Just clocked that Rosie Duffield wore a dinosaur badge today – presumably in honour of David Lammy (he of "men can grow a cervix" fame) referring to gender-critical feminists as "dinosaurs hoarding women's rights". What an absolute boss

So it's strange. We're constantly told that Nigel Farage, Richard Tice, and Rupert Lowe are "straight talkers". They've had a lot to say about Putin in the past. They've had a lot to say about Trump in the past. But suddenly they seem to have lost their voices. Why is that.
I think we have reached peak Hoolie now with darkness falling and winds howling in the deserted streets. #Edinburgh #StormEowyn
Glad I live in a solid 200 years old stone tenement flat. Nothing going to blow this down ! #Edinburgh #StormEowyn
Edinburgh City Council cancelled Hogmanay because of wind and rain, now closed down transport again because of #StormEowyn. Sends a message that the economy really doesn’t matter that much. This is a wet and windy City. Today so far is normal. @Edinburgh_CC
Edinburgh just normally windy so far . Yet all buses and trains cancelled. #StormÉowyn
Edinburgh’s Council leaders are doing immense damage to the City by cancelling Hogmanay celebrations. It’s not like wind and rain are unusual over New Year in Scotland. It will be such a disappointment to visitors who have travelled from all over the world.
I have long wished to visit Damascus. Is there any chance of it becoming a safe place for westerners to visit in the near future ?
The Governments of both France and Germany appear close to collapse. Russia is bombing Aleppo , war rages in Ukraine and the Middle East. Meanwhile the leading story on BBC is something about a presenter being rude. #MasterChef
Can it please stop raining now, just for a few days. 3 days of storm force winds and torrential rain. Dog and me both pent up and bored. #StormBert
A Jaguar used to be something a Brit aspired to because ( if you could afford it) it reflected your sense of heritage, and style over efficiency ( otherwise you would have chosen a BMW). A vintage one is still utterly romantic.

"Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDOR) is an annual observance on November 20 that honors the memory of the transgender people whose lives were lost in acts of anti-transgender violence"
As always, this isn't quite what it seems.
Suppose I’m going to have to put the heating on. I SO resent the cost of something so basic , so essential. Many people live in dread of having to heat their homes because of the cost. We pay the highest prices for energy in Europe. Why is that ?

Live worms in Costco salmon 😳
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Those are not worms but anisakis, a parasite found nearly in every wild-captured fish - pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC89…
On farmed fish, it's quite hard to found anisakis due to fish feeding: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
A fish with anisakis is safe to eat as long as:
• It was in the freezer >20h at -20 °C
• It was completely cooked

What is going to happen is we will have a direct comparison between UK and USA over the next few years. It will be hard to sell his vision when the comparison is going to be so glaring.
