Scottish, I believe in the power and inherent goodness of a society, not quite a socialist but a societalist. I am not a great fan of the political approach of conservatives, Scottish independence supporter.

I understand that this is upside down as the UK bestrode the world and imposed our economic system on the world, which is undoubtedly a good thing, but we were probably considered malignant by the countries we imposed our system on.

It’s not the object, it’s the leverage, or perceived leverage. The Chinese are a neutral state actor (generous), slightly less than malignant if we’re being more honest. Which follows the same pattern as the Russian’s, get them hooked and then set out to maximise your own geopolitical interests.

Don’t you think there are parallels with the Russian’s selling gas into Europe, they got the European’s hooked and with this perceived leverage they set about undermining the institutions and setting out to conquer former Soviet republics?

I think a really interesting add on to your question is, how much of the demand side is algorithmically driven? We have people who get 💯 of their news from social media, but big tech regulation is nonexistent.

Three public schoolboy arseholes on a jape. Why anyone takes these morons seriously is beyond me. They contribute fuck all and believe that doing fuck all for a living is worth a wage. Not an hour of real work between them, the idle, entitled cunts.

It’s troubling how these types of articles both-sides everything. Why isn’t it just the case that the old centre right from the postwar period has destroyed itself, but the left always has to commit the original sin, in this case saying Churchill was a “complicated character”

Trump is a buffoon but he is supremely well briefed and he has particularly loose lips I think he probably wasn’t bullshitting in this instance. Our intelligence services are excellent at what they do, but they definitely don’t want the public to know and understand how they monitor us.

GCHQ and the NSA monitor everything. They’re monitoring this. This isn’t conspiracy it’s fact, there’s a myriad of books on the subject. Wes Streeting comments were along the lines of “thank you farmer but you don’t know the half”.

San Frans Opera demanded a 5-year wage freeze for its musicians while the General Director's salary jumped from $424k to $729k. 30 minutes before opening night, the orchestra packed up and walked out to join the picket line for the first strike in the opera’s 100 year history.

Michael Marra got more votes in Dundee City West in May, while losing to the SNP by 2:1, than he got across the country to be Scottish Labour leader. His SNP opponent got more votes than there are Scottish Labour members total.

Today? Oh, today is the 54th anniversary of French hypermarket Carrefour opening its first store on UK soil in Caerphilly. Obviously. Not all that remarkable in itself, perhaps, but its 6th birthday was one to remember, what with the 40ft, three-ton animatronic gorilla being there...
A large flat 1970s building, unremarkable and beige. Oh, in front of it, there’s a 40ft black gorilla with a huge, toothy mouth, open in a roar. One of its arms is raised to its hip, the other held out in front of it. There is someone sitting in the left hand, with their back to us
