I like languages, history, dogs (especially my lad Eric), films and books. I used to believe (and work) in politics. I support Sunderland and Celtic.

One thing I love about France is that they're always 100% France. They know what they're about and they follow through at all times

Britain is a vassal state, and it's business as usual under Burnham. The UN released a report in Janary carried out by Special Rapporteur on the promotion and protection of human rights & fundamental freedoms while countering terrorism, Ben Saul. This doesn't meet the UN criteria of terror. [1/2]

The big idea was always “cut essential services and the public will spontaneously become more entrepreneurial and innovate to make them unnecessary”. Sadly we have consistently failed our genius political thinkers, so minds naturally turn to: what if we just let them die, wouldn’t that be better.
A fairer headline would be 'Reform UK proposes letting disabled people die'.

As with everything else: they know what they’ve done and they know they are to blame. But they’re superior people - they are so obviously superior, that it never occurs to them to think about exactly how superior they might be - so it must be somebody else’s fault.
A great example of what always happens when the lads are asked to consider their own deep, immediately obvious guilt: like the Iraq War or austerity or Brexit, it turns out it was everybody’s fault. And if it’s everybody’s fault, nobody is really to blame www.thetimes.com/article/aadd...

“I didn’t know that this would hit my mum. I thought it would only hit those faking scroungers I read about in the Mail.”
Depressing to see BBC headline treating this as if it's a serious proposition But Reform are serious about returning us to an 18th-century level of social support So many of their voters depend on the sorts of benefits they would strip away #TurkeysVoting4Christmas www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
