The crazy-making thing about all of this is that there is no need for it, no demand for it, no consent from the civilian populations and, no practical use whatsoever. These people just love war!

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

As someone who used to get South West Trains to school for years, and then (after it was renamed) get South Western Railway to work for years, I cannot tell you how happy I am to dance on its useless grave now that it’s nationalised. My least favourite company ever. May they cancel trains in hell
