When people in the UK prop up the likes of George Galloway, Roger Waters, David Miller and Chris Williamson (and many others cosplaying as contrarians) this is the sort of regime they act as apologists for.
One of the world’s greatest living artists and documentarians and he’s perpetually a target for the most heinous censorship. Protect him, and his work, at all costs.

Pains me to say it but Logan Paul is an exceptional professional wrestler. Much as I wish I could time machine him to 1981 so he had to do this with Harley Race 330 nights a year.

Survivor Series is live right now. Logan Paul is out but no Roman Reigns yet.
What if Trump gave a war and nobody showed up?

Jimmy Uso rivalling Lash Legend and Nikki Bella for non reaction from crowd. Full on Jeff Jarrett in WCW effect. Man, that's harsh. I know. I did stand up once. I feel that.

So Punk/Cody at Mania? Was that a Mega Powers easter egg given its Survivor Series?

Separating art and artist in this WWE Survivor Series main event is gonna be tough. Do I cheer for Trump guy Roman Reigns, as Ukraine hangs on a thread in a very real conflict, or do I want Brock Lesnar, who engaged with actual sex trafficking to come up Trumps (pun intended)?!

Like if you get your jollies (and let's be blunt, your turn on) from torturing an animal to death in front of a blood thristy crowd you are a psychopath and no one should be documenting shit except hopefully your equally painful death one day.

Lax to criticise a film I have not seen and will not see, instead I want to point out that Cahiers du Cinema rating a "non judgemental" documentary on a bullfighter as one of the year's best makes me question who watches this shit. About as appealing as an ambivalent doc on Ian Watkins. Fuck off.

If it's true, if the US is willing to allow borders to be redrawn by force and let aggressors be rewarded, then the gates of hell are about to be opened.
This may prove to be the single most destabilizing and conflict-spawning decision of the 21st century.

On Truss & Kwarteng in ‘22. Allister Heath, Telegraph: “the best budget I have ever heard a British chancellor deliver". Alex Brummer, Mail: “a genuine Tory package elbowing to one side the Treasury's fiscal conservatism".
These men will now be paid actual money for their analysis of today’s budget.
