Trump's been using the USA as a fancy toilet his whole life.

Not sure whether Trump sees himself as Gatsby or Buchanan. If the former, it'd be nice to think he'd share the same fate.

Rather than doing that, why not use the time to find out more about anxiety?

Madness. I don't want to inhabit a bubble where I only see content I agree with.

I still associate election material prominently displaying the words "repatriation of migrants" with the National Front.

...which is why it's so unhelpful when the media harp on about 'tax burdens', 'tax grabs' or Chancellors 'raking in' money. Tax is the price you pay to live in a civilised country.

As a Londoner, I'm always slightly suspicious of articles claiming it's a lawless hellhole. Particularly those written by outsiders.

I actually live in London.

Good. More of this, please.

Perhaps wandering around, head in phone, isn't the best strategy.

A lot has happened this year but I feel like we should always remind people that this happened followed by him deciding to starve the poorest children in the world simply because he wanted to.

We probably shouldn’t forget about this

So now we are drowning in bullshit, 'leaders' terrified to acknowledge reality cos it would highlight how long and hard they have worked to banish it and deny it. A country that cannot acknowledge reality will go mad, and well...

Acknowledging reality is necessary in its own terms, because a society that cannot will go mad.

Regardless of our future relations with the EU and Europe, regardless of whether the EU will accept us, etc, we must acknowledge reality to avoid becoming lost in the swamp of bullshit forever.

Exactly & that is why we can't clean up British politics without media reform. Right now owners influence content which generates headlines that warp readers understanding of the world & the BBC etc then pick up as reflecting the nation's mood when it is no such thing.

To do so would be to presuppose that Reform voters can read.

The President of the United States is so upset about his failed campaign for a Nobel Prize that he's now trying to claim someone else's prize as his own.

Pathetic.
