My "I am not complicit" statement has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my statement.
A screen grap of an article in the independent with a headline reading "Ed Sheeran breaks silence on Macklemore tour drama: 'I am not complicit'.

It also has a picture of him looking a absolute mess, as per, with his arm around Macklemore.

This man appears to believe that the Crusades were against the Ottomans. He also appears to believe the early modern period is the medieval period.
Some idiot writing '"echoing the myth of warrior monks who went to battle for a Europe supposedly under attack by Islam'... Even the siege of Vienna and Malta are just right wind conspiracy theories to the FT.'

Besides which, that position is quite literally in the opening of the article. They expand on that later in the article saying "The basic thing is that these shocking schemes are [proposed by] foreign investors looking to make a profit out of our ridiculous energy prices". It's pretty clear.
A snip from the article which reads,'"Industrial scale" solar farms planned by foreign-owned firms have been attacked by the leader of the Green Party on a county council.

Catherine Rowett, from Norfolk County Council, said overseas investors were aiming to make huge profits and called for solar projects to be locally owned.'

This is incredibly funny to try because even if it *was* true, then it would mean Streeting was defending Mandleson in September for the love of the game.

Not gonna lie - cos playing as Guy Fawkes while being the sort of American who is totally unaware of UK politics or the fact the the rest of the world exists is actually a very good bit. And yet.

A close up of the leopard dog or whatever. It has a look on it's face that indicates that it is tiref of this bullshit. It does have one blue eye and one brown one though, which is super cute. Free the dog.

Out: Children's books by the sex pest who we have decided to Suddenly Notice.™️ In: The very good book for young people about consent which will help stuff like this never happen again.
A screen shot of a BBC news article which reads:
Best-selling children's author and comedian David Walliams has been dropped by his publisher HarperCollins, the company has said.

A spokesman for the publisher said: "After careful consideration, and under the leadership of its new CEO, HarperCollins UK has decided not to publish any new titles by David Walliams."
The Telegraph reported that the decision was made after an investigation into allegations of inappropriate behaviour towards young women.

Really makes you think.
A screen shot of three tweets from Polly Mackenzie from 2018 they read:
It is now so cool to ban plastic. It's the government's go-to policy to move on from a bad story. Worth reflecting on how far we've come in th last four years.
Four years ago lib dem ministers started agitating for a 5p charge on plastic bags. It took us months to persuade Cameron and Osborne.
We finally got the policy in an eve-of-conference trade, in return for tightening benefit sanctions.

Mom come pick me up, the yanks are trying to talk about UK politics again.
A screen shot of three skeets.
The first starts out reasonably and reads: Yeah. Seriously. Labour gets in, and immediately are afraid to be Labour.
Then an unhinged reply: they showed their colors back when they were afraid to oppose brexit
The first person replies: Yeah. The wishy washy shot is just... They are a party never led by a woman, and it shows.
