His argument seems to be that you have to be a wrong’un and not very nice in order to get things done and ‘solve problems’. Often this is the self-serving philosophy of someone who just isn’t very nice.

A hugely underrated film that hardly anyone saw at the time. It's just landed on Netflix in the US so if you have a VPN, use it. Not to give anything away but its themes might hit a little harder ten years on. I hope it finds a new audience.
Anne Hathaway wants us to watch this underrated kaiju movie from 2017, and who are we to deny her?

Social media is awash with videos of men filming themselves approaching women in public spaces and attempting to flirt. In many cases, the videos are filmed and uploaded without the women’s consent. https://cnn.it/4qtIsvB

Sarwar, Starmer, Badenoch, so many politicians are caught in the old approach where you hint at something, it goes out to 80 per cent of people via a handful of TV channels, and then those same channels broadcast your 'secret' message in the discussion programme afterwards.

A lot of time and money over the last century has been invested in writing, printing and broadcasting words that barely mean anything, nothing but blurb, blah, waffle, noise. And now here we are, and here come the rats.

Same here, but I'll guess it's something like the Alabama Deferens beat the Oklahoma Helmets by 290 baskets to 14. The Pumpers scored a reverse osmosis in the 6th quarter but it wasn't enough to claim the helmet.

It's so weird that my feed is full of Super Bowl chuntering and not one person has mentioned what the score was. Still have no idea.
