All utilities should be nationalised & sold at non-profit rates to all. That should include broadband, basic foodstuffs & basic housing as well. This is the infrastructure of a decent, modern life & it shouldnt be controversial.
Good luck getting that working or getting anyone to vote for it, mind.

"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

Setting aside the nuances of what acceptable self-defense is, there is no room in an ethically sound justice system for locking people into cages.

I’ve written to Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage urging them to condemn Donald Trump’s attack on the BBC.
The BBC belongs to Britain, not Trump. We must defend it together.

I do like how, in the bit of Prescott's memo where he criticises the BBC for editing together different parts of Trump's speech, his own quote of "what Trump actually said" is... edited together from different parts of his speech.

Fold the league immediately. A bust.
Bills QB Josh Allen and WR Elijah Moore were each fined for this celebration after Allen's touchdown vs. the Chiefs. Allen was fined $14,491 and Moore was fined $13,888 for unsportsmanlike conduct (violent gesture)

It’s fascinating comparing the front page coverage of the Huntingdon train attack (below) with how the British press treated another case 30 years ago.
I’m referring to the 1995 Netto supermarket attack in Birmingham in which a man stabbed 10 people, killing one of them.
