Not really. This side of the pond, we have suella braverman, priti Patel and the current leader of the opposition kemi badenoch. All British maga types. First two Indian ethnicity, the other Nigerian. Badenoch only has British citizenship from her parents booking a private hospital here to give birth to her, then went straight back to Nigeria.

She is frequently spewing hard right rhetoric about immigrants, saying they need to earn their citizenship, with no self awareness whatsoever. She denied racism was a problem in the uk until she personally started getting hate. Yet she still wants the far right in power and is determined to carry on pushing the Tories to the far right. Then when her wet dream comes true and Farridge gets in, with his plan to deport even legally settled immigrants, she'll cry that the leopards weren't meant to ear HER face.

Now go look up how she even got British citizenship in the first place, and what she says about asylum seekers and immigrants. Hypocrite of the lowest order.

No, you're right. It is so emergency services prioritise cars with the sign.

Is it stealing if I buy a second hand book? I'm still getting to enjoy the work without paying the author (even if the original person paid). Multiple people can own a physical copy at different times (with the author only getting paid once).

Just like downloads. I don't feel bad about downloading stuff that's out of print. No one is making money from it now anyway, so what harm. If anything, digital copies help to stop these books being lost.

I've been in a similar situation. It seems it's the only type of person I seem to attract. They pursue me, only when I eventually reciprocate they freak out, and self-sabotage ensues. In my case, the only thing was to walk away, because they were dragging me down with them. Some people can get past the trust issues (I have my own issues that I've been working through), but others can't. So I don't actually have any advice, sorry.

That's the John Finnemore horsebox sketch!

This reminds me of French lessons at school, when they'd ask you to describe your best friend, and I'd have to start with "Je n'ai pas une meilleure amie."

No, they're going to privatise the NHS. Mandatory health insurance for all! Can't afford cancer treatment? Oh well, too bad for you. Brits love getting their faces eaten by leopards too.

Excuse me, it's not piracy if it's Nintendo.

My oldest nephew was born in 2003 and I was still having to manually remove red eye using Paintshop Pro 7 from my mum's digital photos of him when was about 6 or 7.

Dairy cows are slaughtered for meat once they're no longer productive enough anyway, aren't they? Either way they're going to die.

You didn't think they got to retire in a nice meadow, did you?
