Hey let’s stop the rise of the far right by removing all the barriers that might actually stop them and pretending it’s fine and normal to try to limit protections on things like torture. I mean, what functioning democracy can really say they haven’t needed to do a little torture now and then.
That's right! We should destroy human rights so that Keir Starmer can win* the next general election!
*Make it even more likely he'll lose by mainstreaming the far right politics he pretends to oppose

Greatest plot twist since Sixth Sense.
Watching Labour continuously try to out nasty Farage is like being back at school and watching kids try to out nasty the school bully against the “weaker” kids to fit in.
Eventually the “weaker” ones you’re picking on will snap and punch your lights out, while the big bully laughs.

surprised it took this long for a publisher to try this with a 'real' series. next we'll see a series with an AI-created original Japanese dub.

ok maybe you WOULD believe it ☹️

The fact that this could apply equally to all but one of industries I’ve worked in is super depressing.
It’s so cool to have hitched your wagon 20 years ago to an industry that was booming beyond anyone’s expectations and have it turn out to be stripmined and utterly hollowed out by Shareholder Value, and every other industry you could slot into has been, surprise, hollowed out by Shareholder Value
