And we wonder why so much has gone wrong since the late 2000s

"Reward" is the key. People sometimes say to me in regard of some specific individuals "you see if they say it it can't be racist". Well, there's a lot of money in it, and for the ambitious it's the more assured path to take.

🚨Christian children were told they'd "be Muslim by year 6"!🚨

😱Sounds outrageous?

You know the drill…

If it sounds outrageous and designed to trigger you into being angry with “other” people, then you need to do some 🪏

I often focus on the Tom Harwood roaring twenties tweet too.The thing with Johnson is he was a lazy shambolic character and it could always go wrong ( Tory MPs knew this) . Similarly so much of the current situation is based on one man, "Nige" and therefore inherently has a potential for fragility.

He'd make a pact with Jeremy Corbyn if it got him into power.

In my view the only way back in is incremental in various senses in the same way the out campaign gradually trashed the EU leading ultimately to the referendum. It could take a scarily long time for the EU to be convinced we're worth the bloody hassle for one.

I totally get where you're coming from but I think "simple" is pushing it

I have been known to see somebody on the street I don't want to speak to and pretend my phone has gone off and answer it and pretend to talk.

Even if the Gaza Ceasefire holds – and I'm so sceptical – Trump needs to rein in his expectations of being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.

The one announced tomorrow will be for 2024 – when he was spending more time in court than playing dress-up as peacemaker – and they aren't awarded posthumously.

When I'm in a Billy no mates situation I can pretend it's arisen because I was looking at my phone so nobody wanted to disturb me.
