@inscius (groans) 🤣

I do like a steaming pile o'compost 😂 smells nice too

Oh no, they got me 😂

Well after winning $3.75bn dollars compensation last year, my luck was going to have to run out some time 🤷♀️

An oldie but a goodie 😏

Cannabis with a street value of more than £1m has been found in two neighbouring 'designer' homes in a quiet village.

More than 1,000 plants were being grown in 18 different rooms in the five-bedroom houses in Mill Road, in Fen Drayton, Cambridgeshire.

Police said what had once been two "designer homes" had been "destroyed, with windows boarded, holes in walls, doors removed and cabling everywhere".

Whoopsie

The head of the Metropolitan police’s Black Police Association (MBPA) committed gross misconduct over his participation in a WhatsApp group that shared sexist comments and racist remarks about Asian people, a police tribunal has found.

He faces potential dismissal after Friday’s tribunal ruling. It found he was in a chat group with a former officer, Carlo Francisco, where racist, misogynistic, homophobic and pornographic messages were sent.

Aww, the BBC's Newscast spent so much time yesterday saying that there was no evidence that LA's fire hydrants were low or no pressure and that there was plenty of water 😟

Gavin Newsom has ordered a probe into why Los Angeles’ fire hydrants ran out of water amid a spate of wildfires that have decimated the region.

Grooming gang rhetoric risks inciting mass violence, says Wes Streeting

Health secretary points to New Zealand mosque massacre and says entire communities must not be tarred with the same brush

@ThatCrazyDude can't seem to link to it but saw a tweet saying:

"Entire communities must not be tarred with the same brush" - Unless you're looking to tar white people using phrases like 'systemic racism', 'white privilege' and 'legacy of colonialism' in which case feel free to tar away

No sh!t 🙄

Two power station owners to get more than £12m for three hours of electricity

[Suppliers] able to charge 50 times recent market price to ensure supply during evening peak

Yes, because the government has placed so much emphasis on bloody wind turbines that when there is no wind they have to pay through the nose to stop the lights going out 🙄

Stop trying to make this look like the evil capitalists are at fault, here - at least they could plug the gap

@inscius don't know, the ASA here is pointless anyway because by the time any advert is banned, the campaign is always long finished so the ads aren't shown any more anyway 🤷♀️

Have just been sent a text by my GP practice asking everyone to wear a mask when they come in 🤬

There are times (like now) that I realise that I should have made more of an effort to exercise and build up some muscle and flexibility

But then, I din't want to get radicalised 😉

Keir Starmer will order Labour MPs to vote against new national inquiry into Asian rape grooming gangs

https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/32663976/keir-starmer-labour-against-inquiry-rape-gangs/

The UK’s advertising watchdog has banned a campaign by an online investment company predominantly targeting Muslims that featured images of euros and US dollars and the words “The United States of America” in flames alongside a call to “join the money revolution”.

Of course, if the adverts had been for bacon or 'junk food' then TfL wouldn't have allowed them to be posted in the first place 🙄

'When police found a missing victim in a car with her abusers, they told her she'd get the men in trouble.

When her mother told police her child was being "abused by Asian males", they called her "racist" and said she "should be happy" she was being
"taught a different culture."'
