Horrifying story from Liz about the Auschwitz block 24 brothel and the hidden history of the aryanised jews forced into it
-
DonaldS: imagine that if we were to hand the supply-chain for curtains, or orange squash, or embossed stationery, over to criminal gangs, trouble would follow. I'm no fan of state regulation - but I'm finding it difficult to think of a market more suited to regulation
-
Ah.. innit sweet? Horribly dated, but taking itself far too seriously for ten years ago, let alone now.
-
Jon shares a cool Livejournal coding trick: only works for logged in LJ users but rather cool(tags: livejournal)

Mad Nad says: 'I have rights and I am going to find out what they are and, make sure every other MP knows what they are too.' Most of them already do Nad, even I know you can't film in most of the Palace without permission. This incompetent is running the campaign?(tags: Nadine+Dorries House+of+Commons)

About


This is my personal general interest journal where I write about or link to whatever I've fond that amused, intrigued or enraged me at the time. I'm a committed liberal, equalist and atheist, but I really like it when people can demonstrate I'm wrong, and have close friends with whom I completely disagree on some if not all of those points.
There probably ought to be a Creative Commons licence in here somewhere but in the meantime consider this permission to quote me (link) & link to what I write.
If you decide to keep reading, please do say hello, let me know where you found me from, etc. I promise not to bite (well, unless you want me to...)
