Who’d have thought that there’d be two ultraright nationalists from the UK elected to the European Parliament? If you’d asked me 6 months ago I wouldn’t have said it was possible. The news is compounded by similar results from the Netherlands. In fact, the only upside found in a vast swing right in Europe is that of the election of a Pirate Party MEP (link in Swedish).
What happened to that bastion of liberality, Europe? The US seems to have managed to elect a mostly-progressive black man whilst we swing inexorably the other way…

“So, how was your weekend?”
“I spent it passing a kidney stone.”
“Oh…”
This has got to be one of the more unpleasant and uncomfortable experiences I’ve had, I have to say.

I stumbled out of Moorgate station on Sunday (the majority of the Underground being shut for engineering works) and into the set of the remake of The Day of the Triffids. I was immediately accosted by a veritable host of zombies, stumbling around their abandoned cars in the (false) moonlight, as newspapers blew around (gently encouraged by fans in sidestreets);
They look a bit lost…
The (false) moonlight was provided by a powerful pair of lamps suspended on a crane, which I got a pic of before they were hoisted up:
Before:
And here’s the after image:
Oddly enough, this weirdly-grilled Nissan 350Z (badged “GTR Skyline”) was on the set as well, apparently abandoned and overflowing with newspaper…

Anything involving that magical name is ridiculously expensive. Ouch.
But is it worth it. Even your accidents look good.
Yes

I wouldn’t normally comment on this sort of thing but I am nonplussed by the following:
But the 25-year-old from Portsmouth is reported to be a staunch Catholic who is opposed to abortion.
Ms Chamberlain decided against this after talking over the matter with partner Mike Pedace, 32.
Surely if Ms Chamberlain is a staunch Catholic she should be married to Mr Pedace? I thought pregnancy outside of wedlock was a sin in itself? I mean, I don’t mean to be snarky, but something here doesn’t compute.
