Talking about knobs, an olympic scandal

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/articles/czej70jyg4eo

It gives me the willies just thinking about it.

All of the (supposed) plopping and frothing needs to be taken in light of the UKs stubborn sub 70% turnout in general elections and sub 30% turnout for local elections.

I'm sorry but when 7 in 10 people can't be arsed to vote, the suggestion that (some) new posters are a vanguard of change stretches credulity. And they hate it.

So true. Where are the revolutionary hordes that are going to take the government down? CBA to even get to the polling station.

With all the squirrels around and the winter olympics opening in Italy today

Can't have people getting shafted at the Olympics...

See, this is the kind of Winter Olympic stuff I would follow!

Missed the opportunity for some U-turn jokes, here.

North Yorkshire "toilet tax" plan for loo fees is deferred - BBC News https://share.google/FP5hMm42toX9We2YX

I was imagine a load of Reformers suddenly getting excited about money from shit.

Talking of pricks: police are at Mandelson's house. I hope he is crapping himself.

They've given him a few days to lose some evidence, haven't they?

Efacsen · 06/02/2026 17:26

He's going to be interviewed under police caution

Must be getting a bit real now

He'll be able to afford a good legal team, no doubt.
