"Forth The Golden Eagle" sounds like the title of an email newsletter for a Neo-Nazi group. I'd shop any kids I heard shooting that to PREVENT :dread:

No idea why it's that and I don't think it went any further, but who doesn't want a golden eagle? :datass:

Those ratings are literally insane.

Edit:

It's really not good for Johnson though that he's only got a +2% from the hardest of hard core Tory members.

Amusement under late capitalism is the prolongation of work.

Liverpool's mayor Joe Anderson has been arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to commit bribery and witness intimidation.

He and four others were held as part of an investigation into the awarding of building contracts in the city.

It is understood the Labour Party has suspended Mr Anderson pending the outcome of the case.

The year-long police probe, Operation Aloft, has focussed on a number of property developers.

Liverpool City Council said it was co-operating with Merseyside Police.

A police statement said those arrested include two men, 33 and 62, both from Liverpool, on suspicion of conspiracy to commit bribery and witness intimidation.

A 46-year-old man from Ainsdale has also been arrested on suspicion of the same offence.

The other two arrested men are a 72-year-old man from Liverpool and a 25-year old from Ormskirk, who have been arrested on suspicion of witness intimidation.

Developer Elliot Lawless was arrested in January 2019 and denied any wrongdoing. Elliot Lawless is currently released under investigation and was not one of the five arrested earlier on Friday.

There have been reports to our local constabulary that people are hiding razor blades behind posters like that. So just be careful if you see any and want to take them down.

Anecdotal, complete bs, etc.

Doesn't hurt to be careful.

In case anyone thinks they are imagining it, the government is also openly trying to stop schools educating children about racism as a societal problem.

Need to be doubly careful then because the blades will be super rusty by now.

Boris Johnson gets asked a question regarding the Indian government violently cracking down on protesting Punjabi farmers, assumes he's being asked about the situation in Kashmir and gives a gooseberry fool response to that instead.

Former Foreign Secretary!
