was shot down:
Since it's going to turn out to be separatists with a Russian weapon, Putin has really got audacity to still be claiming Ukraine "bears responsibility" because
...
It;s three years old, it's not sourcing itself, and it's about something that quite obviously would not be like a political children's movement lionising a dictator (that you HAD to join). Why did...
How DARE Obama be cautious with initial statements while still making it clear the US is going to investigate what happened!
They're insinuating Russia shut down a Malaysian plane with Dutch passengers because of US sanctions?
And this is a smoking gun:
That means either they did shoot it down or they saw the plane going down & immediately went "let's claim WE did that!". If the latter, whoops
EDIT: BBC live...
The BBC's been talking to defence consultants and while only the separatists (mistaking it for a Ukranian jet) have a reason to fire, they haven't been seen with the firepower to do it. One of the...
Hrm. There's a lovely thought.
And now we know that a senior detective for the Lancashire Police was investigating Cyril Smith way back in 1970 and reported "this man looks guilty as sin and someone we could definitely prosecute,...
Uh oh, spaghettios!
Have parents turned on him that much? Generally when I hear parents talking about the teacher strike, it's a moan that the strike exists. "They get 12 weeks holiday a...
Phew! (Hopefully just missing a month now)
Hopefully that's just the start of it. Falcon turning into Cap is a great opportunity for the comic - now it has a Cap in it during a big Cap...
I caught up with Ms Marvel #5 and Kamala loses badly - so she comes back later for another go and owns it. Now that's what I love to see in superhero comics.
