At least I understand YourParty’s position: disarm and capitulate to Putin. It’s a disgrace but it’s simple. Polanski seems to be trying to build middle ground between that position and wanting to retain European independence from the hegemonic super powers. Dare I say it’s all very centrist of him.

Brianna Ghey was targeted by classmates who knew her offline. Online, she made friends and a community, and was making content to help other trans kids like her.

Was writing a little bit on Wilson in the 1945 General Election Campaign and got side-tracked with the posters.
Frankly it's almost hilarious to see how on-point Labour's messaging in comparison to the other Parties at the time.

I think the White House badly underestimates the strength of the pan-European folk memory of 1930s appeasement, and how deep it still cuts. I suppose this is what happens when you learn in school that WW2 started in 1941 in Hawaii.

These so-called "patriotic" 🇬🇧newspapers who brought you Brexit were never really patriotic at all.
They are driven by a disdain for Britain's European neighbours, and a fawning obsession with America.
They do not really want 🇬🇧 to be sovereign. They're content being a 🇺🇸vassal.

This gives the vibe from the pre-TERF era Rowling where she used to write things like "Well, Dumbledore wouldn't vote for Corbyn."
It was iconic, she should go back to it, I think it'd be better for everyone's mental health.

You say this like it's a joke, but White Nationalists quite literally went with the most obviously racist option of "White Pride" so I could see any of these happening.
Lowkey obsessed with the idea of a protest
Nonce Pride?
Paedo Pride?
Perv Pride?
Protect the Pervs?
Branding needs a bit of work

On @lbc.co.uk earlier to discuss the recent news that a Cambridge college is doing outreach to private schools to improve the "quality" of students.
I think it's an outdated understanding of student ability (not supported by evidence) and a waste of resource they should spent on access efforts.
