'Interesting' to watch USA fall into chaos. Maybe it will spawn even more pointless miniseries on Netflix, Amazon and all those other platforms nobody has any time to watch.

I guess it could be worse. But let's not forget, Badenoch is set on removing all of our human rights, just like Reform, so if the alternative to group racism is treating the whole of humanity as equally unworthy of rights, then I'm not sure it's a big win.

Maybe if the British Museum, and all other UK "cultural institutions" actually advertised their senior jobs to try and attract people with legitimate claims to competency, rather than giving the jobs to senior Tories who have lost their seats, this might improve. I don't know?
