Scottish, I believe in the power and inherent goodness of a society, not quite a socialist but a societalist. I am not a great fan of the political approach of conservatives, Scottish independence supporter.

I choose independence, because no one will ever do a better job for Scotland than the people who live here and love our country. We are ready to write the next chapter in Scotland’s story.

Three public schoolboy arseholes on a jape. Why anyone takes these morons seriously is beyond me. They contribute fuck all and believe that doing fuck all for a living is worth a wage. Not an hour of real work between them, the idle, entitled cunts.

The Talmud teaches that anyone who sustains one soul, has sustained an entire world. For generations, Jewish New Yorkers have sustained our city. Today, we are launching the first-ever municipal Strategy to Combat Antisemitism.

San Frans Opera demanded a 5-year wage freeze for its musicians while the General Director's salary jumped from $424k to $729k. 30 minutes before opening night, the orchestra packed up and walked out to join the picket line for the first strike in the opera’s 100 year history.

Evidence shows young people are safer when they are in school. Since we implemented my Violence Reduction Unit's London Inclusion Charter, the rate of permanent exclusions, suspensions and persistent absenteeism in our city’s schools have all reduced.

First the real extremists are the actual Nazis you fucking idiot. Secondly how is "radical right" more "Orwellian" than "far right"? That doesn't even make sense.

For Matthew Syed, we’ve been looking for German extremism in the wrong place. Not the AfD, the real extremist was…Angela Merkel.

Once a year I create a new email account and contact customer service at condom brands asking if they are loose fitting for fashion reasons. Always a joy to read the responses.

An oil-producing nation with no refinery. An exporting nation with no shipping routes. An electricity producer forced to pay to upload to the “national” grid. Welcome to our blessed "union of equals".

Today? Oh, today is the 54th anniversary of French hypermarket Carrefour opening its first store on UK soil in Caerphilly. Obviously. Not all that remarkable in itself, perhaps, but its 6th birthday was one to remember, what with the 40ft, three-ton animatronic gorilla being there...

Our yearlong investigation reveals Nigel Farage courting illicit funding as part of a plot to bring foreign money into British politics, orchestrated by his top aides and caught on hidden camera.

Just became aware of the right-wing commentator who hammers on about personal responsibility, privatising the NHS, and “victimhood” culture who is now crowdfunding to have the mould removed from the ‘ancient’ farmhouse he bought. The “what if Aesop wrote fables about cunts?” question strikes again.
