Reminds me of the time that Disney had to send round a memo ordering their staff to stop referring to the studio as 'Mauschwitz' on social media. The staff complied, changing the name to 'Duckau'.

This guy is a liar himself, look how he distorts the evidence. For example: Trump is an awful human being and a terrible leader and I'd go as far as to say that his January 6th shenanigans were treasonous but to pin the rise in the murder rate on him and him alone seems to be a wilful neglect of the other circumstances. Covid isolated people within their own houses and there are a lot of guns in those houses as is outlined in one of the links in the article.

File under: more Conservative hypocrisy.

OK so it's time to say the quiet part out loud: the reason that governments have so far held off on taxing billionaires at 1% or 2% is the fear that they might spend 2% or 3% against those governments in revenge.

What ever happened to him?

Well, he pulled it on Rorschach, and Rorschach dropped him down an elevator shaft.

 

Seriously, did they just go down the Westminster Jobcentre?

the ability of professional journalists to locate these specimens.

Heave half a brick out of window and you'll hit one.

 

This gave me a big belly laugh:

Another Conservative said: “The answer is we need to find a way to appeal to voters we lost to all parties. I don’t know how you do that on policy, but Keir Starmer showed you can do it by looking competent and serious. But I don’t know if any of the candidates we have at the moment can do that.”

 

The original settlement of Salisbury was known as Old Sarum. The population and cathedral city had moved in the 14th century to New Sarum, at the foot of the Old Sarum hill.

 

Turns out they're capitalists too...

 

To them it's hilarious that all of our suffering was caused by someone else praying for it.
