www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... Counterpoint to this: My Dad died last year (to the day) and NS&I dealt with and laid out his premium bonds within a few weeks. The process was extremely easy.
We all know the goals. 1) Distract from the Epstein files to try and 2) Keep Trump out of jail
4/ Ok, so what ARE the goals? It seems, primarily, destroying lots of missiles and boats and drone factories. But the question that stumped them: what happens when you stop bombing and they restart production? They hinted at more bombing. Which is, of course, endless war.
I'm aware that this is the early stages of an investigation but it's worth remembering at all times that Joey Barton is, and always has been, an absolutely massive cunt. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

If it's written by Burchill, it's going to be one of the worst possible takes. She's fucking vile.
We donโt need a yet-more-policed X; we need an X where only direct exhortations towards violence (all those death threats to J.K. Rowling, for example) โ often accompanied by โdoxxingโ, or publishing someoneโs personal information โ are rigorously punished. โ๏ธ Julie Burchill
I looked at my National Insurance number once when I got my card aged 16 (I guess), and have never forgotten it. I also remember my grandparents phone number from the pre-area-codes starting with zero times - 86 484208.
Certain numbers accompany us through our lives, connected to our memories of people and places, of significant events. What numbers remain with you decades later? And why? This poem is taken from Whatever You Do, Just Don't (HappenStance Press, 2023), my second full collection...
I'm quite proud of the relationship I've built with my daughters. I think they're pretty open with me about things. However, when my 16 year old turned to me during this bit of #TheTraitors and laughing, said 'That's me on the second day of my period', I wondered if 'too open' might be a thing. ๐๐
