Lucky, lucky Liverpool.
And Kemi remembered how Jesus had said to her, “Before the rooster crows twice, you will deny you backed the war three times.”
And Kemi raged with anger both the rooster and Jesus.
"Your woke ideology meant you didn't understand that 'why aren't we at war?' was rhetorical," she shouted at a duck.
At the most basic level of 'have some self-respect', Conservative MPs should not put forward someone who visibly is not intellectually equipped to be prime minister as their candidate to be prime minister.
Do think comparing all this to Iraq does it a disservice. Where there was an obvious end goal had in mind, months of trying to make the case, and some kind of rationale that made sense on its own terms even if you thought it was completely wrong or grossly outweighed by risk.
They're not Terry's, they're mines.
A cat waiting for his order in Istanbul 😂
Having the Ig Nobels leave the US for safety reasons is a pretty on point example of the situation here apnews.com/article/ig-n...
You've got a void in that wall.
Just wonderful to see our two of our most credAble politicians bringing some "institutional credability" to bitcoin
To conjoin with another area of the day's discourse, this stuff is why I am extremely suspicious of anyone who says "I listen to podcasts on triple speed".
Not sure you'd fly in an orange plane if you call it Derry.
I think we've got to the right place on this: protecting individuals whilst maintaining freedom to criticise beliefs and ideas.
I fuckin absolutely love this modern age. Just giving us new content to hold the species on absolute contempt is given every single day
Day after Alex Pretti killing I complained to BBC about presentation of White House statements and evidence as equivalent. Duty of balance doesn’t extend to complicity with clear lies, I said. BBC could and should report WH making false statements as a *fact of the story*. Today I got response …
I think he's right about its effect on major parties and them needing to be more addressing of reality. Just can go overboard by saying is an equivalence between "claiming there's £150bn extra you can magically find" and "our proposed spending plans and policies don't match our stated ambitions".
...one lets people down and makes them upset with you because you can't keep promises - which is bad, of course. But the other makes Liz Truss look like Gordon Brown.
Would say though there are different levels though. E.g. Labour's last manifesto contained silly optimistic assumptions to the point of having a dishonesty that has bit them. But they were in the vague ballpark, not, 'here's 150 billion+ of spending/tax cuts our funding for is laughable'...
I mean a lot of it just comes back to wishful thinking and not being willing to accept that policies have consequences beyond the ones specifically intend so have to think about trade-offs, what those might be and why plenty will disagree beyond being "evil right-wingers" or "capitalist shills".
Little nugget at the end for the lawyer watchers
But it's sort of sunk in as "the bad thing that was fucking stupid"..."Brexit tackles"...etc. It's got a long cultural afterlife of broad negativity. FWIW I think it's going to be for the Tories sort of what the Winter of Discontent was for Labour as a reason not to be trusted.
To those who pay attention to such things this is grim as fuck, actually.
Yeah. I mean the Abingdon Reservoir was first suggested in 2006, and we know we need more reservoirs in the South East. It might finally be built by 2040 as the latest round of attempts to legally block it finally fell at the High Court.
Oh you sweet summer child. Can't wait for the howls of "betrayal" that are inevitable when you work out you've been defrauded. It would be almost be worth the disaster of a demonstrable grifter, last seen whinging because the Lib Dems chose a woman over him, being in charge of anything.
Quite easily if they're dedicated enough and have someone with expertise (and there are planning experts who offer this as a service)? You gum things up with endless objections on various grounds. Until developer/firm building infrastructure abandons or puts on ice as no longer worth it.
Never voted for a right-wing party in my life. But you do, you do moron.
...e.g. the very thing that has made Farage successful to date may be starting to hinder him as Reform are more scrutinised and plenty are minded to vote specifically against them as having more strident 'authentic' positions that appeal to c. 25% of voters but horrify everyone else.
Oh yes. Just I think Burnham is a great example as shows how the same person approaches different jobs in politics because the requirements/incentives are very different. Which also applies I think to upstart parties versus the big two/three. Though obviously all a bit in flux...
Thank you for announcing yourself as an idiot.
