He’s always been one of the least charismatic characters in a very competitive field of Tory ministers. No small feat.

I’d always found that quite interesting - all of the believers are born into the thing and they are like “phew, was I lucky to be born to xxx parents, otherwise I’d be going straight to hell without having a clue”.

Where I come from this is 1990’s type stuff. For us it’s very raw, very obviuos and very “omg they are just as stupid as us” type thing we’re observing.

This is obviously only the direct costs. People around the world who now can’t afford to buy food and as a result can’t feed their children don’t feature in annual reports. What’s a dollar value of a dead kid?

Why can’t we change every place name in the world to America? Mount America, The America River, America City, America Road, America Diner, Public Toilets America, America Cemetery, America Abattoir, America Desert, America Swamp, etc.

What? Has Keir Starmer been involved in torching cars and homes? Not really, they were torching his property. Is the phrasing deliberately misleading? You betcha.
News item from the Sun using deliberately misleading wording to implicate the UK PM in a crime.

Sadly, the British public is no smarter than any other. Easily swayed by demagoguery just like any other. My favourite thing to say to my English friends is “you’re just as stupid as us”, to which they first object, then look at the evidence all around us, and then start praying for different result

Where’s Farage? He’s not been seen in Parliament for weeks, doesn’t hold constituency surgeries, cancels big TV interviews last minute & hasn’t been campaigning in Makerfield. Oh look, there he is!! Popping up to spread more racism & use the tragic death of a young man to draw attention to himself.

The Sun knows all the leaisure boat people are indigenous. Because non-Brits would not ever step onto a dinghy again, presumably.
An article in the Sun newspaper showing several boats filled with people trying to cool themselves in the heat. The paper alleges they are all “Brits” as non-Brits only come in boats from France, and would thus presumably never be seen in one again.

“The Titanic: The designers of the Titanic made one big mistake. The “unsinkable” Titanic included a ballroom, but that ballroom was not attached to the East Wing of the White House. Instead, it was in a big boat in the middle of the ocean. That left it vulnerable. Ballrooms are the safest place in the world, but only if you know what you’re doing.”

Twice on Monday, Trump said he'd spoken to predecessors, who told him they regretted not attacking Iran in the reckless manner he has. Then "journalists" turned up and fact checked it by asking the four living former presidents if it was true. Guess what... it's not abcnews.com/US/wireStory...
