Always ask yourself, what would Lord Diplock think?
A mate sends me his Italia 90 world cup coins collection. Featuring both England and Scotland (impossible to imagine now). Notice the two mistakes they make even in selecting 15 England players. /3
Thomas is mistaken in eliding separate issues We should separate (at least) 1 Scientific facts (which are, indeed, immutable) 2 The meaning of words (which are not) 3 What the rules governing all of us ought to be (ie justice) 4 How we should personally behave towards others (ie morality) /1
You might be too hot, but spare a thought for the ones forced to wear fur coats. My aged terrier is really struggling.
Question. Who has Burnham got to explain the options to him on the economy? Are they good? Burnham can be personally useless, if he has good advisors and he acts on what they tell him.
UK GDP per capita is still belowpre-pandemic levels. Eventually, a PM will think "There are only hard choices here. None are going to be popular. The easiest is rejoining the EU (and tax reform, and planning reform as nice extras.)" Everything should be about making that blue line go upwards. /1
Numbers pre-Covid. We had three different models during this period. We should have stuck with the third, and definitely not returned to the first.
CountBinface is like the slave in the chariot behind the victorious Roman general whispering "memento mori." A (genuinely) important constitutional role.
Things are awful now. But, my God, the courage of someone as brilliant as Barnes facing up to these knuckle draggers in the 80s. They deserve the contempt he showed then.
Aaron Barr would have probably laughed along. The others? Not so much.
Those arent running socks. Every time you see these "Burnham running from his house" pictures he is wearing no show invisible trainer socks. Nobody serious runs in them Andy. They fall into the shoe if you go any distance and they're so thin you'll put a hole in them in a week. /ends
This is so offensive. It has so little relationship to Christ or anything he said. I can hardly express how much I hate it.
This Musk chap seems like a complete wrong'un. We're all best out of it.
It is a view I suppose. The problem with the McSweeney "strategy" is that it seemed to involve doing no governing. Trump has made things hard. But the best course would be to actually do what Labour said they were going to do: go for growth. /1
1812 would have been over in weeks if the Brits hadn't had something more pressing on of course.
And on unmanageable volume, here is one of my favourite pictures, Williston with his notes for his US contract treatise. Done in the same way now, he'd have to have 4-5x as much.
This is grimly offensive, but also sad Barnett for me lives a kind of double life. He is a libertarian, who defend gun ownership. His writing on the US constitution is of the same character. But /1
Film you've watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Star Trek, Star Wars, LOTR, Marvel, Disney, or Ghibli.
Weirdly, I ordered two bottles from ASDA 20 minutes ago. have never tried, so look forward. Had one of these yesterday. Absolutely first rate.
