This is a stand alone because it so precisely sums up every complaint I have had about the "experts" for the past decade. They always imply the "science is settled" and you should just shut up and believe what the experts say.
As a scientist, I have been crushed to hear the stupidity...that you are not supposed to question. My most concerning moment came when they started to dictate masks. I looked up the studies for using masks for viruses...and they all said they were useless...especially for lay people who wouldn't use/fit them properly. I then went back to those studies a few weeks later and they had been taken down...WTF. And not because the data was found to be faulty, but for political reasons.
Fooled one time is a lesson, fooled twice is a choice...never again.
After four decades of hard work, Mark finally gets the promotion he deserves… to head of homemade pizza tasting.
So tell me, what was your milestone work anniversary gift?
Another trip around the sun. Happy Birthday!

In fairness to the King, that "speech to the Democrats" has the Starmer government's paw-prints all over it - and the King delivered it at exactly the same time the execrable Starmer was fighting off an attempt to put the prime minister before a parliamentary scrutiny committee where the truth of what went on during the sordid Peter Mandelson affair would have been extorted. Starmer imposed a three-line whip on his own MPs to head off any rebellion. He, predictably, took the coward's way out.
If you're British then you could spot immediately the several...
