Out of the tens of thousands of words in the English language, I’m pretty certain that you could substitute the “Canadians” in that sentence for almost any of them.

The degradation of British politics has either made Suella Braverman – a former *attorney general* – this stupid and irresponsible, or else entirely indifferent to appearing as such to those who know the law if it gets her applause from her online fan base.

Ed Sheeran PERFORMED AT ROBERT KRAFT’S WEDDING. He was not put in an “impossible situation.” His hands were not tied. He tried to use his openers and band as a PR shield to both-sides genocide and they dropped out because they’d rather give up the money and exposure than be complicit.

Not only did I meet Robert Kraft, I worked for him. His kid Jonathan asked me to “remove the black music” from my gameday playlist in ‘94 & I refused so they fired me. I was the cheerleader director at the time.  I sued them for wrongful termination and won. So yes, I know that motherfucker.
