Varoufakis is a shithead.
What is this high school debate shit?
Everyone wants peace!
Adults just realize that any peace which lasts beyond a Russian re-arming / recruitment cycle has to be on terms that don't reward Russia's initial invasion with land and legitimacy, and which meaningfully deter future aggression.

Better still, put £10K for each kid in an index tracker and spend £27K a year on luxuries.
My free advice to this couple? Instead of paying £47k a year in school fees and scraping by, stick 15k a year in each kid's bank account so that they each have around £100k at age 18 to spend on a house, business or uni. You then have £17k/year leftover to spend on luxuries. Better life all round

Quite pleased with my first dog haiku (albeit yes, I didn't follow the rules).

This is it. Time to get off the US drug and stand together as Europeans.
There we go - now we have higher ranking US officials campaigning publicly against the EU, European governments and the rule of law.
Here an example of pretending only diplomatic passport gives her the freedom to criticise an MEP.

Probably best for all parties that the Saudi League offers say £80m to end this.

Whispers: I went to the one in Portsmouth about 13 years ago and it was “fine” and would go again …
Perplexed at this. The mid-market restaurant is in a bad way, and frankly what has changed to make Jamie’s Italian a better proposition than it was six years ago?

Soul-sucking shitbag imagines everyone in the provinces is prejudiced and dons an overcoat of ambitious loathing. Also do fuck off with the "I'm just a horny handed peasant" - we've got your academic CV.

Two flaws in this though.
a) Farage will not last forever - his voter group are old and he's been in politics for more than thirty years
b) "We pay but have no say" means SM membership is inherently unstable

There is no point entertaining scenarios for the UK that EU institutions and member states would as things stand now endlessly slowroll.
Parking a UK where Farage polls at 26-33% in the Single Market rather than full membership is in the EU's strategic interest.

I was just saying to my mate that Britain needed a mission of national renewal, renewing our country, understanding our country for what it is, which is a society of reasonable, pragmatic, compassionate people who would actually help each other out if they had half the chance to do so
