There have been so many things this year that would've been really funny if we were watching a tongue in cheek political comedy film making fun of him by taking his personality to comic extremes, but really aren't funny when he's doing it himself and it affects actual people's lives.

I know, but the 'melty waxwork sculpture' effect is actually just his face, and the 'sundried tomato' skin tone is one of many signs of his failing health. It's been confirmed by multiple credible sources that, for some reason, this is happening.

This. All the resources we need are readily available in Europe and the Commonwealth. Any production we require from raw resources can be developed, and would benefit us to do so.
I'm all for trading with others, but I really think we should prioritise the ones willing to peacefully co-exist.

Not absolutely covered in Union flags to the point that the tree could sail away on a gentle breeze, no giant cross (ideally also covered with flags), no sign saying "HE DIED FOR YOUR SINS! REJECT THE HEATHEN!", really nice lights, 2/10

Oh I'm not disputing that they'd be good trading partners in a material sense, but in the sense of "not using that trade to work towards the goal of undermining Europe's independence and it's values" I think they're either on par with the US at best and more likely actually worse.

Since you mentioned it, I'm wondering if you can explain the China part? Because yes I absolutely agree that the US has positioned itself as a lynchpin of Europe's defense and trade and then exploited this, but China's already doing the same to others so I don't get why people think they won't to us

The absolute moral emptiness of this aside, it wouldn't even be workable as a policy. What happens if you get married and then develop one of the many, many degenerative conditions that doesn't present until later in life? Is it annulled?
Or do we all have to do DNA screening first to check?

But you're honestly doing great - you're covering a broad range of topics at a relentless speed and walking the line between being properly angry and not just ranting at a camera but offering solutions, advice, alternatives etc.
I know feedback is more useful than praise, but your format works.

To echo some other comments - some content with examples of real issues people are facing with regards to food etc, and ways other people have solved those issues - food networks, homegrowing basics etc.
Beyond that my only nitpick is that your auto-caption makes mistakes, often hilarious ones.

...Can we just go with that? Is that an option?

I can't help but wonder if, were someone to tell the entire internet to burn him, and everyone he works with, and then the entirety of Reform (locations and members), he'd consider that to be just an "anti-fascist tweet" and not worthy of police action?

Isn't it weird how people who are vocally obsessed with normalising the discussion and scrutiny of the genitals of minors keep turning out to be sexually interested in minors?
Eagerly awaiting the outrage of the people who are "just worried about the children!".

World leaders, for some reason. Especially Starmer.
I have no idea *why* they trust him - they obviously shouldn't, he's openly one of the least trustworthy people alive. And yet they keep making deals with him based on promises for the future so I can only assume they're willing to believe him.

That was my first thought - this seems like an absolutely farcical sham trial he's putting on after being definitively informed he'll fall flat on his face trying it in the UK. I haven't seen anything yet that's even trying to dispel me of that notion.

Messaging the provider and telling them you don't want AI is too complex with 20 year old accounts?

Unsub and tell them why, encourage others to do the same - basically your only option there. (Or bite the bullet and keep using them but leave bad feedback about it and hope that's enough, because we are allowed things that aren't ethically perfect sometimes)

Can anyone explain to me how a court in the US is supposed to have jurisdiction over the British Broadcasting Company airing a show in Britain? Is there some odd mechanism that allows this, or are they just making it up as they go entirely?

While we're talking about cross atlantic accountability, how about re-opening the issue of the US woman who killed a child because she was driving on the wrong side of the road and instead of calling an ambulance sped back to a US airbase to fly away and claim diplomatic immunity?

Melania has a special relationship with Donald. Anyone pursuing the same should really consider the fact that she actively hates him and either doesn't try very hard to hide it or hates him so potently it can't be concealed.

I took real delight once in informing someone that not only was my surname not the "Russian shit" they assumed and is an old English trade name, but that I also knew the origin of their last name, which was German.
They said it wasn't. I told them to look it up.
I treasure the memory of their face.

It's also extremely worth noting that every other political party in the UK verifies their membership numbers with an independent organisation . Reform straight up refuses to do this, so the numbers they give us aren't actually credible.

I tried reading it too at about 17 - I wanted to be able to recognise the arguments he used and have already put thought into deconstructing them if I ever encountered them, and I honestly couldn't get through it. I stopped really early. It was SO whiny and self aggrandising I just couldn't.

They seem to be pandering for the approval of far right twitter bots more than their actual voter base, as best I can tell. Which is just the worst of all worlds strategically - the bots can't vote (yet), the far right wants more, the left is outraged and even the center is shuffling uncomfortably.
