The British Empire was the largest empire that ever existed. At its zenith it controlled 1/4 of the world’s population and landmass. This achievement was built upon systematic violence.
I guess 'British exceptionalism' arose from the misconception that the British were somehow special b/c of this.

Was Karoline involved? Did she have her brother’s baby momma arrested for some reason? Perhaps to get her out of the picture?

At Zelenskyy’s meeting with European allied leaders, one leader said Trump, his family, and his business partner see the Ukraine war—and “peace deal”—as a real estate deal. He said Trump and Witkoff don’t understand diplomacy and are only focused on enriching themselves. Everything is now exposed.

The way Palestine Action ban was approved by MPs has been raised in the High Court, with Dame Victoria Sharp noting 2 unrelated groups were on the same order
She says MPs may have been "reluctant" to vote against it but the home sec lawyer says the court should be "cautious" giving that any weight

Many MPs demanding explanation on why two other groups are on same banning order
Labour MP Kim Johnson says: "Lumping Palestine Action together with other two obscure groups to ensure it is proscribed is a disgraceful manipulation of parliamentary procedure"

I know I'm going to sound insufferable but I reckon I could make coffee (and sandwiches) for about 2 months uninterrupted if the gas and electricity went off tomorrow. Beans, hand grinder, several camping stoves, Kelly kettle, rocket stove, home-made penny stove...insufferable, or addicted. Or both.

Because Labour and the Tories conflated all types of immigration with illegal immigration, exactly what Farage and his Nazi mates wanted. Gone is all discussion about the benefits migrants bring to the work force, now they're framed as taking away something from the British people.

Felt like this when mortgage payments went up a few years ago - yes, it's horrible to now be paying an extra £200 a month, but that's been happening to renters year on year and there were no sadface articles on that, just "market forces" and "nobody has a right to live in a city"
This house tax pretending is making me more insane than usual because as a renter I’ve had to move every 1-3 years just as standard because rents always rise. And no one cares. House owners get a tiny fraction of that precarity and suddenly it’s the worst thing that’s ever happened
