In view of the USA's treachery, there would never have been a more important time for the UK to have been an integral part of a united Europe. I fucking despise the British fuckers who colluded with the Russian and American fuckers to disunite us. Boris Johnson and his friends should burn in Hell.

It's uncanny hearing John Sweeney say that Clactonites believe (of politicians) that "they're all as bad as each other".
It's a phrase that people I know have used (verbatim) since 2016 when referring to UK politics.
It's almost as if some people wanted others in Western democracies to believe it.

I'm an advocate for Scottish Independence so it's poignant that Austrian school text books cited Ukraine in the context of Scotland.
I've encountered justification for Russia's invasion from both the 'Never Surrender' & the 'Wings over Scotland' crowd. It's a surreal epistemological paradox 😞

Wherever we looked for the prominent flaggers and leaders of this movement, we found people smugglers and sex doll salesmen, people with dubious criminal pasts and people willing to put in a good word for Adolf Hitler.
