Is it worth establishing a causal connection between the craving, and the unfeasible distance?

And there isn't anything in the Constitution that Americans keep swanking about to stop a malignant narcissistic madman doing something like this?

I doubt Jesus would hate anyone. But I’m sure he’d invite him to eat with himself and the gang, deliver a few pointed parables, and top it with a bit of the withering “Woe to you…” Then suggest MJ get out of the politics business for good, and help those who hunger and thirst righteousness.

But he won't. There'll always be someone from the richer end of MAGA, a rich donor who buys into the obscene libel, or can't bear to see the fat scumbag in reduced circumstances.

Mojumi @mojumi.bsky.social · 16h

It's interesting how the very rich tend to be the ones who turn out to be unable or unwilling to pony up when they are ruled liable. With amounts of this magnitude - see also Michelle Mone in the UK - we need instant action as deterrent for stalling.

Agreed that Young is very timid.I don't think panellists should be asking the presenter to control other contributors. Once you start that, everybody will abuse it. It's up to the host. I don't see why allowing a guest to destroy the discussion is good for ratings.

Interesting thought that Nandy should have gone to Young.

Mojumi @mojumi.bsky.social · 18h

My opinion, FWIW, is that she's a terrific correspondent, but like Kuenssberg, like Fiona Bruce, she isn't a natural chair - you have to be able to impose authority, and whatever you think of their politics, none of them have that. Jo Coburn did but even she struggled with some of panellists.

If Tories (and #ReformUk are just as bad) have so little confidence in their own arguments that they have to suppress everyone else, they shouldn't be on TV. And the #BBC shouldn't book them.

#BBCPoliticsLive Richard Holden's behaviour on this morning's programme was boorish. Performative outrage, shouting over #LisaNandy, interrupting, ignoring the presenter when she tried to bring him under control. "Shouting like an angry man in a pub",(Nandy), did angry men in pubs no favours.
