I'm old enough to remember when Gordon Brown was forced to apologise to a woman for calling her a bigot.
The very least we should expect is that Nigel Farage apologises for being one.

I’m a past winner of the Orwell Prize & won partly because I exposed Vote Leave’s unlawful activities.
Michael Gove was its co-convener & refused to answer a single q. He’s now a judge of the prize & our world is truly one that Orwell would recognise

I did this in both of my classes this semester. It was super successful. The students had to ask an LLM about a subject they already knew well, like their favorite musician, movie, sports team, or something else they had previously researched.

This is outrageous from Keir Starmer.
‘Russian links to Reform need investigating’, he says. So why is his government still fighting case now in Grand Chamber of Strasbourg court refusing to have such an investigation into Russian interference ??

I've found this to be true when it comes to explaining why I still mask in public. Once nearly everybody had already had COVID once vaccines were out, "I don't want to die" garnered skepticism but "My favorite foods tasted wrong for six months last time" had folks going "oh, huh, that makes sense!"
Same reason people go on motorcycles without helmets: your argument about deaths means nothing to them.
Tell em the most likely outcome is not death, but 60 years of pain and not being able to wipe their own ass, though, and suddenly they think a helmet is a good idea.

Badenoch wants to eliminate ‘rip off degrees’ like English. The usual philistine crap that a degree is just about work. The mission to create the stupidest nation on earth. And counterproductive. Young people will work for years. They’ll retrain endlessly. A degree can help them learn how to learn

Badenoch and Co see education only as a means to a massive income in some soul destroying career.
Devoid of imagination and the power of knowledge they view life entirely through the prism of the CV.

I'd actually forgotten how extraordinary it is that when I won the leadership - I wasn't interviewed as it was too close to our party conference interviewed.
And then refused a second time!
Part of the antidote to all of this is creating our own media platforms.
