  1. That's unfair. Any girl would be attracted, if not overwhelmed, by the allure of this handsome alpha-male & his seductive aroma of sweat, fags & stale beer.

    Did Labour MPs ever imagine that they would be ending the first period of their first government in more than 14 years with their own Home Secretary feeling the need to publicly deny that she plans to defect to Reform?

  2. Age is an issue of law. In the USA, the law defines the age of consent as 18 years. In the UK for example, it is 16, but in either jurisdiction, sex with a person younger than the age of consent is rape. I repeat: sex with a person younger than the age of consent is rape.

  3. Yep, I recognise that story, but far more devastating than getting papers rejected is getting research grant proposals rejected. Not only does the review process take longer, but the reasons for rejection are often flimsy & appeals ineffective.

    Paper gets 2 positive reviews & 1 very critical one

    Authors work very very hard on R&R

    Journal sends it back to critical reviewer (only) and 1 new reviewer

    Critical reviewer is quite positive about revision

    New reviewer is negative

    Editor sits on reviews for 1 month, then rejects

    Authors sad

  4. So did they pay a ton of money for a trip to Epstein Island, unaware that the raping of children was part of the deal? Wow!

    Massie: “[Speaker Johnson is] trying to say the rich, powerful men who flew to Epstein Island are the victims now. The only way a ‘Christian man’ can stand up there and sell a lie like that is if he’s already decided in his head that protecting them is somehow okay.”
