Through a telescope, but first we turn the telescope back to front so it looks like you're much further away...

The Telegraph will always be a Right Wing paper, that's its raison d'etre, but it used to be respected as a RW voice, whereas now it's just a broadsheet version of the Mail. In my late father's words, the comment was biased but the actual news wasn't. Maybe it can be again? Probably not, though.

From my (admittedly small sample size) personal experience it's the other way round - the Reform nutters all seem to be pro-Trump, but even the pro-Brexit Tories I know hate him.

If not man, why man's name? (/s just in case it's not obvious...)

I once met the lead singer of The Alarm in the queue at the watch counter in Woolworths in Rhyl.

I'm fine with not having the sword, but when everything else *put together* can be bought for 4050, it leaves those of us with more than 10000 but less than 40000 in the whole "90% of this was a waste of time" bracket.

So much better* (and no that wasn't on purpose...)

It works by not being able to edit posts, what you say remains what you said. Sucks for typos but do much better for not letting nazis pretend they didn't say what they said.

Who were those people saying Labour should tack still further to the right, Wes? Are they with us in the room now? Are they called Wes Streeting?

If it's pinpoint bombing, then he's confirming that they intentionally targeted a girl's school to kill 150+ children. I'm not sure what type of hell exists for that, but I hope it hurts when he gets there.

"become"?

We know, but that was 30 years ago.

250,000 civilians murdered is *never* "the right choice" and if you believe it was then you are literally a monster.

At least Keir Starmer has come out to unequivocally condemn this mass murder of innocent childre - oh, wait, hang on, no, he condemned Iran for defending itself against the unprovoked attacks.
Can I have my vote back from the last General Election, please?

sounds about right, sadly.

Fuck Trump. Fuck the puppeteers behind him. Fuck the GOP, especially congressional Republicans and quisling Democrats, who enabled him. Fuck the people who voted for this, and fuck the media for never reporting on him realistically.

Fuck them all, for they have truly fucked us and the world.

Difference is, back then the NF were seen as a fringe element and universally condemned by, not seen as the next prospective government.

You see a cute video. We see a non-paid water taxi/uber fare.

They're both good people, though

Of all the things I've missed since having to cut out gluten, pot noodles are not in the top 100 :)

This is the way the world ends, not with a bang but a "You're right, I made a mistake."

I know zip about any of them but the name I saw was Dylan Larkin, if that means anything?

For... reasons, I have signed up under the account of my cat, Poppy... seems about right, to be fair.

OK, as offers go, that is... a good one. Consider yourself my first ever Patreon contribution, good Sir.

Having grown up under Thatcher, that's not necessarily a panacea. Although there seems to be a thing over here that women only rise to the top on the Right, while you have the opposite experience.

Maybe don't drape your medal over Patel's neck? Apparently at least one of the team noped out when they saw him, but the rest seemed all-in.
