Jack Kirby talking about Darkseid and the anti-life equation: “If someone
took control of your mind and you were not able to think as yourself any longer you would no longer be yourself. You'd be something in his command. You as an individual would be dead. That's anti life.”

Well, you have that luxury, here, on the internet. Back in the real world, Blair's mate Gavin has a very expensive spreadsheet that says it's simply impossible to say that anything involving a 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿or a 🇬🇧 is The Bad Nationalism.

Always clear it was just lads who wear their prefect badge to bed taking another step to reassure themselves they are very clever and not even a little bit oikish, yes.

As discord suffers a massive data breach of people's personal data and ID documents congrats to the UK Government for bringing in the undercooked law that made it absolutely inevitable this would happen, repeatedly
