Falangist is not far from the truth.

My guess is they are a few millimetres apart.

Are you thinking of phalanges as in finger bones, phalanges as in massed infantry, or the original Greek meaning of phalanges as in logs?

More as in Spanish Fascists. Just for added emphasis on the far-right nature of Nigelā€™s corporation masquerading as a populist political party.

A Conservative spokesperson saidā€¦ ā€œā€¦These incidents took place in May last year. Our party is now under new leadershipā€

Same old excuse.

Avocados is probably a better unit.

Fiscally or morally?

Fiscally.

For measuring moral bankruptcy in Truss, one compares with a tray of prawns kept on a warm countertop since the 1990s.

Itā€™s coming up to the local elections and I donā€™t have a clue who I will vote for. All I know is that there is no way I am voting for Labour, Conservative or Reform UK. No votes for TERs!

I am worried that Reform UK will sneak a win here, but I still canā€™t persuade myself to vote Labour.

Iā€™m sorry, but the GPEW have absolutely had a big TERF problem:

The TER media was trying their best to ignore and downplay it. The BBC didnā€™t say anything until reports of some graffiti on statues. Iā€™m about 90% certain that the Millicent Fawcett graffiti is false flag because it was in chalk, and who in Britain talks about F-g Rights? I have never heard or seen that particular phrasing used here until today. There are also photos from throughout the day where there is no graffiti there.

Also look at the pictures. TERs angled their photos to hide the numbers. The last I heard was that there was 20,000-30,000+ there, at only a few days notice, and with other protests around the country. Someone was there as a proxy for myself and a few other disabled trans people, and she could only get to the edge of Parliament Square.

The Pride crowd could be something to see this year.
