Conservative members chose Liz Truss as leader too. It's really not a good look.

The real problem for the Conservatives is just how far their membership has diverged from the mainstream of British society. Post Brexit entryism from UKIP supporters has left the Conservative Party in real trouble.

So now every site has cringe popups that nobody reads or understands, thanks regulators!!

It's not the law that mandates the awful UI of those popups... it's Google. I'm an adwords publisher, on my blog and a couple of (formerly!) popular web-apps. My sites were all compliant with the legislation, but not with Google's policy for adwords publishers. Their algorithm sent me an e-mail threatening to cut off my income unless I implemented one of their "approved" cookie scripts. As any fool knows, it's simply not possible to contact a real human at Google, so I was forced to do as they wished. So now all my sites have pointless, annoying cookie popups.

Everyone hates those popups, but don't blame the legislation - blame Google for forcing the whole Internet into malicious compliance.

I suppose when you are down in a dank shitty hole of your own making, normal sunlight and open ground must seem like an ivory tower.

Your Mum's journey seems quite positive, overall. Is she now in favour of re-joining? If not, then she still has a long way to go.

What the actual fuck?

This makes me angry.

The country needs more people. Locals are not having enough babies to cover that, and the world is full of fantastic other people who want to come here, and help make the place great. The only reason to turn them away is a toxic mix of short-sightedness and racism.

Fortunately for them, my adblocker isn't on YouTube. It runs on my browser!

MY browser.

Just wait. Some asshole Google employee will read his blog, and unapprove him.

I certainly want a MicroSD slot and a headphone jack on any phone I buy. These are features I use. A lot.

Nobody said that racism was going to be cheap.

r/Wellthatsucks is now a subreddit about vacuum cleaners.

Made my day.
