Just awful: A 75-year-old man just died in ICE custody, ICE has revealed in a notice to Congress. But here's the rub: This man, a Cuban national, was first paroled into the US in 1966—nearly 60 years ago! They were set to deport him anyway. Details in my new piece: newrepublic.com/article/1974...

Apparently he's got form... "I think Enoch Powell is the man”, proclaimed Rod Stewart. “I’m all for him. This country is overcrowded. The immigrants should be sent home.” bylinetimes.com/2020/04/30/r...

Bowie. He knew everything.
Rod Stewart has always been a twat. Bowie used to talk about it from time to time. Also in the early 70s he got my Mam booted from first class on a train when she'd snuck in because he wanted the whole carriage. She didn't know he was even there she was just looking for a seat. Bellend.

Congratulations. You've found the link to the least accurate thing anyone has ever written about Brexit. Daniel Hannan penned a piece 2 days before the referendum explaining what life would be like on 24 June 2025, ie today. It's worth a read for the laughs. www.reaction.life/p/britain-lo...
