Narcissist dynamics. A celebrity exercises power and control by criticising me. I must reclaim power and control by retaliating and attacking the source of their power.

Great to hear she's safe and even been able to visit family in Ukraine on her odyssey. Appreciate you sharing here - it's none of our business, of course, but a positive story is a great way to start the weekend.

That's awesome, kudos to you and Mrs Raymondo. And to Babushka for enduring such an arduous and no-doubt nerve-wracking journey. Good luck with the new living arrangements (and the shashlik!) I've put my thoughts across on this before, including earlier this week, so I won't post them again...

The mistake they are making is focusing too much on the numbers and employing simplistic reasoning - "Reform has won a bunch of local elections, voters must like their policies, so we need to be more like them". What they should be reading from it is that people are really unhappy with the...

Thanks. So it seems to me that the Telegraph is using that chart to support Fromage's tirade against what he foresees as a defence pact being "a step towards an EU army". The title on the chart is "Defence spending is not a top priority for voters" (archive.is link). That's despite "Improving...

Can you share a link to this? Curious to see the surrounding context.

Ahem. Please re-read my post, sir. Trump, not Fromage.

How would you specifically have him “put Trump straight”? What result would you hope for? What amount of retaliation would you accept and still consider it worthwhile action?

Jealous Guy - John Lennon

Based on a quote from Starmer’s spokesman, some failed claimants find ways to delay their return. The EU has also approved this type of scheme, so it seems it’s not a uniquely British problem. Source...

Something else I noticed on the Graun today was a substantial edit of this article about Starmer’s visit to Albania and the refugee return hubs idea: https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/may/15/starmer-trip-labelled-an-embarassment-as-albania-rules-out-asylum-seeker-deal When I first saw...

Sack the board. A basket case of a company.

Yeah, it was a way to make it about him.

As others have said, it’s how he is in everything. It’s how he is with his own family. Those behaviours make sense when you consider them from the perspective of a narcissist. Others more qualified than me have suggested he has full-blown narcissistic personality disorder [link]. This means...

Simple. Trump doesn’t want peace.

I agree with most of what you said, but I don’t at all buy into the idea that Putin has something on Trump. What could possibly embarrass or coerce him at this point? Aside, that is, from the lengthy list of things we all have on Trump because he’s done his crimes openly under the full glare...

Oh, I know. But I didn’t want to let that subtle lie slip through without correcting it for the benefit of anyone reading it.

Time for a fact check. Asylum seekers are not generally eligible for council housing. There are a few extreme circumstances, such as domestic violence, where exceptions are made. Councils tend to have local connection criteria for any applicant - this has been the case for years - which means...

My wife has zero faith in my abilities, to the point where she’ll talk to me as though we’re all agreed that I’m terrified at the very thought of having to do jobs around the house. I’m better than that, but it’s not the worst thing in the world for her to believe I’m not. Having successfully...

How anyone can give credence to something so badly written is beyond me.
