That's the problem isn't it. When a governement proposes something the Nazis did - even if it's not the worst thing the Nazis did - the optics are terrible. Obviously nobody was prosecuted at Nuremburg for jewellery theft, but like using language that echos Enoch Powell, why risk those comparrisons?

He's still around and playing.

I've never heard anyone else mention this album, but it's really good. She Wants So Many Things is one of the best Dylan songs that isn't by Dylan.

He's 8th in line - and The King and William never fly on the same plane just in case. I think they've decided it's not worth creating new laws to change the succession when Andrew has no chance of becoming King unless there is the world's most unlikely sequence of 7 freak accidents.

How could the Royal family possibly have predicted this 30+ years ago when his nicknames were Randy Andy and the Playboy Prince?

Ann Summers are missing a trick if they don't start marketing sex toys as 'vagina-compatible bullets'.

Oh wow. We haven't changed a bit!

Yes, random reference, but I couldn't think of anything more famous that happened in 1946. One year earlier and it would have been easy.

Bloody hell. So that was closer to the start of the Nuremberg trials than to today.

The positive is Reform were favourites to win, but there was a bigger turnout than the GE because of the tactical vote against them. It would be a lot easier to have a nationwide tactical vote agaist Reform if Labour gave progressives something they could vote for, though.

He continues to claim he has done nothing wrong. Whether he genuinely believes it may be a different matter.

Nowadays you'd have to pay £30 for Nigel Farage to do it on Cameo.

... while Elon Musk is playing it.

I think we all decided that fewer people would have heard of Queen Luisa de Guzman of Portugal. Happy 412th to her, though.

Happy 488th birthday to Lady Jane Grey, though. That's a lot of candles to blow out, even if your head hasn't been chopped off.

Glad to hear that she got back from Riyadh safely.

As someone who has been very unimpressed with him, I thought it was a good speech. Better than I expected him to be on standing up for immigrants and against racism. Makes me more likley to give him the benefit of the doubt for now. And he did 'toolmaker' for the fans.

I didn't even buy a ticket and I still ended up 10p better off than you. #cisprivilege

Oh bloody hell, they are calling it a Brit Card!

Me too. It seems like one of those things they only have in America like grits, corndogs and Christian fundamentalism.
