I’ll keep saying it … the old are far more vulnerable to social media lies and conspiracies than the young. They also have a lot more time in which to be brainwashed.

Taking a trip to Italy and we've decided not to hire a car as unfortunately in my experience cat hire companies are all scams. Every time I've hired they try to get out of giving you an actual car. I don't know why they're not banned or properly regulated.

Everyone already knew James Johnson was dodgy, right? I mean his analysis has always been poor and biased. Worth contrasting him with Luke Tryl, one of the very best political analysts. World of difference.

Astonishingly patronising little lecture. You people really think the world revolves around you, don't you? While being unbelievably tone deaf. Amazing (not in a good way). Obviously I'm going to mute you.

She also seems to imagine people have forgotten the 14 years of catastrophic government by the Conservatives? (Although to be fair, the press HAVE memory holed that period of time 😬)

I was abused by my father in ways you cannot imagine, and begged my mother to leave. Do you know what it's like to be locked in a room for 3 days at the age of 6, with the only interruptions being your father coming to beat you up every two hours?

No no no, that's an awful idea. Kids need a lot of care and attention and a single person working doesn't have the time you'd ideally want. The anti-man nonsense is also deeply corrosive to society.

Can anyone explain why all these academics have come out in support of a guy who is clearly neo-nazi? What does it achieve for them? Makes em look stupid and a bit racist. So why on earth do it? Half of them aren't even smart enough to understand why he has been suspended!! 🤷

I think he's just evidence that all Americans are Maga deep down. Their empire is collapsing and he's taking it very badly. But he's meant to be one of the smart ones and he thinks we go out in the fields to pick potatoes when we need them. Fucking idiot. Unwatchable now 🤷

I used to love watching Bill Maher, but he's gone a bit mad now. The other week he said "Mamdani is a Marxist" (yeah Bill, there are no private businesses in New York now, it's true! 🤣🤣) and this week he said "all the Europeans were amazed at our supermarkets during the world cup!" 🤣🤣

It's me, a Telegraph columnist, taking a break screaming bloody murder about fairness in the women's sports I wouldn't be caught dead watching to wax lyrical about academic integrity in sociology, a field I consider to be fake, at institutions I consider to be communist indoctrination centers.

Cambridge's failings in terms of recruitment and oversight, which turned an internal HR mess into a widely reported and then politically instrumentalised issue, will need substantial internal investigation. But so much Anglosphere Right wing discourse in these cases comes down to projection

It was quite telling how at a time when an authoritarian American President and a reactionary American tech oligarch clearly left the bounds of sanity so much of the Anglosphere Right became obsessed with the frailties and blunders of a relatively obscure black British professor
