He's right, the problem is that conservatism has become less an intellectual ideology and more a tub-thumping incompatible with any sustained thought

Exactly, all Arday's death is the media's fault/unbridled racism pieces are doing nothing but proving that the next time a scandal rolls around, there's plenty to be made from exploiting it to the full

You just know she tried to slip in the title of her 'own book coming out later this year' into every paragraph, sure the eds would miss at least one

It's really much harder for Argentina to score if you don't just let them attack for forty five minutes

Prominent public figures when they die deserve to be remembered for what they said and did (like all of us, if we’re remembered at all), for how they used power and influence, how they behaved towards others. Surely that’s what they would have expected?

In which PolEx lawyers simultaneously lament the huge reparations orders international courts might impose and claim that the orders are unenforceable and not worth the paper they're written on

While I wouldn't go as far as to say he's been influenced by Sales, his more dogmatic attitude might have stiffened his natural instincts

It's just remarkable that of all the stupid things the government has focused on, you think Israel should be flagged

If they didn't promise daft things that would probably be a helpful start

For Fathers' Day, Keir Starmer posts a photo of his own father, who died in 2018, and a non-political message. The replies are a torrent of vitriol & cruelty, all with hundreds of Likes. We complain a lot about the quality of leadership, but there's a huge problem with the way we treat politicians
