Even spray on cheese??!
I read the news today oh boy! Page 2,967
In boycotting Heinz beans, you're causing more harm to your own country than the USA. Or at least if millions of others followed you in some internet created protest frenzy.
We are the biggest single producer of Heinz baked beans in the world, so together you'd be putting thousands of Brits' jobs at risk. Not to mention annoying a lot of baked bean lovers, for whom Heinz is the only brand, millions of 'em. 🚫🫘 😠

No.
Because I'm still buying beans.
My money is still - eventually - going into a British workers pocket.
I'm not going to see anymore Hollywood movies
Not because I'm boycotting them
But because they're all f**king awful

The winners of the Boat Race have been warned not to put their cocks in the River Thames. At least that's what I thought they said...

Just watched that - am I right in thinking the winners of the men's race get to shag (one each) the losers of the women's race?
Bill Maher and his friend(!) Kid Rock had a private meeting with (frequent Maher critic) President Trump in the White House a couple of weeks ago. His report on the evening is worth watching.

Maher seems like a very reasonable person -sort of like Joe Rogan, but without the weird conspiracy stuff.
Interesting.
I guess at heart Trump is an entertainer - and to that end a performer.
(Aren't all politicians?)
Sadly the performance he has chosen to give is of an unpleasant, boorish individual with a cruel, avaricious streak.
What is sadder is that half the country find that sort of thing appealing.

The women have better things to do. But the men can shag each other if they're that desperate.

As public schoolboys , they probably do that every night anyway

Yeah, it was disappointing to hear that he is capable of being a normal person. You'd think that a centrist, reasonable persona would resonate with the majority of voters, but I guess not. We're all worse off because of our fatal attraction to loudmouths and their bombastic promises.

Amen.
And I'm not even religious.
