10 days to go

Good morning . Thank you again @DuncinToffee

Peonies in lieu of cats. Wafting their scent to my fellow Scottish mum setters.

That’s like a Georgia O’Keefe painting come to life. Beautiful 🤩

Just shared a message on the old thread by mistake, but thought everyone would enjoy the hat I saw at the music festival I was at over the weekend

😹
none of them are very good. whoever wins will be the best of a bad bunch.

Jimmy Dimly didn't do his homework

Nick Ferrari: How many people are currently on the Bibby Stockholm?

James Cleverly(Home Secretary): I've no idea. 🤦

Well, he’s only the Home Secretary, of course he doesn’t know.

Joining in the spirit with a nicked picture of a cat I would have if I allowed myself one...

I bet they delay doing anything. I can't imagine them risking drawing attention to the sheer mismanagement. New prisons should have been built years ago. Labour should have tackled this too - nevertheless it's been 14 years of dodging this issue (saving money and fear of the NIMBYs).
Party before country.

That especially hurts as I can see where many millions lot of that money has been spent on a personal vanity project.

I see Craig Williams and Laura Saunders have now been suspended from the Tory party. But presumably remain on the ballot papers with Conservative next to their names as postal ballots have gone out and even returned.

About time.

The Conservative Party have withdrawn support for Craig Williams and Laura Saunders

Just repeating my suggestion from last thread that a very public "You fix it or we will" from Starmer over the betting story would be a popular move (not with the tory media, obviously) on the ground. That's what I would expect from an incoming administration. Especially one that is going to carry the can for the sins of the past few billions of years. Mass extinction ? Dinosaurs ? Corbyn was there, you know.

Rwanda plan being "scaled back". Maybe HMG can use the detention centres for prisoners instead.

I see there are also elections in Rwanda, wonder if that will also have an impact.

Morning all. Thank you for the new thread, Duncin. No cat tax from me today, but I do have this gem from Sunak's FB page.🤬🤬🤬

Oh no. I happened to be In Montgomeryshire yesterday, some giant Craig William boards in a field, I wonder if they will be coming don.

A posterr on one of the reform threads thinks Le Pen is lining up small boats to send to Uk

We need tinfoil

Sounds like a grand Roman Imperial plan. Which emperor walked across the bay of Naples on a pontoon of boats ? Caligula ?

I love the rather drug-induced picture the Mail is trying to paint of asylagrants all sitting around playing boules just waiting for July the 5th. I guess it really is true, the devil finds work for empty minds.

Can one make boats out of tinfoil?

@Spandauer He doesn't say any "human" words but he makes a noise that sounds like Sweep out of Sooty & Sweep. I think you can train them to repeat words with lots of patience. Which reminds me of this story, which I love. The thought of 100 swearing parrots is quite something.

I cannot get a photo of arsehole dog atm as she stole a whole plate of freshly baked chocolate chip cookies off the side and is currently a border collie on a sugar high on a hot day. Basically behaving like I will be on election night. Right little raver this one.

Oh, I forgot to post the link - it is basically parrots in a wildlife park who were teaching each other to swear. The crazy thing was that they were adding to their swearing - i think it started with one rescue parrot shouting "you bastard" at its keeper but then the birds started shouting , (without anyone teaching them) "you fat bastard" everytime they saw the keeper. They're very clever birds, cleverer than the average Tory politician.

My favourite recent animal story is this one

Link please!!

That's old style intelligence, none of this new fangled "AI" nonsense.
