The guy shot two random people with a gun, I don't think you can say he wasn't assimilating into our culture
Stephen Miller is now arguing that assimilation is fundamentally impossible and that certain cultures are not compatible with Western civilization

If a drug was having this societal effect it would be banned within a week. Across the world, politicians are - through their inaction - completely abdicating their responsibilities to civil democratic discourse.

once more I am begging everyone to do policy based on evidence, not on vibes from the loudest-shouting pressure groups. What the NHS is leaning towards - targeted screening for those most at risk - is the right way to do this. Blanket screening with an unreliable test causes harm.

Remarkable how the gambling industry and its allied MPs always yell that if you tax gambling you’re out of touch with the ordinary, salt-of-the-earth working class chap who loves a flutter.
Actual ordinary, salt-of-the-earth working class chap: Tax it! Tax it more! Keep on taxing it, you bastards!

Fascinating that the cash ISA limit is the most unpopular item in the budget. I would have thought it would be unpopular but not more so than e.g. freezing tax thresholds.

It's such a bizarre framing. Labour MPs think taking 450k kids out of poverty is putting the country first! That's why they wanted it to happen! It's not because they personally benefit.
Headline on The World at One just now:
"Sir Keir Starmer has denied putting the Labour Party before the country by ending the two-child benefit cap".
Can we please go back to reporting the actual news, not someone's partisan take on it?

I am a little tired of being yelled at for this but apparently not tired about: heroin addiction is not RFK’s problem. He’s a sociopath. Most addicts aren’t. Honestly, walk into an NA meeting, grab the first person with a few years to be head of HHS and they’d probably do a better job than Bobby.
This is what happens when you put a privileged, 14 year heroin addict in charge of health. Duh

If I’m buying potatoes here in rural Ireland, I get to choose not just variety, but also who grew them - the local farm or the family business my friend married into from about 10 miles away. (Usually I choose Ivanoff’s Maris Pipers, but Kennedys also have a fine range).

Quick analysis of The Times today:
Wall to wall negative coverage of Labour’s budget. An editorial that tuts about lack of growth but takes no responsibility. And a double page ad to join Farage/Reform.
Absolutely no analysis on how rightwing ideology - including Brexit - has been utterly ruinous.

This is the thing: in a climate-catastrophic world, nowhere will be permanently safe. Nowhere. We will have to move and move and move. So all of the posturing of various nations about keeping immigrants out is just rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.

Suspect a weird side effect of this policy is a lot of people who’ve imagined house price growth to be continuing at 2000s era rates will discover to their shock and dismay that it hasn’t been, and their home hasn’t gone up in value like they thought.
