One of my dad’s faves!
This anonymous rhyme makes me laugh … Thor the god of Thunder Was riding on his filly, “I’m Thor!” he cried, The horse replied, “Well, get a thaddle, thilly.”

The Langham family own the dock where this boat is moored, they donated £70,000 to Nigel Farage’s UKIP. Now they are earning £4,000 a day simply to let this boat moor in their harbour. £1,500,000 a year, of your money just to moor this monstrosity.
Nice! Always love a bucket…
Delighted to welcome Laila into the land of pie (andplayandpint) 🙌 🌟

This is so cruel & I'm tempted to despair but I don't want to. @Conservatives how can you be so cruel to this man & his family? This isn't right. Think about his son. And it makes me so angry that you do not treat people equitably. This is not just or fair & hurts a young boy.
This is yet another hideous example of Suella Bracerman’s vile cruelty and complete lack of compassion. It’s truly disgusting… theguardian.com/politics/2023/…

Rhodes is burning...What really matters is not that a Tourist playground burns, its the animals burned, wildlife lost and Nature destroyed...but out headlines talk of cancelled flights and holidays. If we think this is inconvenient..you wait to see the inconvenience of climate refugees, lack of food and water....floods, droughts and war....but lets just carry on leave that to our kids to deal with.
