Boris Johnson has used his Daily Mail platform to slag off “Adolescence” and compare Starmer to Pol Pot.
This is a politician, a paper and a headline that sum up the debasement of our politics and the toxic level of ‘debate’ it encourages. Grotesque that he gets airtime to insult us all like this.

Simple and powerful little video
Ahead of Germany’s election, with anti-immigrant sentiment rising, they released viral videos showing life without immigrants.
History proves that when a country starts erasing certain people, it doesn’t end well.

In 1957 a 400ft hole was dug, to conduct a nuclear test, capped with a 5ft thick manhole cover.
The blast was 50,000x stronger than expected, launching the manhole cover at 13,000mph, 5x the speed required to leave earth's orbit.
It became (for the time) the fastest manmade object in space *
