"Organic" fruit and vegetables. Certain produce may have been cultivated in an "environmentally friendly" way, but biochemically ALL fruit and veg are organic by definition.

English 'nationalism' will arrive by default after the Scots go and Ireland is unified.

Russian foreign policy has historically been based on 'spheres of influence', which in their case ranged across the entirity of the old Russian Empire; from Finland and the Baltic Sea to Vladivostock, from the Arctic to the Caucasus and the Black Sea, including Latvia. Lithuania, Estonia, Eastern Poland, Belarus, Ukraine, and the various central Asian "Stans". Over the last 30 years the Russian sense of nationalism has been eroded as the various regions around it's periphery have gained independence, and in the case of the European regions realigned to a Western viewpoint. Putin is sabre rattling for his domestic audience. He had jusification, in his eyes, for his actions in the Crimea, and the continuing support for the secessionists in Donbas, as he was supporting ethnic Russian minorities, ( a situation made more complicated by Stalin's enforced population relocations that altered the local demographics ). In the case of Ukraine he sees a threat from the political defeat of pro Russian parties, yet has been emboldened in the last few years by Trump's apparent lukewarm support for the European members of NATO. Hopefully this is just posturing to acheive some sort of concession regarding Ukraine's future direction - he has little to gain by going "hot" against the US; Russian forces are strong on paper, but have been poorly serviced over the last decade, and I wouldn't think there would be a great level of support domestically for a major military confrontation. It really depends on how firm the US wants to be, given it has redirected it's attention towards China.

Presumably he is now enjoying Paradise by a dashboard light.

Heaven no longer has to wait.

Now we will never know what he wouldn't do for love.

And the conclusion seemed to be that if you open a window you might hear some birds singing. ( He even seems to admit he isn't sure what point he is trying to make with this "major story" that the media have overlooked ).

What do you think it adds that we did not already know ?

Kamala is waiting patiently in the wings.

And it's difficult to wfh if your 'office' is the galley on a sub. Given the strident kick back we have seen from him in the last couple of days, AL76 must be really worried about the possibility of Boris being ousted.

Boris is a bullshitter. Always has been, always will be.

Surprised Warrior missed this one; Not exactly a big hit to the UK economy, but being outside the EU has led to one iron working company moving much of it's production to Spain to avoid US import charges; https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-59857275

Newcastle's approach to this window smacks of a scatter-shot panic, without any coherent plan as to which positions to prioritise, and which players might fit their vision. I am liking all the reports of players turning them down because of their league position.

He will not be 'found clean', because he is most certainly not, but he will in all likelihood not be found 'guilty' - Sue Gray doesn't have the remit to do so.

I was only referencing adverts targetted at me.

Boris is the PM, the rules were introduced on his watch by his Cabinet, he owns them.

Deflecting the debate does not negate his culpability.

Another false flag actor ? "A folk singer from the Czech Republic has died after deliberately catching Covid, her son has told the BBC. Hana Horka, 57, was unvaccinated and had posted on social media that she was recovering after testing positive, but died two days later. Her son, Jan Rek, said she got infected on purpose when he and his father had the virus, so she could get a recovery pass to access certain venues." https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-60050996

They'll still be shit. ( Mind you, they are shit we seem to struggle against ).

Advert breaks during weekday daytime TV: it's all life insurance, funeral plans, burglar alarms, and equity release.

After Leicester found the loophole the FA closed it.

They know full well that Sue Grey's report will shy away from any direct criticism of the PM, and when such criticism fails to appear they will turn it into 'no case to answer'.

Boris claims nobody warned him the drinks party was against the rules. He made the f**king rules !!! He shouldn't have had to rely on others to keep him onside.
