Don't get it twisted. Those close-up Vanity Fair photos aren't mean. They're art. Hate corrodes the container it's carried in. Exposing evil and invoking a response is art.

How can you have a review of foreign interference in elections without, you know, reviewing past elections? Who wants a review of a film you haven’t seen yet??
LibDem Calum Miller, "Will the review look back.. Including the 2014 and 2016 Referendums?"
Steve Reed, "It will be forward looking, there will be no relitigating of previous elections or referendum"
"There have been no findings that any elections to date were affected by foreign interference"

The Times reporting what Trump said about Panorama splicing his own words, without bothering to note he’s making up a completely false allegation of putting words he didn’t say into his mouth. The lack of correction allows Trump to spread fake news, ostensibly by condemning “fake news”.

Given the BBC is publicly funded, this is Donald Trump suing you & me.
It’s a pathetic cry-bully attack on journalism by a wannabe dictator & an attack on every British person.

A muslim intervened in the last shooting in Australia, a muslim intervened in the latest shooting in Australia and a muslim intervened in the train attack in the UK.
Are these all coincidences?
Or is it that muslims are just people and sometimes heroes like everyone else?
