They are really good. A Polish make. Very crunchy! Reduced price with a nectar car. I might have to go back and stock up.

There’s another thread in this “Eurofoods”

Oh god, I am going to have to just stick with this name until the thread ends, I am confusing myself.

I am indeed

I made some brownies with a layer of cream cheese for ds' girlfriend's birthday

And tonight dh and I are going round to their place for dinner - the first time they've fed us!

A year ago, ds had the offer on his flat accepted and my dad died suddenly and unexpectedly a few days after, so it's both a happy and sad celebration.

I love Amsterdam too. We were there in May. Here’s a bridge.

Yes!

Also, my top tip is always buy rice, lentils, pulses and spices from the World Foods aisle. Bigger bags and cheaper.

No reason not to believe this but it appear Starmer is about to address the nation again.

It's OK. I like both of you 🤣

More bad news.

EDL thugs have stormed an asylum hotel in Rotherham, god knows what’s now happening inside.

In Bolton, several hundred Muslim men have congregated and are charging police & throwing things.

From Cold War Steve

I do not want to think what happens if it is about attacking and getting inside hotels. Someone could be killed. Riots are often about looting or stealing or rucking with police. But the hotel thing is a whole different order because the prospect of racial violence could mean serious injury or death.

The comments on that post are dreadful.

Both of those will please some Mumsnetters, especially our newer members. The first is what they want to see, the second is how they will justify the first.

Agreed. I read a few and couldn't stomach any more.

Looking at it live on sky news I don’t think they’ve got into the hotel, thank god. The police are in a stand off with them.

I just have to keep reminding myself that there are more of us then there are of them. Because it is true.

I saw a photo of them entering - hang on I’ll post

PM speaking now.

Scroll down. I feel really on edge wondering WTF is going on in there

There will be posters taking issue with Yvette Cooper's statement no doubt, and with Keir Starmer's speech now.

KS has called it out for what it is "far right thuggery".

Are they not allowed to? Are we in a totalitarian regime?

From Dan Hodges

He also said all right minded people should be calling it out. Clear shot across the bows to Farage and Tice.
