Re: Heart conditions that deserve a thread
A short story.

Re: John Lydon wants to represent Ireland at the next Eurovision
Was a bit uber camp this year.
I tried to read the Wiki page for the Irish non-binary person who is a “they”. It’s an almost impossible read with theys, and theirs all over the place, quite amusing. Enjoyed their performance though, a good point of difference from the rest

So Wes Streeting has been in dialogue with more Tory MPs over possible defections. This really is getting quite bizarre now. I expect to see Sunak saying it's all going to plan again soon.

I don't agree with Kate Forbes on a range of issues, a few of which I will never agree with her on, particularly the more obvious ones, but the pile on from the Greens is laughable as it is only because they got kicked out of government.

I don't support Israel, I'm just aware of what Hamas are and that they should be removed.
