Cannot be emphasised enough that Trump II will plausibly cause the kind of death count we associate with the worst dictatorships of the last century. Unspeakably bad that he came to be president of the world's most powerful nation.

YouTube, TikTok and Meta have all turned down the trailer for the Oct. 9 doc, citing “political” content. X won't even take Bleecker Street's calls. The distributor is appealing.

Farage’s response to Burnham’s clampdown on Russian disinformation is so very, very telling. It’s virtually an admission of guilt. Given that Reform’s Welsh Leader is doing 10 years for taking Russian bribes & how much Farage has praised Putin, one can only guess at how deep the rot has gone.

There's much that can be criticised about Suella's mad position, but nobody who thinks this actually 'supports the England football team'.

It’s difficult to shake the notion that “letting racists cable-tie flags to lampposts to intimidate immigrants and leave them flying to avoid a backlash” has opened the floodgates to more alarming fascist thuggery. Someone needs to get a grip.

It seems like the police are assuming the far-right losers are 'looking for an excuse' to do more damage and so must be given maximum space. In fact, they are turning a big dial that says 'thuggery' on it and constantly looking over at the state for the slightest sign of consequences.

Lots of talk of growth ahead of the Budget, as if it were a baroque puzzle. Our problem is basic. It's that we no longer support the things which facilitate growth: Europe, immigration, higher education, tax simplification, policy stability. These are all choices and could stop making them anytime.

Just look at the glee on Nigel Farage’s face as he watches a Piddington resident cry about the overt racism she, her Caribbean heritage husband, and their two children have felt in the village during the referendum. Time and again he’s showing us exactly who he is.

My favourite fact about Iceland is that we have many, many crime writers but only one forensic pathologist, and he was so busy answering all of their questions that he decided to have a small seminar for writers to get some peace. It immediately sold out so he had another one that also sold out.

I just think that risking your life at a moment's notice to save people you've never met in exchange for no money is a better expression of patriotism than dressing up like a Poundshop paramilitary and intimidating families with kids trying to get onto a ferry.

If the argument is that Israel's global reputation is directly correlated to the safety of the Jewish diaspora then surely no one has a bigger responsibility to safeguard that reputation than Israel's Prime Minister. ... and he doesn't appear to give a shit.

Also, while I think everyone has a responsibiltiy to combat antisemitism and violent extremism, it seems dubious that Netenyahu can do and say whatever he wants - no matter how incendiary - but other governments can't criticize his actions for fear of endangering their Jewish communities.

Professional wordsmiths at the BBC are mixing up their modal auxiliary verbs, accidentally positioning Reform as a government in waiting. The use of 'will' signals the future tense carrying implied certainty, rather than the hypothetical scenario suggested by 'would.' www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Reform says it will prioritise British-born young workers for social housing
Labour called the plan "unserious and unworkable" and accused Reform of pushing "gimmicks and division".

Re: That Toby Young “Why are the British sprinters black?” nonsense. There are few things more joyous than watching GB men and women storm to relay glory. Grubby little white supremacists like Young and his ilk seem to have no capacity for joy. Their racism ruins joy for them. It’s so pathetic.
