My close and lovely friend of nearly 60 years has died, Clayton Charles Ruby. My heart hurts greatly.
Fifty years since "Fuddle-Duddle." I can still see PET smirking as Some Hon. Members howled: "Oh oh."

Is the "modest source of national identity" improving, I hope?

As of last night's 3 day roll of roughly 1300 cases, the CPC lead , which was 12 pts in March ,now 2 pts and within the MOE, an effective statistical tie. More worrisome than just this trajectory is the newly stable 10 pt lead for the LPC in Ontario. This would mean LPC minority

Between 2015 and 2017 support for Britain’s main parties became much more predicated on issues of culture and identity, reflecting a radical change in how parties attract voters buff.ly/2GSdWJx

I filmed this sad pig’s final moments as he arrived at an LA slaughterhouse. 💔 He was immobile in cramped quarters for days over the 2,000 mile journey. Yes, 2,000 miles like this. 😡 RT if you agree that farm animals shouldn’t spend their final days like this. @la_animalsave
