Imagine if you knew someone who hoarded billions of mustard packets. More than generations of their family could ever use. You’d reasonably assume they’re mentally ill. And that would be a reasonable assumption for hoarding basically anything, but when it comes to money, people see it as admirable??

i don’t think there’s a much beef between argentina and england as the media are making out; none of these players were even alive when the drug-addict maradona cheated in a quarter final, let alone when argentina’s fascist junta failed with their illegal invasion of british sovereign territory

Nothing says 'man of the people' quite like a politician calling a by-election at public expense on the issue of whether or not he should have the right to secretly take donations from Thai-based crypto billionaires and a convicted fraudster

Many women have been horrifically killed here in the past 5 years, including at least 7 who were stabbed multiple times, and their deaths did not receive statements from the PM, debates in the commons, or global news coverage. Nor were there any riots, or condemnations of cultures by politicians.

A picture of violence: The 30 women killed in more than four years
In at least 21 of the 30 deaths, the killers - or the suspects in their killings - were well-known to the women.

you know the way "why did the Roman Empire fall" and "what are the causes of the First World War" are big questions that sort of function like Rorsharch tests, allowing people to debate ultimately inexplicable moments in history? "Why did no one stop Trump" a decent future shout for the third.

Have been thinking about “immigration has been tearing this country apart.” Surely I’m not the only person to think that it isn’t true, but inflamed rhetoric about immigration by politicians is what is tearing this country apart and so statements like that only makes it worse.

Not the first to make this point. But there is a tyrant in charge of another country who is accused of being heavily linked to a paedophile sex ring - and supposed ‘patriots’ in this country are passionately willing him to take down our national broadcaster. Madness.

Fascinating data. There are three things here that really matter to people, and they think matter to everyone: Healthcare Economy Prices There is ONE thing that they assume matters to everyone, because it dominates so much of the narrative, but it is NOT affecting them personally: Immigration

This little parable is a nice illustration of why it is important for mainstream parties to set and uphold clear, bright line anti-prejudice norms, and of why the failure of senior Conservatives to do so risks doing great harm to their party

This is really important I think. Since I stopped looking at X I wouldn’t have had a clue about Musk pinning ‘free Tommy’ or any such nonsense. But tonight the main BBC news told me, and the whole of the UK, about it. How many people thought ‘if the really rich bloke who owns Tesla thinks that…’

I have never seen a Rovers team so utterly incapable of mounting an attack. It is absolutely abysmal. The longer that went on the worse it got. The energy levels dropped, the belief drained, we got utterly passive. The players clearly have absolutely no idea what they are supposed to do.

Glass half full version: Possibly good news. The stadium and training ground need money pumping in. If wael owned 40% one would assume that an injection from equity holders would need him to stump up 40% of the investment. It’s entirely credible he couldn’t do that. 1/2
