That is very similar to the "not all men" argument. If you're a responsible landlord then fair play to you, and you have no need to worry about this, but sadly there are a large proportion of landlords who aren't responsible and have the power to destroy lives, and people need protecting from them.

This is absolutely mad. UK intelligence data held on fucking Azure and AWS? WTF! This country has lost nearly 2 decades to idiotic, ideological imbeciles. I really hope the current incarnation of what I have to describe as our "leadership" get a fucking grip (on this and so many other things).

Of all the mad shit the Trump cult have done, this is up there with the maddest and shittest. It's not even climate denialism or free market ideology, it's active (and expensive) vandalism of the environment. I'm a committed atheist but I'm starting to think the man is Satan himself.

Only if the recipient accepts the basis of objective facts. A lot of these people (hi, Dad!) live in an alternative reality, the only truth tellers are GB News, and all (literally ALL) of their problems are down to the "boat people". Depressing, but personally I think we have to write them off.

As my Dad, fully immersed in Dover Reformism, said to me when I tried this years ago "well, you can prove anything with facts". It's actually a genius argument. I certainly couldn't think of a comeback.

If any other president accepted a $400 million jet from a foreign government, made taxpayers spend hundreds of millions more to secure it, and then had it transferred to his own foundation after leaving office, it would be a full-blown national scandal. This is NOT NORMAL.

This was quite fun when it first started (2018 WC maybe?) as it was a genuine, almost involuntary reaction. It's just become performative now though. You look at the videos and people are throwing their pints 5 or 6 seconds after the goal. It's pathetic. And yes, I am a miserable old sod.

Absolutely awful what happened to her whatever you think of her politics. I wonder why they have specified the suspects race this early in the investigation though. And it's fucked up my bet that Farage would be politicising it by approximately 8am. I hate how we're automatically cynical now.

Simon has outdone himself with this one. Absolute madness built on a number of straw men, topped off with a rant about HS2. Wonderful stuff. If opinion pieces were an artform, he'd be flogging his fishbowls of nonsense to a credulous public for millions, rather than hawking it about in the Grauniad.

The Starmer Army are punting Darren Jones as PM on the basis he "has national rather than regional appeal and is a proven media performer." I consider myself politically engaged. I could not pick Darren Jones out of a line up if he'd taken a selfie while mugging me. What is wrong with these people?
