"Is Britain about to blow?" asks Matt Goodwin promoted a two hour special event on the subject.
Their greasy desperation for violence and carnage, so they can profit off it, is so disgusting.

English devolution is a great idea in principle, until you remember that every town has a 500 year long grudge with the next town over.

I do suspect that part of the government's motivation for keeping the secret Afghan resettlement scheme under wraps was to keep immigration lawyers well away from it all, so that poor decisions could go unchallenged

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

What I understand about Brexit is that everything we had as our opt outs are what people wanted and we voted to bin them, then everything we had they wanted us to negotiate having which was never going to happen. The only consistent thing is what we had is what people have always wanted all along

People who were OUTRAGED by the sentence which Lucy Connolly received, are DEMANDING that Bob Vylan and the BBC are treated far more harshly.
Yet another one to add to the free speech hypocrisy/incoherence library.

This is everywhere.
Every academic institution I know is held together by some exhausted woman in her early 40's who waits until the old white male professors have finished their vague rants and says, "alright, so concretely can I propose the following next steps..."
She makes half their salary.

A friend is getting involved in politics for the 1st time. Went to local mtg where guys in charge said: we want to have a concert in 6wks. She asked ?s They had no venue, no bands, etc. She made a PowerPoint on tasks needed & a realistic timeline. Them: You're too corporate, not progressive enough.

Just realized that there are a LOT of MAGA losers who vastly overextended themselves to buy $100K Cybertrucks to show support for Trump, who are now stuck with rapidly-disintegrating hideous clumps of steel that are actively trying to kill them, which they’ll be paying off until 2032.
Happy Friday!
