another interesting thing about James Orr and his ilk is that they're symptoms both of failures of the intellectual mainstream, and products of an asymetry where only the right gets to be pompous: www.thenewworld.co.uk/marie-le-con...

A persistent insanity in political punditry is the way the left get henpecked to death by the press over the "how" of their policies, whereas the right get to just blurt out a "why" and receive a free pass on the "how" if the "why" seems compelling enough to divorced dads without visitation rights.

In November 2022, Christopher Harborne (a.ka. Chakrit Sakunkrit) donated £1 million to "The Office of Boris Johnson Ltd", one of the biggest donations ever made to an individual British politician.
Boris Johnson awarded Harborne £80m MoD contract in January 2023.
Is there a name for this process?

Idi Amin deported 80,000 Asians from Uganda in 1972. So although the Conservatives want to propose the first mass deportation of legal migrants since Idi Amin - especially with the retrospective changes in ILR - Lam is proposing to deport 20 times as many people as Idi Amin.
