Should have been in Tooting in the 60s.

Ace it was. All sorts and great coffee.

Mind you, I would kill for a cheese and pickle sandwich right now. We used to have those when we went fishing in the Bedfordshire brickyard ponds.

These says? No chance.

All this after an evening of feasting on posh bread, stinking Camembert, and wild boar liver sausage.

I was in a service station yesterday. Cheese and pickle was there. England stands.

Probably more case of “News you won’t read in the Mail”…..actually named in court proceedings

The usual piss poor nonsense from Jan Moir.

My Christmas was all the more cheery because the Just Stop Oil protesters are still behind bars. Let's hope the courts keep it that way

Don't know about you, but my Christmas was improved immensely by the cheering thought that the Just Stop Oil protesters who blocked the M25 in 2022 are still behind bars.

Every spoonful of festive sugar made all the sweeter by imagining a grim jailscape featuring JSO ringleaders feasting on gruel and darning mailsacks in their freezing cells.

You'd think they'd be glad of the undeniable climate crisis benefits of incarceration – living communally, consuming fewer megawatts, burning fewer fossil fuels, not driving cars and being exempt from boarding gas-guzzling public transport... but no.

The wretches want out and are appealing their sentences. Now Friends Of The Earth and Greenpeace UK have been allowed to intervene in support of the famous five when they challenge their jail terms in court next month.

But why? Surely the law must concern itself with only the effect, not the cause – no matter how righteous and justified these fanatics consider their actions to be. Few need reminding that for their roles in disrupting traffic on the orbital motorway around London, JSO leader Roger Hallam was jailed for five years while activists Daniel Shaw, Louise Lancaster, Lucia Whittaker De Abreu and Cressida Gethin were given four years each.

You might recall Cressida's mother poshly complaining outside the court that her daughter's sentence 'means she will not be present at her brother's wedding next summer'. Well, that still makes me weep – with laughter.

What a sad old lonely bint she must be.

I simply cannot get my head round why anyone would actually spend their limited mental capacity to arrive at that mindset……(Author’s note: I do know why!)

I thought prisons were like holiday camps?

The Mail ran a story this morning claiming that Wayne Rooney had taken a woman back to his bachelor flat in Plymouth implying tat the picture had been taken recently. It would appear the picture was taken in the Summer when one of Wayne's children was actually at the flat and the picture was cropped to hide the fact that the woman was actually there with her partner.
