I'm all for him saying that. Unless Fry can show a decent grasp of the complex challenges facing us we shouldn't assume he'd be competent.
Though someone with compassion would be a big step up for us all.

The obvious point of course being, shooting before you are hit by a car could be self-defence (circumstances depending), whilst shooting AFTER" you have been hit, however seriously or superficially, can't be anything but retaliation... you can't change having been hit by shooting someone afterwards.

The UK population would then very quickly learn what the whole might makes right/spheres of influence new (old) paradigm really means for someone who is not the dominant power in it's area, as the EU moves to retaliate against our reneging on previous agreements.

I can see us entering into such an agreement & then a Reform government simply refusing to honour it.
Whilst legally they would have to, they very clearly sit in the "to hell with international law" camp alongside Trump, Putin, et-al.

If I may give some advice to MPs (finally) moving over here - it's not appropriate to disable replies.
Yes, block or mute those who are offensive but you need to be open to feedback. Get your staff to filter if necessary, but be open to engagement.
This is not merely a broadcast channel.

I saw a starter pack show up on my feed recently. It had a load of people I like/appreciate/respect that I already followed (incl yourself) so I followed the rest too on the basis of the company they were included with 😄

People either had a megadrive or snes when I was a kid. As a younger kid master system or nes, though it wasn't as usual to own either at the time (at least in my memory). The Megadrive & SNES dominated during my teens.

No Kemi, Trump threatening to invade a NATO ally is not a "second order issue."
It’s a direct challenge to Britain’s security and the future of NATO.

This is a trivial example but the widespread and persistent inability to identify obviously fake information online (the film is 11 months away, doesn’t have a final edit yet, is probably still in the reshoot stage, and won’t be as long as Lawrence of Arabia) is a bigger problem

Err, very much not true.
The UK has postal voting, as do many other places.
