Farage: epic grifter

I think you're ascribing too much thought to them. On an emotional level, 'do I remember long, hot summers?' is about as much thought as people need to grumble about preparation costs and sorting recycling.

How on earth do you decide to spend 450 quid per flag, when racists will do it for free?

My view from across the pond is that the whole republican party have lost their minds, and the Dems have rolled over until the next elections.
They should look at what's happened to the conservatives here, who went mental for Johnson.

Wait, you're saying a small amount of coffee is less polluting than dirty street water is?
And the fine was completely correct until it was examined publicly?
Amazing.

why did this take two fucking days though? did the Prime Minister have his notifications switched off? was he stuck in the bath? why, exactly, is this obviously true thing something that apparently needs running past the boss anyway? what is *wrong* with their comms operation?

NEW: Labour condemn Tory plan to strip people of indefinite leave to remain:

“It’s utterly grotesque that Tories want to deport people with the lawful right to be here to achieve ‘cultural coherence’.

“This policy would mean tearing families apart and ripping out our neighbours from communities."

Anna Turley MP, Labour Party Chair, said:

“It’s utterly grotesque that Tories want to deport people with the lawful right to be here to achieve ‘cultural coherence’.

“This policy would mean tearing families apart and ripping out our neighbours from communities.

“That’s Tory Party policy and shows how far the party has fallen. The Tories haven’t learned a thing.”

I've rarely seen outrage like the White House demolition has caused. It's like tearing a bit off the constitution to light your cigarette. It demonstrates clearly that the current administration has no respect for tradition, history, national values.

It's now 9 years since I saw this pinned to the wall in a local hospital, and not a week has gone by when I haven't thought about it.

Who loses one shoe?
Or did Diane only have one leg?
If they know it's Diane's, why make a poster at all?
Is it some kind of sinister threat?

I'm currently wondering if there's anything at all Jenrick wouldn't do for power. It's strangely fascinating to see someone abase themselves so far in the name of ambition.
