Another slowly switching over to here from "The Other Place". Still trying to figure out who's who, and build up a new account.
Here to vent fury and laugh at the hypocrisy of the far right grifters.
Yep - that's not an actual picture of me.

It should be easy to clamp down in the driving test one - we all have a unique number on our driving licence, so just make people input that when booking a test?

I remain convinced that the moment in the mid 1990's, when people suddenly realised their old Star Wars toys were worth loads of money, has inadvertantly lead us to this point where consumers buy any old crap with a pop-culture connection, in the hope it will become valuable in the future.

They're anthropomorphic animals, so I'd expect some similarities, but a lot of the animals look just a little bit too much like they've been ripped from other films....

Koalas from "Sing"

I was pretty surprised when I heard that this morning - refering to Madani as being on "the radical left" is just echoing the rhetoric of Trump.
Surely "in the interest of balance and impartiality" the BBC will now refer to Farage et al by their true description of being "far right"?

Would be interesting to know how his Legatum connections tie in to his lurch to the right.
According to his own bio, he became a "fellow" in around 2021. Was that due to the path he was already going down, or did the temptation of such a role and funding pull him further that way?

Ah yes - the halcyon days of football in the eighties.
A period that saw our "good natured, rough and tumble" result in English clubs being banned from taking part in European competitions.

It seems the contrasting colours is becoming the preferred option now - I guess it makes a person stand out more.
But the lack of hard hat or eye protection, and an ungloved hand (especially working with cementitious material) should be a warning and maybe a re-induction.

Yep.... So much more rewarding.
As you flick through the cookbook, you see some other recipes that you might like to try one day. You feel inspired to try something different. You discover new ingredients and new flavours. You learn and create for yourself. Your life is better without AI.

If your "concerns" are based on racist tropes, racist stereotypes, and misinformation, all fed to you by racists and bigots in racist social media posts and racist forums, then your concerns aren't "legitimate"....

When those "concerns" are based on racist tropes, spread by racists, in racist social media groups, then I'm afraid they aren't "legitimate" concerns...... They're racism.

Yep.... When they say they are "concerned about mass migration", what they really mean is "concerned about brown people on boats".
I'm so bored of these people clutching their pearls, feigning outrage and saying "legitimate concerns" when their bigotry is clear for all to see.

And the elements of the media that want THAT narrative will be more than happy to quickly drop any further reporting on the killers motives and affiliations, and let a different scandal takeover the headlines.
In a few months, the court case and verdict will be buried on page 23.....

It gave the impression that he happened to find success by styling himself as a right wing nationalist on his "America First" programme, and then just went with it.
Its the classic grifter move - play up a character, and let all your followers fund your lifestyle, and do the dirty work for you.

... odd about how he started his online career.
I think he had been trying to get a name as a gaming vlogger, but with no success. His parents said he had to go to college, but he persuaded them to let him have one more try, and if it didn't work out, he would enrol the following year.

There was a Louis Theroux programme where he did his thing with the US far right, and Fuentes was one of the people Theroux followed around.
I think at the time, Fuentes was just starting to break through and gain prominence amongst the far right.
It seemed to me that there was something...
