...But I could hardly wait six months with a red hot jape like that under me belt.

Majid nawazz is absolutely unhinged. He needs to sit down with a nice cup of tea and a buiscut.

I follow people like him and Dave Rubin because I find them a useful bellwether of the cognitive dissonance and false equivalence that are fueling this loving mess.

Because if you have 1 thing and take away 2, you have -1 things, and add 4 you get 3, or more intuitively if you have 1 thing and add 4 you have 5, then take away 2 you have 3. Or 4 things and take away 2 you have 2 and add 1 you have 3. It works whatever order you put them in, which you have to assume is the case without any brackets.

1 - (2 + 4) would get you -5.

for FUCKS sake stop messsing me about. it is 3 isn't it !?!?!?

Hey does anyone remember this news site, or maybe it was just a twitter, but they reported about news from the UK I believe, but they reported on it in the same way that modern news report on news from the developing world, using terms like "the regime" and the like which put a very sinister look on the whole thing. It was a great thing for showing double standards in journalism.

It’s one of the BBC Africa correspondents I think but I don’t recall the name. Not Andrew Harding?

E: I’m wrong it’s Joseph Cotterill from the FT

oh and that guy is 0% on-the-job police but is very likely an off-the-job or retired cop of some flavor, which is probably also part of why he's actually bothering to mask up

the punisher skull and the thin blue line motif are both police things that would absolutely not be tolerated in working capitol police but are both very strongly associated with person-who-identifies-as-cop

not quite sure what's up with the flag on his hat but i'm sure it's horrific

The 'working Capitol police' have been taking selfies with armed insurrectionists and arresting journalists. You wanna put money on that?
