I never knew you weren’t from North London. Where are you from?

Well that’s a relief. Welcome back.

It was nowhere near this bad before 2016

I got banned from Instagram before I'd made a single post. I only joined because I wanted to contact somebody who sold a car accessory I wanted and that was where he was. Three weeks later I've somehow broken their rules without doing anything.

Didn't bother me one bit, fortunately.

Yes!

I switched to Greens just before the last election. I was delighted when Starmer won the leadership but he’d already lost me by the election.

I don’t agree with all Green policies but their heart is in the right place.

The test matches currently taking place I frankly do not want to see.

Pretty sure it was “hand it”

Anyone enjoying these should read The Henry Root Letters, also by Donaldson.

I tried to vote and gave up on the fourth captain grid asking me to identify squares with motorcycles

That's true of the tabloids. The Telegraph, to choose a specific example, has gone completely nuts over the last 25 years or so. In the 1980s it was right-leaning but serious.

I would be more upset about this if I had any intention of visiting the US at the moment.

Yes. I can see why one might object in principle, and you certainly wouldn’t include it if you were designing a democracy, but actually it sort of works.

Not The Express though.

I am a white British person born in London. My mother was French so I have dual nationality despite not having a French passport or speaking the language.

It's worth noting, when mocking the ambiguity of some of these "policies" is that they were written by somebody who wants to make them look ridiculous. The actual manifesto makes it clear they mean the Police, Crime Sentencing and Courts Act 2022 which should absolutely be scrapped.
