Gravity is negotiable, isn't it? If I don't believe in it, it doesn't apply to me. That's how it works.

And this is objectionable because you can't fix a poppy to a naked body (well, you probably can, but that's objectionable in other ways). And the wearing of poppies should be compulsory, because, otherwise, we can't have free speech. Err, where was I? (contd. on p. 94)

And it's not just the Tories; Reform is part of this, and there is no doubt in my mind that they are planning a complete takeover should they gain power. None of the protagonists appears to be directly linked to Reform but many are to GB News and/or the Telegraph or Mail who are.

Maybe I'm becoming paranoid, but I think this is about more: an attempt to abolish free media and introduce Hungary-style control. They are no longer content with pushing the Overton window to the right; it's not as if the BBC hasn't followed that already.

And the reason they woke up to it was that there was a connection, however spurious, with immigration. As if it mattered that a *foreign* criminal is on the run.

The integration of former Syrian refugees has actually been an overwhelming success: the vast majority are well-integrated and make important contributions. It's enriched the country, which is heavily dependent on immigration demographically, economically and culturally. But the bastards rule.

That extends to the 1970s in LA (judging from a half-remembered Columbo episode).

Precisely, choose your pet peeves wisely.

And, I'm guessing that Hannan regards regular mass killings - actual killings, not injuries, as in this case - in the USA as 'the price to pay for freedom'. Nor would he care if the perpetrator were white.
