When you toss something in the trash and then you remember you just emptied the trash but forgot to put a new trash bag in and you realize you have to reach into the smelly trashcan and pull out the piece of trash just to throw it away again is how I feel anytime I read news about the government.

#TheYearInReform Look, it's very simple. Nothing to see here. Move along. Reform UK is a party - sorry - a company built around British Patriotism and being frank with the public, and it is led by straight-talking anti-elite Nigel Farage.

For nearly 18 months, the Trump administration and many analysts have thought of the US, Russia, and China as great powers deciding the fate of the world, unconstrained by lesser states. Today, the US is the losing party in a Versailles peace agreement and Moscow looks like this:

BREAKING: Indigenous white people commit riot and arson. Incompetent indigenous white police fire water cannon. Indigenous white politicians who fucked up our economy discuss "legitimate concerns" in lying newspapers owned by indigenous white tax evaders. Immigrants somehow remain the problem.

Lebanon is 33% Christian. Israel is illegally invading Lebanon & bombing Christian villages. Moreover, Israel has warned Lebanese Christians & Druze to forbid any Muslim from hiding in their homes & Israeli troops are now hunting for Muslims hiding in attics of Christians. These Are War Crimes.

Here’s a short poem about the power of poetry to change the world.
The Power of Poetry
 
with things falling apart
and anarchy let loose,
 
it was only poetry, he found,
which had any use,
 
so he reached for his copy  
of The Complete Works of Yeats
 
and bludgeoned the President
of the United States

I am getting seriously fucking annoyed with all this wall-to-wall Reform shit on the media now.
My email to Sky:
Dear Sir or Madam,

Perhaps you could explain something to me as a humble viewer without the deep and extensive experience of politics in your organisation.

The recent by-election in Caerphilly delivered a seat held by Labour since - well, forever - into the hands of one Lindsay Whittle of Plaid Cymru. A substantial news story.

I watched it live and saw Mr Whittle, MS, interviewed by the BBC. There was a scramble to interview the candidate. Not Mr Whittle, but the candidate for the Reform Party which came a passably distant second. No one seemed much interested in the winner.

Odd, but never mind. You're all professionals, I'm sure you know which way is up.

Sky News has a flagship news programme on a Sunday morning hosted by Trevor Phillips, and surely, with this being a huge news story, it would feature substantially in the programme.

And so it has. And so you have an interview.

And the person you ask about it is Zia Yusuf.

Of the Reform Party.

On the understanding I'm just a not very bright member of your audience, can you please explain to me how that makes any sense at all? I'm trying my best to understand it, but I'm really stuck here.

Looking forward to my political education from the experts,

Pete Marchetto

There is a moment at this time of year when the word ‘apricity’ really comes into view. For those who don’t know it, it was recorded only once, in 1623, before slipping out of view. Apricity is the warmth of the sun on a chilly day.

i do wonder at what point this ratcheting of rhetoric about the democratic party ends up having real life effects
The Democrat Party at every level — judges, politicians, academics, nonprofits — is organized around the defense and protection of the criminal, the monstrous and the depraved. The more vile the threat, the more vociferously the Democrat Party works to protect and enable it.

Farage is whipping up anger against the ECHR with false claims. As The Bear brilliantly writes: “The ECHR [is] the foundation that protects you from your own government.” That's why leaving the ECHR would be a Really Bad Idea.

Leaving the ECHR won’t “Take Back Control” – it will hand your rights to politicians
The myths are seductive, the reality is very different – without the ECHR your freedoms rest on whichever Home Secretary wakes up grumpy
