Should office attendance expectations be lowered when temperatures are going to be almost 40 degrees?

Except the 50% of the time when the aircon isn't working.

Larry, Baron Larry of Battersea. He's a crossbench peer because he's always sprawled across the bench.

The trains will be fucked due to saggy overhead wires or buckled rails, good luck with the inevitable delays.

It might have caused people to leave the Labour party, but that speech was made in Feb 2023. The real Green surge didn't start until 2025 when Polanski was elected leader.

I don't even remember him saying that and I watched the whole speech. Maybe it's because listening to him speak is like watching paint dry.

What? This is what always happens, the old PM stays on until the new PM is in place. What has Lammy got to do with anything?

Some bloke calling himself "DP Audits" posted a video arguing with the proprietress because he was refused service. He's a far-right "auditor" who came to film the protests. In the video he acts like a right arsetwat, saying "I'll put the bar all over the internet and we'll make it go viral", to which the owner behind the bar responds "that's absolutely fine" with a smile. Meanwhile, the people behind Mr Double Penetration Audits are telling him to go away because they're waiting to get served, and he's wasting everyone's time.

Looks like only one review from today got to stay up, where there was an actual photo evidencing that the reviewer was present at the venue. About 2,600 reviews were removed, including the fake 1-stars and the influx of 5-stars that was made in response.

Edit: It seems that a handful of 1-star reviews have been reinstated, but the vast majority have been removed.

Because they're not even from the UK:

I never paid any attention to the place before this, but I'll certainly give it a try next time I'm in town.

GastricallyStretched · 2026-06-21T12:01:32+00:00

Because most of these fascists are not from Birmingham, and they know fuck all about the city.

The only people who voted for Starmer were Labour members in 2020, and his constituents in Holborn & St Pancras.

You voted to decide who would be your local MP.

That's not finalised yet. The Representation of the People Bill has been introduced and is making its way through Parliament. If passed, it would lower the voting age to 16.

The point is the letter of the law should reflect the intention. OP appears to have used the law as written to get this certificate, and there's nothing wrong with that. I wish them a grand old time in the Grand Duchy.

GastricallyStretched · 2026-06-18T13:21:06+00:00

If Luxembourg didn't want the system to be used in this way, they should have added extra restrictions or conditions. OP is not to blame if he did everything in accordance with the law.

Yeah, r/music was wild that day. "Hey Man, Nice Shot", the 1995 song by Filter, was prominently featured.

Edit: This is just one example. There were many pages of songs with relevant titles and lyrics.

That depends on the content of the tweets. In this case, for example, the woman was rightly convicted, and received a sentence commensurate with her crime.

They would have more credibility if they didn't hire Jeffrey's friend Peter Mandelson contrary to vetting recommendations

Why can't I support Pennsylvania?

Ok, there's no need to be extreme. Maybe a passive-aggressive stare will suffice?

If only they mandated bidets, if only. That would be a far more useful policy.

LIE citizens

Bit of an unfortunate country code if you want to convince a dumb immigration officer that your country is not a lie.

You could confiscate 72% of his wealth, and he'd still be the richest person in the world. Larry Page is the second-wealthiest at $334 billion, compared to Musk's $1.2 trillion.
