Obverse know their stuff here as they also produce modern incarnations of the same thing - I enjoy their Faction Paradox material.

Sky News on Renee Nicole Good murder: "There are deeply conflicting accounts of what happened."
REALLY? Gonna both-sides this? One "account" can be seen on video and is confirmed by a dozen eye-witnesses. The other is a social media post by history's most notorious pathological liar.

Saying "Some TERFs made their own awards called "TERFies" & voted Donald Trump "Best Politician (Non-UK)"" would get you accused by "Reasonable Moderates" of making up stuff to smear their side but they actually did it.

We'll still ship books after that if you order them, but the Royal Mail do not think they'll get to you in time for Christmas Day.

Racists dislike being called racist so much, they will try to silence the people calling them - completely accurately - racists.
Which does at least suggest that Farage and the other racist leaders of the racist Reform Ltd understand that most British people are not, in fact, racists themselves.

"We grant people different rights based on their genetic heritage and on which scrap of land they happened to be born on. That’s mad, isn’t it?"
I just think, when debating immigration and so on, that we should try not to lose sight of the fact that "nationality" is a made up thing.

Why does nationality matter, anyway?

Nothing as feminist as basing whether women can use the toilets on if they're hot or not.
The EHRC want to exclude women from femal single-sex spaces based on how "female" they look.
This is off the scale sexism and misogyny.
Millions of women will face harassment as result of this insanity.

I see otherwise sensible people getting lost in the conspiracyballs with Epstein. The ruling class are not chessmasters or Eyes Wide Shut style decadent cultists. They're shambolic, grubby, foolish people, blinded by greed, privilege, and hubris. Same with states and intelligence services.
