Breath Ray posted:I like him. He is a lovely bloke when you get to know him and a drat good MP in a tough ward. This is an exciting new line of trolling for you. Interesting. I wish you well in your endeavour of pretending George Galloway is not a shithead and not a terrible constituency MP. 10th March 1944: The National Liberation Front was formed in the mountains of northern Greece in opposition to the Nazi occupation. forkboy84 fucked around with this message at 14:44 on Mar 10, 2017 |

The judgment is well worth reading because the court's attempts to explain Twitter (with the aid of an appendix, no less!) have the potential to be the "popular beat combo" of the 2010s.

I find the concept of resident trolls problematic. Is plurality so unwelcome? Anyway, some good news. Real disposable income growth 2010-2014 is up for the poorest 10% in the UK and down for the median and top 10%. From a graph in yesterday's FT. Source: OECD.

TomViolence posted:I mean I agree with most of that but the last part, does that make me a weirdo leftist? I think it's more things like how he loves Assad because America doesn't and turned on dime from hating Saddam to praising him after the Gulf War. Basically West is Bad, so anyone who opposes the West is Good. Like how the really pro-tier tankies talk about North Korea sticking it to the imperialists.

Western "interests" are bad, the thing is that non-western "interests" are just as bad, or worse. At some point though, they all meld together into a big pool of poo poo. By "interests" I mean big money, mostly. Which in the end is the reason behind every military power play, every terrorist group, every everything.
