Reform UK says it’ll ‘reset’ Britain inch by inch.
But to what?
Smog, slums and Section 28? Their nostalgic fantasy hides a dangerous truth.

Elon Musk is orchestrating a coup of the US government.
In the past 48 hours he’s gained access to a vast range of sensitive information of millions of citizens, businesses, and foreign development projects.
This is as serious as it gets, and it puts the entire world in danger.

I saw a good meme earlier along the lines of, if you're the kind of guy who believe tech bros like Musk have got your interests at heart, you're the same kind of guy who believes the stripper actually fancies you.

So, no jail time or fines in hush money trial then, apparently. If that self-worshipping arsehole fell in water he wouldn't get wet.

Out of all the myriad possibilities of all the hilariously disturbing things that could wake you up with a start in the morning, a dream featuring Liz 'Pork Markets' Truss caterwauling along to the first few bars of a karaoke version of "I Am The Walrus" takes some beating.

Seeing this again reminds me of my own somewhat elastic sense of time as well.
Also for instance:
1989 was 300 years ago,
and
1989 was a week last Tuesday.
