So why isn't the obvious fact that she's lazy and stupid and hasn't the self awareness to know it obvious to the remnants of her party or the political editors of many news orgs and newspapers?

Monica Coglan was cross-examined for 13 hours by Archer’s lawyers in the libel trial. She was frequently in tears as her entire life and character was attacked. She died in a car crash before Archer was found guilty of perjury in that trial. Before it was found she’d told the truth all along.

Hear hear. If you want to see what passes for humour on the far right, remember Trump parodying someone w. cerebral palsy, and his supporters guffawing with him. The rest of us have humour. The far right has cruelty. Think Romans laughing at gladiators butchering prisoners in the arena.

Been harping on about that for ages (can’t find my old posts of course) but Putins schemes are on a razors edge now. For him the question is, can he destroy NATO and turn the U.S. quicker than he loses in Ukraine. The coming midterms to him are just as crucial as the frontline in Ukraine.

Key point: The news is not Putin trying to subvert “the West”: Brexit, AfD, Le Pen, Orban, everything remotely right wing he supported. The news is that the U.S. have turned. There is no “West” anymore. There is a fragile island of liberal democracies in Europe encircled by autocracies.
While I saw some real weaknesses in Biden's policy towards Ukraine (and still do), he remained absolutely committed to the Atlantic alliance.

For a long time I have heard rumours of secret plans hatched in Moscow by Isabel Oakeshott and Michael Ashcroft to discredit David Cameron ahead of the EU Referendum and I've always believed them.

For a long time I have heard rumours of secret flights into Manchester: plane loads of migrants. I have never believed it and still don't. If true, it should bring down the government.

Isabel Oakeshott runs squealing from David Cameron #piggate claims

Call Me Dave co-author admits source of pig anecdote 'could have been slightly deranged' and says different standards apply in books and newspapers

Fri 9 Oct 2015 16.03 BST

The hinges are coming off piggate.

Isabel Oakeshott, former political editor at the Sunday Times and co-author of Call Me Dave, the unauthorised biography of David Cameron that set social media ablaze with its tales of prime ministerial porcine passion, has further distanced herself from one of her book's most oinked-about passages.
