None of these words make a lick of sense to me.

One of these youtube alt-right "intellectuals" has a fake skull that he keeps in the background of his videos. Except it shows up in every location he films in so he obviously thinks it's so badass he has to have it with him at all times.

The same guy also always has a glass of whiskey but if you look closely he just takes tiny baby sips of it so it's still full by the end of his videos. This is one of those "feminism is killing masculinity" assholes.

I keep thinking that Conservative support must be bottoming out about now - we've had two terrorist incidents that were potentially preventable if not for cuts to the police, a generation-defining fire that could have been prevented if not for an unwillingness to perform safety reviews and implement safety regulations, and the most thoroughly botched electoral campaign in decades, fought for an election of hubris; and that's just this year.

Then I remember that Brexit negotiations have not even started and any Tories unaffected by all the deaths because they only care for profits (i.e. the majority) are going to start getting really upset as it becomes more obvious what a colossal and avoidable economic disaster we have coming our way in 2019.

Then I remember that Parliament hasn't even opened yet and we still don't know what sort of deal has been struck with the DUP, and any Tories who don't care about lives or profits but might care about basic political stability are going to start feeling pretty anxious about the fact that the DUP deal combined with Brexit puts an unprecedented amount of pressure on the Good Friday Agreement.

Just, loving hell.

Im at the train station waiting for my train and feeding the crows cause crows are cool.
There's one adult crow here hopping around with its foot bend back under its leg like it has a broken ankle or something. The other crows are bringing it food.

It's sad and sweet at the same time.

I hope the crow gets better, and that we can all learn a lesson from altruistic crows.

he's still going on the "unfortunate and unacceptable, shouldn't have happened, lessons to be learnt" line while trying to sound as non-specifically outraged as possible

quote:

Lavish London mansions. A hand-painted Rolls-Royce. And eight dead friends. For the British fixer Scot Young, working for Vladimir Putin's most vocal critic meant stunning perks � but also constant danger. His gruesome death is one of 14 that US spy agencies have linked to Russia � but the UK police shut down every last case. A bombshell cache of documents today reveals the full story of a ring of death on British soil that the government has ignored.

The London square was still and cold when the body fell, dropping silently through the moonlight and landing with a thud. Impaled through the chest on the spikes of a wrought iron fence, it dangled under the streetlamps as blood spilled onto the pavement. Overhead, a fourth-floor window stood open, the lights inside burning.

The dead man was Scot Young. The one-time multimillionaire and fixer to the world�s super-rich had been telling friends, family, and the police for years that he was being targeted by a team of Russian hitmen � ever since his fortune vanished overnight in a mysterious Moscow property deal. He was the ninth in a circle of friends and business associates to die in suspicious circumstances. But when the police entered his penthouse that night, they didn�t even dust for fingerprints. They declared his death a suicide on the spot and closed the case.

Russian assassins have been able to kill in Britain with impunity over the past decade, 17 current and former British and American intelligence officials told BuzzFeed News. The reasons for Britain�s reticence, they said, include fear of retaliation, police incompetence, and a desire to preserve the billions of pounds of Russian money that pour into British banks and properties each year. As a result, Russia is making what one source called increasingly �bold moves� in the UK without fear of reprisals.

Prime minister Theresa May is facing growing calls to respond to claims that her government has concealed evidence relating to Russian assassinations in Britain. In her six years as home secretary, she spearheaded the British government�s response to national security threats and presided over cuts of �2.3 billion from the national law enforcement budget that several senior officers have blamed for a drastic reduction in police capabilities. May personally intervened to delay the public inquiry into Litvinenko�s death, citing the need to protect �international relations� with Russia. And in the Perepilichnyy case, her government has withheld sensitive evidence from the inquest on �national security� grounds. Downing Street, the Home Office and Scotland Yard did not respond to repeated requests for comment.

The core reason British authorities have turned a blind eye, a current senior national security adviser to the British government told BuzzFeed News, is fear. Ministers, he said, were not prepared to take the �political risk of dealing firmly and effectively in whatever way with the activities of the Russian state and Russian-organised crime in the UK� because the Kremlin could inflict massive harm on Britain by unleashing cyberattacks, destabilising the economy, or mobilising elements of Britain�s large Russian population to �cause disruption�. Deep law enforcement funding cuts mean �our capabilities are very weak�, he said. It was also impossible to rule out the risk of �general war with Russia� in the current climate, he said, and �if it were to happen it would happen very, very rapidly, and we would be entirely unprepared�. As a result, he concluded, ministers �desperately don�t want to antagonise the Russians� and senior figures in government had told him bluntly that there was �no political appetite to deal with the Russian Federation�.

A senior US intelligence official, who is still serving and cannot be named, told BuzzFeed News that the British have �downplayed involvement of Russians on their soil for years�. Reflecting the views of several sources, he added: �The Brits made a deal years ago that the Russians could come in and spend money on housing and stimulate the economy and they�ll look the other way.�
