Had mine done last year, block paving in a new-ish style of lighter and somewhat random blocks. Neighbours and delivery drivers all commented how nice it looked. So it’s made a great improvement, but one tip - be certain the contractor is fully insured and that they take formal responsibility...

Was going to suggest Dead Space - haunted-ish space ship rather than haunted house, but creepy, jump scares, nightmarish etc., great game. But then checked and apparently it’s not available on PS4, which surprised me. The original was on PS3 and the recent remake on PS5. Shame. A slightly left...

Don’t know in this case, but the poster has previously mentioned washing using Bilt Hamber products, which are biodegradable. Is that what you mean by bio cleaners?

They should, but I doubt they will. Rather, they will be interpreted by party leaders as necessitating a move to the right and working harder than ever to crush the left. Here on pfm, Kirk will probably be along with a sneering post at some point to underline this.

Round my way the disagreement is less about which is correct and more about which is the posh one. I maintain that the none-variant is posh, and use the alone-variant myself. Whereas my other half is the other way around. So to read from Mick P (who I assume knew her or something) that her...

“Hester, a businessman from West Yorkshire, runs a healthcare technology firm, the Phoenix Partnership (TPP), which has been paid more than £400m by the NHS and other government bodies since 2016, primarily to look after 60m UK medical records.“ It may not be surprising any more, but it’s still...

“The Charity Commission for England and Wales is a non-ministerial department of His Majesty's Government…”

It’s not reporting. The words are emotive, inflammatory and don’t match the content of the video (even if, as I acknowledged above, she might have said things elsewhere that matched the words more closely). The reason it matters is that that way of twisting language is a material part of the...

Well, if you really want to be finger jabby and 'did I say?' about it, I didn't claim that you had said she is unhinged. I cautioned against using the opponent's cesspit tactics too freely. Talking about using the word unhinged when doing so seemed entirely fair because it is literally the...

And for the conflation she should be on the hook - I said that. But to say that she is unhinged is a distortion of the truth and is exactly the way that algorithms on youtube, twitter etc drag discourse and create the poisonous climate we all suffer under nowadays. The same goes for the...

Be very careful. I have no wish to defend senior Labour figures such as Reeves, but what you’re “quoting” from here is not a neutral news source. She is not unhinged in this clip, and while she does conflate the terms, what in the clip she urges for stopping is a list which includes...

That duty resonates, but it’s so hard to figure out tactically. Not so long ago, even if it meant holding one’s nose, if the only chance of not returning a Tory MP meant voting Labour then strategically that was the thing to do. But now? I’m not sure there a peg big enough to halt that stench.

Rather than us all sitting back and lamenting that it’ll never happen, someone really needs to challenge Sunak to act against this and Truss’ Bannon performance and prove that this isn’t where his party and the U.K. government is. Because otherwise it’s an admission that that is exactly where...

Is that definitely the case? I am unsure of the locations of the attacks vs the borders.

Somewhat tangential, but does anyone know who that is in the YouTube thumbnail for A Very British Coup? I’d quite like to watch it and find out for myself, but don’t have time at the moment. It looks a bit like someone I know (now) and I’m curious who looked like them 40-odd years ago.
