Good to see @eddavey.libdems.org.uk being more direct about the disaster that is Brexit. No solution exists to Britain's economic woes that doesn't involve a reversing major parts of the Brexit deal and eventually reversing it altogether.

So wait…

Is Tel Aviv now a no-go area for Jews?

Are Maccabi Tel Aviv antisemitic for attacking Jews and Jewish police?

Are Tel Aviv police antisemitic for blocking Jews from a game of football?

Would I be antisemitic for criticising Israelis (and therefore all Jews globally) for rioting?

Before 2016, Drumpf never entered my thoughts. He was a non-entity. I knew of him, knew he was on a reality TV show (the kind of TV I loathe) yet, before 2016, I could care less about him or what he tweeted.

I want that feeling back.
I want to never hear of him ever again.
I want him to disappear.

It’s almost like the safety experts made the right decision re the Villa game. After Hillsborough Starmer is an absolute twat for weighing in and making a football safety decision political.

I got a potato and wire and a copper penny but I couldn’t find a zinc plated screw.

I put it all together anyway, but it didn’t work and now I’m being arrested for attempted battery.

Large scale nonviolent demonstrations are a powerful tool and the regime is incredibly sad that they didn’t get the riots they were hoping for

If you are confident that a boat near Venezuela is carrying drugs, you stop it and board it. That way, you have evidence.

If you don't really care if a boat near Venezuela is carrying drugs, but you just want to kill people, you blow the boat up. That way, the irrelevant evidence is gone.
