Here on earth to fart around
It's not that bad. When they cut our sheep netting they sent someone round to apologise afterwards claiming it was accidental.

Europe unrecognisable in 20 years or less ...
or
a lot of change happens in 20 years and it always has

But I think they want us to be frightened of The Muslims taking over

It probably says more about the current US conspiracy cesspit but to some Americans the possibility that Trump is behind this is thinkable

As an atheist descendant of Normans I am also excluded. I am pasty though, so they'll probably let it go

If you plotted the frequency Noah uses phrases like "lefty" (to describe things he disapproves of) over time you would gain an insight into the social media he is consuming.

The benefit is to the taxi drivers rather than their passengers. The losers are tax payers, I think you've identified the guilty already

I like that they are still your friends. Mine are too.

It's our age.
There was a line from Trainspotting about how you don't chose your friends ... you're just kinda stuck with them
For me it's an insight into the frightening reach of MAGA tactics in England but that's because I prefer to think of my friends as 'manipulated' than 'evil'

My friends are terrible too

I got AI to write a legal sounding letter suitable to bluff someone. Law professionals do this but I'm sure it's not their proudest achievement.
I also use AI to write bits of software, that way I can concentrate on my Big Vision without getting bogged down in minutiae.
Just like lawyers and medics

Everyone knows All White Men are not the same so the policy would be pointless.

For instance I cut out gluten and my hearing improved.
I have also tried many things that didn't work, there's not a universal answer

There are ways to get your brain to Stop It.
I'm sure you know the kind of thing.
I hope you find one that works for you.

At my kids primary school the teacher sing and play Another Brick in the Wall.

We got a severe telling off for singing it on a school trip in 1980

Dislike of Jews is something being suppressed out of convenience by the far right. It never went away.

Love of football has nothing to do with skin colour.
But is is clearly anti American

Seems love of football (a.k.a. soccer) would be an simple way to distinguish illegals from proper Americans

Diversity policy (DEI in USA) is perceived as quotas for hiring that ends up excluding hetero white males.

Where I work the reality is: discouraging practises that are uncomfortable for the under represented.

Like sexual advances on female colleagues.

Easy stuff.

Cycling Proficiency still exists in schools and is now called Bikeability.
Optional (as it was in the 1970s).
Stickers and badge: not as cool.

This also applies to a significant proportion of motorists who have presumably passed a driving test, suggesting a test is not going to fix the problem.

Obviously it's nice that a business associated with Muck is struggling but I'm pretty certain he's moved on to the next stage of his world domination plan. Calling out the ongoing coup should be the priority.

I told Mrs Smith I got it because l I used to read a lot of jazz mags.

(ICYDK it's British poetry for porn)

It should be remembered that Johnson wasn't bought down by partygate.
It was because his closest colleagues found him to be insufferable and used partygate as an excuse.
