Ahhh the refreshing taste of centrism https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c8rd52zl018o

Yeah that was a fun one

Proper prosecco

I see Israel got bored of war crimes and moved on to plain old war instead.

So much for containing the conflict.

3 under. Easy peas.

Did lol

Difficulty seems to scale across the week. Monday and Tuesday I am in with a chance of getting maybe 50% - 75% (although often I am able to ID the definition and then get the answer using the letters I already have on the grid and am only able to make sense of the rest of the clue after the fact, and sometimes not even then). Weds onwards and I'm pretty much shit out of luck.

Hah, good point - I put a 'click for answer thingy' in the original post so as to not leave anyone hanging.

Click for answer.

Here's your answer, fuckface

Favourite from yesterday's Guardian cryptic:

Type of green salad (5)

Click for answer.

Genre. Definition = Type. Green = word to be anagrammed. Salad = anagram indicator

Feel like these are all pitching at pretty much the same difficulty level, and they're going to need to start introducing some more difficult ones if it's going to continue to be engaging / useful as a learning tool.

Double fisting, nice

For everyone grudgingly admiring the pager attacks, consider how you'd feel if Hezbollah had randomly blown up x thousand electronic devices scattered at random amongst a civilian population.

Pretty sure you'd call that terrorism.

I'd be in for a pack, I could do with another fist (ooooh matron)

hahahaha

Poor Gordon must have suffered quite the head injury. Competely forgot everything about his past and woke up thinking he was a Guardian columnist.

This is a good short read on the sum total of what we have to learn from Italy on curbing illegal migration: https://wewantedworkers.substack.com/p/what-can-the-uk-learn-from-italian

tl:dr:

absolutely nothing

Instead you would do what? Just ignore one of the big 4

Boy is this some false dichotomy.

I guess it's just the way it goes though. You go to Germany, you discuss trade. You go to Belguim, you discuss EU policy. You go to Italy, you discuss how much you love drowning poor people out at sea. Those are your only options.

Yes, meeting with fascists to share top tips about immigration is definitely Good and Normal

Fucking hell

Ran over a big orange and black furry caterpillar up on the moors yesterday. Saw it too late and couldn’t change direction in time. RIP fluffy crawler.

1 under. Prevaricated for a bit over which bit was the definition, but having tried the one option I moved over to the other and got it almost straight away.

3 under today. V straightforward.

Ah, cheers. I (think) I solved it by letting a little excess fluid out of the system. At least, I did that and the piston appears to no longer be sticky, so hopefully correlation equals causation.

Yeah got this pretty quickly, although was one of those where I figured the definition, got part of the clue, guessed right and then figured out the rest afterwards.

Fuck yes
